Hello!

As you would have noticed, there are some changes that have occurred this week in the community: new moderator, new look, but especially the temporary deactivation of the Zippy Bot, which often shared posts that were not relevant and did not encourage so much exchange between users.

So I wanted to know your opinion, collect your ideas in order to improve the community. Thank you to everyone who joins!

I like the Mac Rumors articles that the Zippy Bot posted.

What do you want this community to be? A place to discuss news articles about Apple, or a place for users to bring their own discussion topics?

Personally, I’d like it to be both. I think refining Zippy Bot would allow this community to still have plenty of rumor and news articles. I do wish there was a better balance of user posts, though, for better discussions.

If it can reduce the number of posts made by the robot by limiting it to a single source, that would be good. I’m looking at how to filter irrelevant posts from Mac Rumors. Thank you for your suggestion.
