Mock needs is a few tweaks and revisions and add-ons to it's infostructure and she and her members, (barring a few Bolshevik, tyrants trying to keep the forum under their thumbs) should run smoother and happier, as there will be a more fluent running system, with a far greater variety of topics to reply to without getting bogged down by spam and in-fighting.


Start by having a section set up where Flaming other members is not tolerated.

Set it up for general and serious discussion, forum games, mocking the world and lifes issues not the sites members.
This is where your mods can actually do their job. Can you set an option on the site to "pink people" placing them on limited posting / limited options and rights, when members find a need to breech the rules by coming into the general discussion thread to flame people or spam?
This creates a section of your site that can entice people to participant and post their views without the topics getting side tracked by let's say.....Lumpy and Ramsey upchucking their lack of love for each other. That's saved for the rest of the site. You will find that you will gain members that enjoy mocking and ranting about life and the world around them or maybe even a bit of debate without making it personal, with other members, and would still enjoy being a member and hang out a great deal in the general discussion forum, adding to the site.




Borndragon ~ Seriously, try this and see if the site can't prosper from it.

This idea was brought up and considered in the recent past, and shot down by me ... but I will look at it and consider it again.

What, if I may ask, are the cons you see against it?
