The reason people look at the TS lists is mostly because they're lists done by exceptional players!
I know it's not their fault, however I do get the impression that many of the newer users feel shunned from these posts. If you look at a lot of these posts it appears to be solely veterans discussing the lists while new player steer clear. On several occaision I've seen the veterans explain to the newer players (quite rightly usually) why the advice they have given, while appreciated, is inferior to their own ideas and this can't be good for new players' self esteem.
I'm not saying the vets are at fault for this but I can see why many other people on this site can sense elitism within the site and that new players can be discouraged by this.
I have actually noticed this. Rather than "Your post is spam post something constructive or with reasons or don't post at all." a response to the like of "You say the list is too slow but it has xyz. . .Could you perhaps explain what you mean?" would be better.
Inviting newer posters to actually expand on thier ideas rather than coming down on them for posting something that they mistakenly thought as adequate. First it makes it a friendlier environment, and secondly it helps to increase the quality of the posts.
