We are truly a community.
And a long lasting one which means we have quite a bit of inertia. And this means not only continuing to move in the direction we are going, but also having a great resitance to any new changes.
This means when new users come along and suggest changes, they can be met with abrupt responses. Sometimes this is good and justified: many policies of this community have been hashed out over time with lots of thought and revision. The suggestion of haphazard changes can really be disrespectful of the previous effort. But just as often the resistance to change is just knee jerk reaction. New users can have just as valid of an input as anyone else.
However, given the fact that new users, by definition, are not familiar with previous discussions of potential changes, it would be wise for newer users to be more reserved in their suggestions. Take time to how things work in a community, and perhaps try to learn why they work that way, before trying to change things.
]]>Hello...
If I can not speak English fluently and fluently, forgive me as an adult because I do not know English and I get help from Google Translate to do this..
I guarantee you that your English is far better than my Farsi; one of my greatest regrets in life is that I am not a polyglot. Kudos to you.
As an administrator here, I will tell you that the various projects around Arch Linux do watch for members that are of help to the community. The Forum moderators nominate members from the forums amongst ourselves, and will invite people to join us based upon their technical ability and judgement. The Trusted User group does something similar in which members can ask for consideration with sponsorship from the existing TU community. The same holds true for developers, Wiki administrators, etc...
We are truly a community. Welcome.
]]>3- Please consider a user group for user groups that are here, for example, managers, supervisors, users and beginners, and apply a specific color for each.
Each user has a title under their name. For most users, this is "member", but for forum moderators or administrators this is "Administrator" or "Forum Moderator". In fact, you may search for users on https://bbs.archlinux.org/userlist.php (public link to the user list is at the top of the forum: "Index User list Rules Search Profile Logout") and you can filter users according to user groups.
There are other user groups too, like developer, trusted user, etc. The default user group is "Member", but anyone in a different user group generally has a descriptive title. They are just text, not colors, but I have always thought they stood out fairly well.
I'm not sure how we'd differentiate between "users" and "beginners". One could look at the date a user joined and how many posts they made, and make a pretty good guess which people are beginners.

Oh, great if it's not that simple and crowded, it's great too
Incidentally, this simplicity is very beautiful and I like it ...
I said this as far as I could tell
thank you

There are discussions since 2019 to migrate to another forum, but it is difficult to find one that is simple and has a good javascript-free/text-mode fallback.

This was just my opinion that I wanted to say here.
