<div class="bbWrapper">Reading a lot of great suggestions already!<br />
<br />
I do not have any ground breaking ideas or suggestions (I have been thinking about it actually for a while, since I was a bit annoyed by the "how do I whipe my butt" - type of topics. But didn't know what WOULD attribute).<br />
<i><br />
About the insiders:</i> I truly hope for every serious persons sake out there, it will NOT be turned into a "by invite from insiders" or such, only. If that would be the case, I think many would never make it there and that would just be a shame. Also, I feel the insiders sections is actually really good with great topics and threads.<br />
<br />
T<i>he "how do I wipe" </i>- kind of topics.<br />
I understand everyone is new. Hell, I am even still a hardcore newbie on this forum. And I can't express how god darn grateful I am for having have found it. And when I just read my intro thread, I am already thinking "holy shit how naieve, and how I really did NOT understand what I was talking about". (disclaimer: not claiming I understand the world now, just much I have learned in this short time span.) But give a consequence to these type.<br />
<br />
Can't we not do a kind of example test on moral rules here? I would love to help make one. Example:<br />
1. After signing up, and mods approving your form; a short instruction. Hey you! We know you are new, but we would like you to read these few short steps carefully so we make sure the forum remains a great place with a healthy attitude. (and make it so you can not go through it before actually having have read it. And maybe even make a short quiz of it? I'm just throwing it out there, cause making it to much like terms and agreements; well, lets just say we all "check" that box.<br />
Or maybe just a virtual tour? Either on youtube video or other different medium?<br />
"Hello there newbie, how great you have found this forum! Now let's show you where you can find what"<br />
<br />
Or at introduction, the "where to start when you're new" Golden threads.<br />
<br />
I shall ponder on this more, since I have found myself way too many times guilty of login in, seeing some bad feelings threads on the main page, sighing and log out straight away.<br />
<br />
<b>Edit:</b><br />
<br />
Post scriptum: may I add, that I have mad respect for moderators? I know we only see a tiny bit of whats going on there, but I take of my imaginary hat for you all for having to deal with it and keeping it a safe and nice environment.<br />
