The policy to not remove anything worked when the forum was small. Now that we have thousands of posts a day, we can't afford 50% of them being junk. The moderators are now instructed to be less tolerant of low-value posts.

Some guidelines:

1. Free speech - you can say anything as long as it is relevant and presented in a calm and polite manner. Swearing, SHOUTING etc. make your post more likely to be removed.
2. No zero value posts or threads, like "SELL SELL SELL"
3. No pointless or uninteresting threads.
4. No referral code spam
5. No NSFW content

How difficult would it be to implement a voting system for posts using the current forum software?

i agree with you it is difficult would it be to implement a voting system for posts using the current forum software?

this is difficult would it be to implement a voting system for posts using the current forum software.

By the "voting system" that you all are talking about, am I correct in assuming that it is a voting system to automatically remove a thread? That would be a great addition to easily reduce the junk threads in the forum like those random-generated usernames that posts with junk.

No voting system would work because multiple accounts are allowed and 'brigading' would follow, leading to neverending disputes. Basic junk is handled ok presently. Signature campaigns create most of the worthless posts problem imo.
