I'm sure everybody else here is painfully aware of what I'm talking about. Then again, the people who would relate the strongest have all but left by now . . .

Seeing as how there's basically no moderation in this forum at all, we should set about figuring out for ourselves what we want out of this section. Obviously playing it by ear isn't working --- so yeah, let's get some discussion started. What's the ideal state of TSB to you guys? How can we, as everyday posters, improve the section, and how can we encourage more good contribution and discussion? Seems like things have been in the pits for a long time now.

how about we get a mod to suspend every time someone starts arguing semantics, or uses a logical fallacy.

^ that's stupid and unnecessary, not to mention completely impractical.


mcdanger, my bad on locking this one...i locked it on the grounds that there's already a thread somewhat along these lines in the feedback forum, but then i re-read and realized that this thread is more about fixing this forum from the inside-out rather than by top-down moderation.

i don't know if it'll work, but i wholeheartedly support the idea.

as i can't unlock a thread, feel free to remake this or take the discussion to joe_schmoe's thread in FF.
