How can we make Comics General a better place for those here and new members?

1,807 posts in this topic

Institute a probationary period before people are allowed to start threads, have sales, etc. Make sure people are not just here to cause trouble by proving they are participating in the forum successfully over a period of time or a number of posts.

 

Likewise, before they can post images or links they should prove over time they are here to participate and not cause trouble. A link in a sales thread the other day went to a tumblr site full of vag pics. Nothing against vag pics but this isn't the place for them.

 

Get more mods so that things are more evenly patrolled and make sure that disciplinary actions are evenly distributed and that the rules are clear and the punishments severe enough to actually discourage bad behavior.

 

Eliminate competition for getting threads closed due to bad behavior. Things escalate quickly and people get silly in hopes of scoring points when a thread is locked. This seems counter to the spirit of the forum as a game has been made out of making things spiral out of control.

1. More moderator participation to keep things in check -- surprised how little moderator participation there is compared to other sites with much less traffic.

 

2. Limit or regulate the use of the quote function which sometimes can take up half pages or more of threads, making it a pain to navigate through a thread or, at the very least, interrupts the flow of productive discussion.

 

3. Signatures in some cases are a bit too much and take up too much of a page. See item 2 above.

Take all the people who participate in the locked thread challenge and prohibit them from posting in General.

 

Problem solved.

Less poop and ejaculation references in thread titles, and less freakin videos in sig lines of people getting hurt.
