Moving back to discussing tagging everywhere will make these other channels less useful for some people, I guess. Maybe this is unfounded because it came out, tagging is relevant all over OpenStreetMap (i.e. tagging discussions already happen on all channels, lately even on osmf-talk) and you can hardly ignore it, and because the structure of the contributors has changed, or something like this.

The new forum may be also more capable of handling large volume of posts - you can
easily mute threads and entire categories.

As result massive posting in one thread is easier to ignore in its entirety.

This is in theory achievable with filtering and so on, but much harder to apply in
practice, with mailing lists.
