RR2 for instance could be promoted and at the same time might deserve a little more moderation.




No one wants for this to happen. 

In regards to the other ideas offered up in this thread, some are good and some are less than good.  For instance, I'm not sure that access restrictions on The Pub is the way to do it.  Like it or not, The Pub is a big draw here, in terms of acquiring new members and keeping them.  So many intro threads mention "I've lurked the pub for ages, finally decided to join..."  I think the 30 day/100 post restriction would dissuade a portion of people from joining.  There were once similar restrictions on OTD, but they were scrapped before too long.

Also, I don't think the community forums should be hidden unless registered.  These forums display the radiant diversity of the Shroomery, and are the main reason so many posters join.  I notice that most of the users in this thread so far are cult guys (I'm guessing someone linked this thread in a place that's high-visibility to culters), so they may not be aware of this, but TONS of members here have no interest whatsoever in mushrooms.  Zip.  These people come to just chat about life, art, events, etc.  Not showing unregistered people that this site has so much to offer would be a big mistake. 

I agree that in The Pub, loads of threads would be better served in their proper forums.  The Pub is a place for laid back, chill discussion, per the description.  So why keep a high tensity, emotional rage debate about gun control in there when we've got forums that would better suit that topic?  Put the hot-button transsexual debates in the Sexuality & Relationships forum, etc.  Prisoner #1 does a fine job moving all conspiracy threads into their respective forum, I don't see why more of that isn't happening.

I agree with Vinsue's main points that the rules are in place, they might be enforced more, if it's truly negativity and disrespect that are bothering people.  And yes, rule 4.  I think if these rules were utilized more, there would be a rash of bannings at first, but folks would quickly learn to either conform or they would find a more suitable forum to post in, such as Romper Room V2 (which has been fairly successful in providing the lax rules environment while keeping it contained).  RR v2 is also not accessible to the public, so like OTD, it's not going to scare off potential registrants. 

It may also be worth noting that people have been complaining about the downfall of The Shroomery for at least 12 years now, yet the site continues to grow.  People remember the good stuff and forget that there were ALWAYS shitbirds, ornery noobs, and shitposts.  There have always been troublemakers.  In some ways, I don't think the site has really changed all that much, except that everything is magnified and more abundant.  Both the good and the bad.  So I know it's an unpopular opinion so far in this thread, but maybe Shroomery doesn't need a drastic overhaul, but rather just a slight sprucing up in a few detailed areas. 

I suspect I had other points to address, but I'm not thinking of them now.

I guess it is just a feeling i would get? Just reading post and exploring the difrent areas of the site. Definetly can't put names with posts that were contributing to theses negative vibes. It's been awhile and in hind sight(?) it most likely was my noob,lost in a foreign enviornment defensive mechanism. I can remember being overwelmd buy the amount of info i was receiving just by following threads. I mainly just read along with the difren't topics so it was just a feeling i was getting as nothing was ever directed towards me.  No matter what i think, i know thiere is a wealth of information that a person can't get anywere else in one package like they do here. Ive dug this site since day one. Thank you all. I Mean that.
