Hello GBS posters. Let's make GBS better. To start with, here are some ideas for changes to this forum. Whichever one gets the most votes will go into effect for a week, and then I will post another poll like this, giving you the choice whether to continue that change for another week, and what new rule change (if any) to make as well. Vote for as many as you like, but only the one with the most votes will happen. Note: since the rule will be temporary, any punishments for violating it will not exceed the week either (if a punishment is even involved).

This poll will remain open for 48 hours. The thread will stay open so you can suggest ideas for next week's poll; these are just some starter ideas I came up with but "no new rules, keep GBS the same" will be an option every week, as well as the option to continue or retire last week's rule.

By participating in this poll you do solemnly affirm that you love GBS and want to marry it.

I will marry GBS. GBS I love u & want to share my life w/ u.

So gas chamber challenge is some body posts :gas: in the first page or w/e and if the thread doesn't get gassed the poster gets probe/ban? Good cause like 50% of threads seem like that's the entire page sometimes

To be honest, I think GBS is doing quite well at the moment. If it gets really shittied up tho in the future then more rules might be appropriate. Right now, I think it's doing reasonably ok.

yeah I can agree with that. It could be a lot better but i'm having trouble visualizing how. like I can't come up with anything concrete here. some way to encourage people to post... better? Post more actual things? Dunno this is like asking a chimp how to improve shakespears or something

I mean, a beatface and zombie babies and all that poo poo doesn't really grow on trees, but I kind of remember a few monumental threads from around when I first signed up that seem to have been missing for a while. Like pre-GBS1.0 had a few things that are missing now but I can't pin it down. Im not articulate.

When was the dragon dong thing? That was actually 1.0 era wasn't it?

I think that the optional vote rules should be funny rules, and not real rules.

the white man is the devil. he reproduces via incest. the white woman lays their eggs in a nest made of bible pages and tax forms, held together by miracle whip. when the whitelings hatch the white devil parents consume the placenta and engage in an incestuous and paedophelic satan worship ritual. this ensures that the spawn of these whites has no soul.

Every post in GBS this week should require a compliment directed at Ralp, muttered under your breath in the same way that North Koreans say nice things about Dear Leader, or like when you tell your boss he's a great guy.

We just need a scheme to make SA hip and relevant again...oh wait that'd be terrible.

I'm not really in favor of any of the choices on the poll. They don't make the idea of the new GBS better. Even long lasting poo poo like "im gay" and "cuck" are stupid trends that die out.

My only suggestion for the many people complaining about the ridiculousness of new GBS is to make a subforum with all of the old 1.0 rules, and one additional rule: NO NEWS ARTICLE THREADS

Don't make threads that are just a link to a news story with an edgy sentence after it. Every week there can be one thread for news story headlines that people can can copy paste their link to. If it's big enough of a story and it takes up too much of the conversation in the poo poo news dump and you ask a mod then you can make a separate thread.

Otherwise we don't need to know every time a person gets killed by a dog.
