cB performance Options

[Tung]

Should we have a pinned topic thread like Moderator Performance, where we just discuss the current state of cB and what we can do as a community to improve it?

the community has a shitty negative attitude that feeds off drama and discourages new people from being able to join in. if you aren't in the circle is hard to get into it. so people get tired of their posts being ignored and end up leaving.

the mods aren't responsible for that. that's not to say that they don't contribute, but they aren't the lone reason. so we can critique the mods all day but they are only a small part of the problem. i think a thread or multiple threads to discuss the community is what we need. the community needs to discuss itself. it's a good idea, we should do it.

we need more more quality threads with real content. we need more threads that let everyone join in, not just the hand full of us that know each other.

the community needs to fix itself, not the mods fix the community. that's never going to work.

Yeah, really. We (the moderators) can only do so much to try to help CreateBlog if it's the members who have bad attitudes that contribute to the unpleasant forum environment. If certain members are being mean on purpose, then what are we supposed to do? We can warn/punish them, sure, but it's probably not going to change the members' attitudes unless the members themselves make a conscious effort to be more considerate and welcoming.

BAN! BAN! BAN! Daily bans, weekly bans, monthly bans, and perma bans.

Warnings shouldn't even exist -.-
Why do you think I laugh when you guys verbally warn me? All you're doin is adding a percentage and a new lil blue square underneath my avatar at MOST. =\


Yeah but pandora.. I'm just one person, sure I get hell bent about morality but damn... you have people makin even worst posts than I ever had. "Cartoon porn"... 'Pedo-bear" "nipple pictures" the list goes on...

Also I find it quite sad that this forum doesn't want people promoting religion yet you allow promoting and glorifyin of atheism

Yeah, because what we REALLY need is a bunch of people angry and bitter about being banned for something small returning from their bans every week and talking about how the place is hella strict an no fun.

We're trying to BUILD a community, not kill off the members one by one.

You're doin it by not changin the attitudes of some of these members. You ban someone, it should teach them a lesson not to do it again. That's the point of consequences... to learn from them =\

Yes, it should. However, it has proven not to.

And we, LEARNING FROM THE CONSEQUENCE OF THAT, are trying something new.

You're idea will not work. It never has, and there is no particular reason to suggest it ever will.

That's funny I can give you a link to a forumboard and you'll see a whole different perspective. Instead of givin someone a one day ban, then they break the rules again and they get another 1 day ban.. you should then proceed to give them a 1 week ban. But whatever you say, you're the superior, I'm nothin but a useless/brainless pawn.

At the same Tama, you could just NOT do whatever it is that is getting you these warnings. Wouldn't that be a lot easier on both ends? Like I said, you're just as responsible as the mods are.

Well good thing I've been doin my part.. haven't received a warning of any sort for the last uh what?... 2 months maybe?, not sure.
