Everywhere who cares about the forum, comes and says that theymos doesn't do this or that: Just imagine for an admin, who's given an unasked responsibility , who hardly has time, has trust issues for various reasons,and other things comes to his forum to read what's going on and all he sees is: theymos said this or that,and on top of that complaining about it, its just too much handle for one fucking person.

Sorry, iasenko - you've done some excellent work here and I appreciate your motivation to, "be the change you wish to see in the world," to use a tired old cliche, but I have to agree with pugman on this. Any change that requires more time from theymos is likely not going to fly. Any change that reduces forum traffic also seems unlikely to pass muster, even though I mostly agree with hilariousandco/etc's suggestion to do away with signatures for newbies and Jr members (I'd merely get rid of sigs for newbies and allow Jr.'s to have what is currently allowed for newbies - something like 50 characters of unformatted text or whatever it is).
That said, I like reporting shitposts, spam and plagiarism, even though my 220+ reports and counting are metaphorically equivalent to trying to put out a raging inferno with a garden hose. I think many of us who report posts do it for the therapeutic value, and not just for the good of the forum (and that, btw, is the key to making effective incentive structures...).
