The more the community team ignores the EN OF, the more it festers. The more it festers, the less anyone wants to do anything with it. It's like cleaning your room daily vs cleaning your room once per year--perhaps the work is similar cumulatively, but spreading it out over time makes it less effort overall. Especially when after a year grime gets into places.

If there's a problem with the way users interact, community managers should enforce against it. If EN users are too boisterous, loud, obnoxious, trolly, working too hard to mini-mod, spamming posts or threads...the EN community team and moderation staff should work to fix it. If that's not what they're paid to do, and the EN OF was meant to be left like this, well...

This is literally what they're asking for.
