OT: Why are ppl yelling for DEVS attention?

[usr]

True, but i think it's just an inevitable symptom of the crowdedness of this forum. Inevitable as in "there will always be some people who will react in this way".

I guess a forum as crowded as this could benefit a lot from crowdsourced moderation like the slashcode system used on slashdot. Without a method to focus on the most relevant posts the popular threads (which happen to be those with the most important topics) are basically useless after page one.
