Since that's most of the database at this point, that's a lot of work. Anything structural would have to happen at the Staff level. | |
| Nov 28, 2020 at 0:28 | comment | added | Massimo | @sysadmin1138 I totally agree. But newcomers posting useless answers to old and meaningless questions is actually a problem. I'd totally like to give them better chances to be useful. But this is really something they should not do. | |
