imo its not about growth but people who decide to stay here do so because they like it and since they like it they will be content. So the people that need to be pleased are the ones that are on the server and they are pleased because they wouldnt be there otherwise. New members would perhaps dislike the climate and leave, in which case nothing of value was lost since they hadnt contributed to what makes users like the server or they stay and become one with the established culture
and you can always invite people if you want, they will be tested and compared to the current culture dynamically
not because rules hammer something into a perceived idea but because the actual behaviour creates unspoken rules, i.e. culture
its basically the free market principle applied to chatrooms
and the free market works great at what it does
We've had unspoken rules and we decided to get actual rules at some point and that's how it always was since that
Because unspoken rules are even way more contentious
I am not against having a few written rules at all
its just about the general approach to moderation
And there is more drama and arguments
How do you justify banning someone if there are unspoken rules it just seems outright arbitrary
I dont think drama is bad, long term
is it arbitrary to the people who came up with it?
no of course not
there is no need to conform to outside forces
this isnt real life after all
A few guys will be content with it and that's all the rest wont even know what they were punished for and it creates a huge barrier to the new ones this place is not mentioned to be a buddy server with an unspoken culture such places are almost impossible for an outsider to get into and integrate
exactly
thats the point
and its beautiful
I think thats not necessary
because the vast majority of people here are inactive
those that are active are because of the system I described
its the "throw shit at wall and see what sticks" approach
and it works

btw. I think banning is nod needed entirely. Only thing that need to be used is guag of some sort (exclusion ) and that sufficient in almost every case (except illegal things)
I heard complaints against juan, tarzan and uber shitposting. And this capn shit.
So ye as ghoul said if it was up to me they would be banned cus they never listen to warnings and quality poster left because of them. And I'd rather have at least one of them back than have you all here. And creating this new server only to post nsfw on general channels is very childish imo.
kek thats not the reason
Well all that happened when I came there
naked dude and shit talking me cus cap is too much of a pussy to do it here.
if he abuses me one more time I'm muting him for 24h
then I'll ban him cus he doesn't ever listen and he has no contribution to this server
Just ban immediately, it'll never stop
About the icon there can only be voting if there are any candidates submitted and accepted, so don't complain that earth-chan doesnt go away, it's because there's nothing to replace.
ye i cant really find anything to submit either
I submit this
