Go "all in", right?

I've asked our customer support team to reach out.

I click on landlord doc. Looking for new lease templates. When i clock that it takes me to a new page, asks me to log in or pay $99 for a packet. But It says its free for pro members? AM i doing something wrong?

@Stephen Schott the Landlord Forms are only free for Pro Annual subscribers.

No, but that’s a good idea. I’ll get it added to our backlog

All the podcast episode transcripts are posted to the blog, which runs on wordpress and you can use any RSS reader to subscribe to that. Feed those into a prompt and you can get a high level summary of each episode, or search for key themes using a vector database. We use that to power the "Similar Posts You May Like" feature.

They're already prohibited. @Moderators will remove them quickly if you report them (use the "..." below the post to report).

Quote from @Mike Dymski:

Require a minimum vote ratio of 0.8 or 0.7 to post and that would eliminate the spam, improve content, dramatically improve speed of use, and eliminate the dumpster comments.  Just depends if the site wants to cater to the true fan or to a larger audience (and both are viable models).  Quality vs quantity.

Good idea. That's shockingly close to a forums code change that I hope to land this month.

 I'm seeing some chicken or the egg action here. How does one get to the 0.8 or 0.7 ratio if they are not allowed to post before getting to said ratio?

 While we are on the topic of Votes, what's up with the Top 5 rankings? 18,039 puts your boy here at #4 all time.

It’s complicated and I can’t go into the details here, but there’s not a strict 1-1 vote count going on. That was too easy to game so we had to put some logic in place to negate that. For folks with high number of votes, the difference is minimal.

Quote from @Marcus Auerbach:

Same with the "vote down" button. Can't do that, but I often wish for one, when I see someone receiving horrible advice from someone with zero personal investments telling others what they should do..

Other social networks allow downvotes once you reach a particular karma threshold. I think that works pretty well and maybe something BP could incorporate here.
