Constant and sometimes overwhelmingly reported posts all related to the obtuse meaning of "vintage." If something is creating issues over and over with the moderation queue, it needs to be addressed. We are addressing the issue. This section of the forum needs a clear-cut definition of what is...
You are missing the effort the moderator team expends to keep this section civil and especially on topic.
The polls and proposed changes are due to that; this section should not be the amount of work for the moderators as it is.
The issue becomes a double-edged sword. New sections need the traffic to survive; established forums work because of the volume of new posts. If you siphon too much from one section to another - you run the chance of messing up both sections.
I've reworked the polls about this section, dividing it into two threads. We'll keep the name the same but let the members vote on the range of years and if other gear will be allowed.
