My suggestion for next poll is that posters shouldn't be able to hide behind so-called "comedic intent" when they post something offensive to me or off-topic.

Doesn't seem productive to revitalize a dead forum by pushing more people out but I never thought the management was very bright here. Voted 1.

I'm pretty good with GBS as is. It's somewhat like the old version, only back then there weren't a gazillion other forums to satisfy your posting needs. At some point General Bullshit got the General stripped out, now it's only Bullshit.

E: I'm fine with bullshitting, it's how I live my life. :ssh:

I don't think you should do Rhyme Week, because I would win it and I'm not evena GBS poster.

That's the suggestion I like best so far :)

I voted for no new rules this week; gbs is ok right now. I came up with the idea for this poll back when gbs was a lot worse (even earlier than the date on the op) and these poll options are admittedly dumb ideas more relevant to back then, but they're still ok for testing the concept I hope (since "no new rules" is always an option). The gbs mods and I still liked the idea though, so, worth a try. I think/hope next week we will have user-submitted options better than these, and if the whole project ultimately sucks, oh well.

"any level of irony" includes the unironic level of 0 irony. Don't vote for that one, it's dumb.

PS cuck can go to hell, but i'm gay forever.

PPS I still thing there should be some kind of mechanism to forcibly pull threads from the other forums into GBS.
