A solution to the "grey area" - crackdown for the best

Listen. Everyone has major butthurts right now about everything. Conversations in threads, spambots, lack of moderation, too much moderation, 4chan shit, pointless threads, etc etc etc. Well there is a solution, and if everyone just agrees to do it for a month or two (amount of time to make/break habits) we can SIGNIFICANTLY change ns.

The solution is cleaning up the grey area. These are the threads/posts that are stupid but don't violate any rules and the members that push the limit but don't break anything. What do we do with this stuff? Delete it. You complain about 4chan being a cesspool? guess what, it runs better than NSG at times because they actually moderate it, and clean up the shitty "grey area" and leave stuff worth leaving. A thread looses focus? deleted. Conversation starts up that is dumb? deleted. It's not hard to do, and if everyone realizes that it's going on shit will start to shape up. It's not that hard to do here, in fact its easier than having to determine what's grey or not. If it draws a question, its out of here. Trust me, it works.

I agree. Productive threads go to shit after a couple posts.

I would say instead of increasing the number of mods just post in the Donator's forum. This isn't fool proof but most of the people that still care about this site are donators, and it's only $5 for the minimum status. People that want to contribute would usually be willing to pay the $5. The people that troll and make the retarded threads that clutter SG and NSG wouldn't bother paying. This might not work very well but most of the people I see complaining about worthless posts are donators, if there was a SG section for Donators or something like that, it would mean less clutter...just an idea, not a great one but it's an idea.

if by solution you mean speeding up the destruction of this site, then yes you guys should all be mods.

Is that a subtle Jim Lahey reference?  Because Jim Lahey would be a good mod, when he's not drunk.

Seriously, that is a great fucking idea.  Make it like Norway where everyone has to join the Norwegian Military for a year.  Everyone would have to serve as a mod for a year.  You pull up NS one day, your name is green and you receive a how to crash course on what to do.  If you don't do your job, you get perma-banned.  Think of how awesome the site would be if everyone had mod experience.

This would lead to all out war on NS. Thread deletion would become rapant, members would be getting banned all the time. Not everyone deserves the experiance of being a mod.
