If you want to encourage effortposting, I recommend positive reinforcement. Making rules against"bad" posts will only discourage people from posting altogether, whereas rewarding and recognizing good posts has proven results.

I don't know if you recall, but the period when Gnarly was having weekly posting contests saw the longest continuous string of goldmined threads I've seen in my admittedly short time here. Every week there were two or three amazing sticky threads and a lot of great stuff was happening. Gnarlyhotep gets a lot of poo poo but the numbers don't lie and he oversaw a GBS Renaissance.

The reward doesn't have to be anything big, it can be something as small as an AV change or even just recognition. Creative types love recognition and if you offer it to them they will work themselves to death to get it.

This will, of course require some effort from the mods beyond probating and banning people.

Honestly, you can do that here too. Why don't you spend you humor over here instead of feeding the soulless corporate machine that is Reddit?

Like, old hugbox D&D had this one guy that pretended to be black so that he could pull the race card every time he was losing an argument. How about you try that? Sounds like fun.

No offense, a lot of your stuff is pretty great, I just find myself disagreeing with points you make somewhat often.

You're a cool dude in my book :glomp: and you can gently caress as many horses as you want as far as I'm concerned

It is kind of funny how casually inri posts that, but also a little weird because I've seen him do it in a bunch of threads, and often he responds to every single one of your posts with the same shtick. He's like SA's most specific gimmick ever.

How did INRI find out anyway? Was he hiding behind some haystacks in the barn, or were you at it on your lawn or something as he drove by?

Anyway, I think you're a cool guy and INRI should really stop doxxing you like this.

Maybe I'm just not reading the right threads, but I see good threads get gassed a lot more often because they start out good, then a few pages in turn into a seriouspost slapfight about politics or gamergate or whatever.

The few threads I've seen turn into that and get gassed had people discussing poo poo pretty reasonably, garbage pit was a great thread filled with mostly good posts with the only super obvious exceptions being from flagrantly disingenuous mods and one troon who apparently had a long history of harassing another troon(with textbook-abusive poo poo) because they were open to talking about tranny stuff without throwing up "gender is a social construct" as the sole defence of wanting to be a girl.

GBS swings from the worst place on the internet to really good over the space of a week. It's been cracking over the last few days, imo.

The biggest problem I have is that you can read a thread title and predict what the first 5-6 responses will be. If this could somehow be dealt with, things would be :cool:

Exactly. Just let it flow.


I dunno. Negativity is sort of the core of GBS. And I dunno if it's so much negativity as, again, decompression.

If you want a chill place to be positive and chill, there's BYOB.

GBS is for people who have something pent up inside and need to let it out.

Now, usually what gets pent up inside of people is frustration, anger and dissatisfaction, so when people come to GBS that's what they let out, but creativity can get pent up, too, and that's why you get Atma and SIB posting their amazing CYOAs in here and not in BYOB.

It's a stupid rule imo. Smythe implemented it because, and I quote he "didn't want the bodies piling up on his watch."

Not a single goon has ever killed themselves as a result of someone posting "kill yourself, OP." It's silly.

Now all that being said, it has made possible all the jokes skirting the boundaries of the rule, which are funnier than just telling the OP to kill themself.
