@Capttripppp You’re good man. You seem to be a force for good around here.

I do enjoy sh*tposting with @moveweight when someone is blatantly breaking the rules.

WOW! Thanks! I wouldn’t have thought, but I try to contribute even though my depth of knowledge isn’t as deep, and my experiences aren’t as varied. Thanks again! You’re pretty awesome yourself, and I thank whatever powers that be daily for having had found this place, and all of you people!

Yeah, i think that would work well. Like have a section for level 2 and over. And if you get too many flags you get sent back to level 0, lose access, and have to work your way back up with good behavior.

But that would essentially close the source to people who dont wish to login. Would also remove a lot of seo. Catch 22. Readers who don’t comment get unnecessary consequences in this thought process.

How about a good life gang forum? Don’t you have a sub forum for that stuff? Can’t please everyone so no matter what damned if you do damned if you don’t.

Like the Toking lounge is for regulars

It doesn’t affect those people at all since the entire forum will still be readable, only commenting will be limited by TL

And we already have a private GLG forum.

Figured. I misinterpreted what the rankings would do for visibility. Thanks.

I posted this the other day in one of killa/spdkings shit fights

I think the community is important, but keeping the bullshit separate seems necessary unless we just want to circlejerk constantly

I haven’t been a member of the forum for long enough to have much of a say so in anything… so I won’t. What I will say is when I first joined back in July I was really excited and grateful to have found a spot for good intelligent conversation with experienced people. It seems that things really went downhill since then. I was more than a bit surprised at some of the participants involved with the chit slinging and definitely downgraded my level of respect for them… it is a shame that management didn’t downgrade the level access also. Still huge amounts of information can be found, maybe you guys will find a way to TOS the riff raff bullchit

Maybe change the mantra from “level up together” to “level up privately in the dm’s under ndanca”… It is a great platform & there is is a ton of good info here and great people but damn…

That’s the mantra of the GLG. Not the forum. Although I know of a couple hundred people at least that have leveled up via the community here, for free

That makes more sense I suppose.

If you wanna do the opposite, where it’s publicly commentable but stricter standards I’ll be a janitor

Meaning the class restricted section

Maybe a whitelist of approved submitters and everyone else pending moderation based off guidelines?

I’m just imagening a scenario where the answer to a problem lies with someone outside the select few

We already operate a community moderated forum. That’s what the flags are for

And the community already elected janitors within itself to handle flags

Just start charging people to use the private forums so you can sensor it how you like

37

It’s free and we censor it how we like, which is basically nil.

Are you suggesting we should censor more?

I honestly think the forum is fine. Unless you are new to the internet you just learn to read through the bs quickly and focus on the gems which they are lots of around here.

I think this might be the first time a huge number of members here are interacting with an Internet community outside of the safe space modern social media platforms have become

As much as I wanna hate and say people are exploiting the system I more than understand why it goes down in the DM.

A comment with a case study could be there proving something wrong and the majority will like the latter cause who said it. Not to mention the amount of people who answer the forum not with relevant case studies but the first thing they google. If you havnt operated the machinery you are recommending or extensively studied what your preaching just don’t :man_shrugging::v:.
