MODERATOR! Please hope us!

(I hope someone gets the joke...)

Seriously, this forum is desperately in need of moderation - many users are asking (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=812413) questions (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=812274) best (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=810713) answered (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=811065) elsewhere (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=811627), which is not helping them find solutions, and it's not helping Ubuntu users working with professional multimedia either.

We need moderators working this forum to move threads to the right areas, and we probably need this forum renamed - Professional Multimedia? UbuntuStudio? Anything! A sticky about the kinds of issues this forum is about would help too!

[rant on]I really feel like UbuntuStudio has been downplayed or ignored in this release - Launchpad bugreports are being ignored or marked as low priority; Wiki documentation hasn't been updated since Feisty; and there doesn't seem to be any way to fix it! Professional users are turning to 64Studio rather than be ignored. For a project that held so much promise, it's very disappointing.[/rant off]

Agreed. People aren't going to get the help they need if their posts linger, unanswered and in the wrong forum. Two forums with "Multimedia" in the title aren't helping the matter. Perhaps "Studio Applications" would be more accurate, as it can refer to anything from Ubuntu Studio.

Again, agreed. I've considered moving to 64studio myself. With Canonical taking it up as an official project, I had high hopes for Ubu Stu - and I haven't given up! - but it's certainly being neglected now.

Wiki documentation hasn't been updated since Feisty; and there doesn't seem to be any way to fix it!

Which wiki documentation are you talking about? If it's the community documentation here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio then all you need to edit it is a launchpad account (free to sign up), and it's up to the community to develop that.

Moderation is needed in this forum, and a name change might help some of the issues. People in charge are aware of the issue.

As for the Launchpad bugs, can you provide any references?

True. And that was unfair of me, as it's the UbuntuStudio website (http://ubuntustudio.org/) that is uncommunicative. However, after three releases of UbuntuStudio, shouldn't there be a push from the dev team to improve everything (or, in fact, anything)?

Being aware of the issue really isn't enough. And the fact that you know and nobody else seems to is symptomatic of poor communication on the part of the moderators. This is not a problem that has suddenly arisen from nowhere.

As for the Launchpad bugs, can you provide any references?

How about https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24/+bug/197130, which took almost two months and a lot of shouting before attention was paid.

Does this mean we can expect other irrelevant threads to be moved?

That is so ironic...sort of

I don't see what the problem is.

Moderators aren't omniscient.

If you see threads that are posted in the wrong subforums, click the REPORT button and report the first post in that thread. Reported posts are flagged for moderator action. Moderators can't look at every single thread to see which ones should be moved.

This isn't a Recurring Discussion, since it hasn't been brought up before, but it is a useless discussion.

If something is misplaced, report it.
