At this point I don't really care about the "JJ" comparisons. Anyone who says that and actually believes it has a room temp IQ. The biggest misstep they made that pissed everyone off was the whole money thing. That is something that will never happen here. It isn't unique to JJs to have and actually enforce rules. And actually, they just enforce whatever the fuck they feel like. I don't even know that they have a set of listed rules, they just make it up as they go.Fab1b;1161284 wrote:As soon as you post the the JJ shit is really going to start, the trolls we be out in mass.
What about a different approach? Not a poster be damned type of post but instead share with the community your vision of your site. What you expect this site to be and become and how to achieve that. Yes with rules and enforcement but through the approach of what the site is, can, and will be.

Honestly, I really feel like a lot of the problems are just the crop of idiots we have. A forum I am on that has over 1,000 active members on at a time has absolutely no rules exceptjustincredible;1161295 wrote:At this point I don't really care about the "JJ" comparisons.

1. No autoplay videos
2. No IRL shit (calling people's work etc)
They literally do not have any of these issues.

SVF needs shot in the face, he keeps sending me pms about his infraction. What a lil bitch.
As for your draft...I like it and it needs to be done. Sleeper, SVF and several others are ruining it...I don't even read most threads.

It won't matter what you do.
That's what it comes down to. You can ban and warm and infract. It won't do anything.
We as mods have no authority in their minds. We are just posters with pink names.

I disagree, with a permanent basement ban after 1st warning I think that'll make a difference. I'm also assuming we don't go back on that part.wildcats20;1161417 wrote:It won't matter what you do.

I think you should make this mssg popup one everyone's account, taking up the whole page, until they click that they accept.

That would be a good idea. At least make it so nobody can give the "I'm just doing what I've been doing and now you're being mean!" bullshit that you know will come up sooner or later.LJ;1161445 wrote:I think you should make this mssg popup one everyone's account, taking up the whole page, until they click that they accept.

Yeah, if we actually follow through this won't be too bad

I think what you've posted is good. It lays it out and tells people exactly what is going to happen. The posters who are worth keeping will probably figure it out after the PM. I think we definitely need to make sure we're enforcing for everyone. I try to get on here and actually, but usually it's only 5 minutes and I only read about 2 threads. I will try to make more of an effort to fit you guys into my life lol

It seems what little of it you talked about in the "worst" thread had most people listening and happy we're doing something.
Except sleeper. He needs to die.

Yeah, but even he was on board with the idea, at least at first.

Unrelated, but I am thinking of just buying this theme and slapping it on the site and being done with it.

I think this is a good idea. The problem is that as we roll out and enforce rules, it'll start looking more like JJ. I don't know that there's any easy way around that.Fly4Fun;1161248 wrote:I think it would be ironic.
I still like the idea of Religion and Politics being it's own forum. Both are so hotly contested that if they are allowed in general discussion people will find a way to bring it up in every thread.

We need to get over that "fear". Until we start making bullshit rules up on the fly, it'll never be close, and only the typical mouth breathers will say different.fan_from_texas;1165393 wrote:I think this is a good idea.
