While keeping the more serious stuff else where.
Thoughts?

Hi Eric,
Good idea - please try it.

If you notice 90% of the fake nicks around here are spewing far right wing none sense. They will continue to do so in the main forum as they wont care if their fake nicks get banned..

Also a good idea. Eric it's no secret that a few people here have multiple accounts. Controlling this would make business threads more interesting , the new political thread more relevant. Please consider Crocket's request. Letting multi-account idiots boost their own threads by pretending to be someone else severs no one.

Of course it can. First, a political thread will draw attention by itself. Anyone posting opinions in other threads just won't get the eyeballs they want.

Really? Vendzilla used to be a mod? Tell me you'll never do that again. The day that asshole MODS this place is the day I exit and never come back.

The VBulletin software has a function that lets the webmaster move messages from one thread to another. Hopefully Eric can take a few minutes to moderate GFY this way. A warning to ban the user if he does it again should be enough to control things.

My bet is that section will be just as much as a ghost town as the mainstream section is and just like every other industry specific related forum is online. .

Eric, Maybe OnWebCam's is idea is a good idea too. If you went this route, the only thing I might suggest is that the new "Adult business" section be at the very top of the list so it receives more clicks. Just a suggestion.

The negative tone throughout has been amplified to the point that it is difficult to read any threads without encountering hate.
I am not sure how you combat that without just straight censorship and I really do not like censorship.
So, I am not sure of what the best thing to do is.

Also a good point. I for one would like to see the Hate speech on GFY result in banned users. There might have been a few jokes back in the day, but now the hate on GFY is better suited for Stormfront.
