  I'm going to suggest some reform for your format here. Because this is just terrible.
  
  1) Do not just copy the entire trello and paste it here. Put a link to the trello in your opening post then talk ABOUT the Trello.
  
  If people want to see exactly the contents of the trello, they can follow the link. Think of your summary of just some of the trello as being a sort of short advertising blurb to encourage people to go read the full thing.
  
  2) X Developer left Y issue isn't a thing anyone needs to see on your summarized highlights reel.
  
  Ideally stick to "moved to done". If you cannot restrain your enthusiasm or it really is a super exciting thing then maybe include "moved to doing", if it is a surprising new feature then even a sudden appearance as "to do" or "backlog" MIGHT count as worth mentioning. But minor work flow changes aren't interesting. People who care about internal project arcana can read the trello, everyone else only cares about whats NEW and SOON.
  
  3) Summarize more.
  
  Of the 21 points in your initial post not only are several of them uninteresting. But more than half of them are just "More LoD work completed". Now I'm not sure how interesting yet another consecutive day of more LoD work really is. It's certainly important and significant progress, not that everyone will care or that we really need another day of "yep, still doing that". But what I am sure of is that you could collapse all 12 "more Lods" entries into one line saying "Yay! More LoD Work!" with as many exclamation marks as you like.
  
  A thread like this could be really useful as an accessible way for the community to see some actual highlights from the trello. But it's utterly useless if it's just a copy paste of the trello.

  My opinion is if people want to see what's on the trello, they can just go to the trello page themselves.

  They certainly CAN. That doesn't make it bad to discuss the goings-on there. Re-posting it here in full does seem unnecessary though.

  Bugger it, then; I won't do these anymore. Will the mods ever implement a damn system that allows creator(s) of threads to delete them, please?

  Probably for the best because, honestly, you're bringing nothing new with your posts - you're just pointlessly spamming the forum with copy-paste threads, while anyone interested in the info is subscribed to trello anyway and gets the very same updates to their email.

  It depends on the update. The info about LoDs and other boring information doesn't need to be posted. Sure it is important, but it doesn't have the same impact as new zones, new creatures, and new technology. If it is cool like the Scanner Room or Thermal Plant or controversial like the changes to air tanks, then it should be posted, but should be ignored if it doesn't fall under that criteria. If people want to read a bunch of entries on LoDs, then they can go to Trello.

  Exactly. There's nothing wrong with "HEY LOOK AT THIS COOL STUFF I SAW ON TRELLO!", but not everything there is cool.
