'Don has some good suggestions. The vast majority of the 'me too' posts on NOT are so that they can participate publically. Many see the OT channel as pergatory at best or the Ignore Channel. I don't know to make it more valuable to users.
No that Agoracom has instituted thier Anti-Clutter program on the NOT forum I'd like to see the ability to move postings from the NOT forum to the NOT OT forum in the manage violations sections without penalizing somone with a 'violation'. It wouldn't take very long for people to get the hint that OT ends up on OT if they 'inadvertently' post it on the main forum.
