I think what I am trying to say is that the way this forum FEELS, makes it extremely unappealing for real, NEW members to become involved. It's almost as if you have to "prove" yourself because there is such a pandemic of fake shitposters. But the shitposters are allowed to continue being shitposters. Things seem to only be modified to make it HARDER for real people to become "worthy" of being considered valid (so to speak).
The common denominator is the same though. Greed. So if you are going to fight an enemy as difficult as greed, you have to be militant about it.
Sorry if that comes across rude, I'm not trying to be. I just see that you guys seem to really care about your forum, but it has a cancer. And rather than just grabbing a scalpel and cutting it out, it's like every holistic therapy is being tried first.
Just imagine the amount of quality that may show up if people knew that it wasn't going to be washed over by a sea of bullshit.
Just my 1 cent. (I had to pay the other one in gas to send this message

JK)
