A post from Karen, the new Director of Community:
Hi all,
We’re reimagining the online Community experience at eBay and we can’t do this without you. Over the next several weeks we’ll post updates, questions and ideas right here - in an effort to get your input on what you would like the new Community online experience to include.
To make sure we capture all of your ideas, thoughts and comments over the next few weeks and beyond - you’ll notice a few new faces online. For example, alan@ebay is joining Griff, myself and the eBay Community team as our dedicated Community Manager. After over 3 years on the boards in Dublin, Ireland, Alan is joining us at eBay headquarters in San Jose, CA. Welcome alan@ebay!
At its core, eBay is a place to sell, buy, connect, and learn - but most importantly - eBay is a place to belong. And, our online Community plays a big part in making that happen. Thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts as we build the best Community experience together.
The eBay Community Team
Unfortunately, the only way to "find" this new board is through the main Community page and then the notice is only included in the "scrolling headlines info" at the top of the page.
Here is the link for quick access....share your thoughts and opinions, but, imo, it should be "Community" related and not about eBay problems in general...and FYI, for those who remember, bostongrammy posted!

Hi @sockmonkeydave
Good post, thanks for sharing that with me.
As part of our improvements to Community, we're going to be changing our moderation strategy. We realize that in the past we may have been too quick in hand-slapping and issuing of bans and we are going to move to a more productive model.
We love the passion that our Community users have for eBay and we don't want to lose that passion.
Thank you, love ~ I'll be there!
Hey, new posting options! While they still have the "body" 
Spoiler
Wondering if the more lenient posting rules will let us say some of the bleep words like **bleep**?
Another Ooh!!!!
Check out the pet sleeping thread - theres a Plus sign on the pics to enlarge the photos 😉

notation, lol, they finally got rid of those tiny teeny little icons for pictures and videos that no one could figure out what they were....one step in the right direction:

Does this mean we can say c.r.a.p. again?
NO!
Ah, shirt.
