nah, thatd be excellent, hey, can we have a section of the cesspool given to PM, but only for like 5 minutes before everyone gets pisse* off.
But it would be a nice experience. I imagine a vast muslim ruled propaganda thread where every post that does no align with the opinion of PM would get deleted. It would be fun to watch how they post grand and colourful passages taken from scriptures at each other. After some time they will surely get bored because no one would care and take notice about them. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
thered be nothing in them except PM's rebuttals to posts that have been deleted by him. hed just look a fool, and be effectivley talking to himself.
Nah, people like stacy would also be able to post in there without getting deleted. Alas there are rumors that PM and stacy are the same person Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Just rumors, mind.
Just some muslim user, you will most likely find posts in PM´s threads. If you really care look here for example.
I like the Karma idea. On other forums, it cuts down on useless crap that surfaces. THere are many ways to do that. After thinking about it, individual moderating now sounds like a bad idea. I think there should be more active moderators though and there could be more than one mod per thread.
http://slashdot.org/faq/com-mod.shtml#cm700 Slash dot uses karma as a means of moderation and credibility.... I'm not suggesting that sciforums adopt it exactly, but it seems that vBulletin has some built in "karma-like" qualities. I suspect that's what the little green square in the profile is related to. The earlier version of vBulletin used to have a "rate this post" option that added some sort of points to the member. Perhaps the newer version has something similar but not activated. ahh... it was just a rambling thought Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
http://forums.tabcrawler.com/ This forum has "quality points", so that if you put quality posts most of the time, people will know.
I would like to see a Literature - Fiction and Literature - Non-Fiction forums to discuss books and the ideas within them. I read a tremendous amount and it would be nice to discuss my findings and opinions on those books with others.
A forum about books? That would not be so bad either. Now that you mention it, there are really not many books discussed anywhere on this board. I only saw some threads in Art and culture. But then again there are many different kind of books, about philosophy, science, history and so on. Perhaps threads should be started in those forums then. But I think I would support a book section.
It could actually be neat. We could choose a book to read, and then give people a few weeks to read it and then discuss it. Could even do science, history and philosophical texts. Like a summer reading list. I think it's worth a try.
