Community Forum Etiquette
The community forums are full of one, two or three word postings containing "thanks", "thanks a lot" and many other contributions that are not related to the topic. The lack of use of the "like" button by community members has lead to long threads that cause members to scroll through many posting that contribute nothing to the topic in order to find meaningful content.
These forums need moderation. The members that make these one, two or three word comments cannot seem to help themselves and we are unable to educate them on forum usage.
Please allow or appoint some community members to moderate the forums and allow them to remove postings with mild warnings to members who do this type of thing in order to make the forums a productive, and not frustrating, environment.
I've attached a screenshot of a thread with two items and a whole bunch of single line replies that are, for the most part, different way's of saying "thanks." There is a like button for that!

Good suggestion, Roger! We appreciate your feedback and agree, however, we are focusing our resources in other areas at this time.

Please move this up to top priority. The forums are getting full of useless comments. In the educational environment quality replies are those that add value to the discussion.

Is there some reason this issue is hung-up in "will appear shortly?"
