What you're saying won't work though. People are heavily opposed to their threads being moved to different forums if they feel they can have their discussion elsewhere. They "make themselves at home" in certain parts of the forum. That is why the college sub-forum in HL collapsed, people would get upset when their threads would get moved from TLR to there and it had low traffic. At the end of the day, people on here want to do whatever they want and they don't want there to be ANY rules as much as they claim they do. They only want rules when they get personally annoyed or offended. If anything we do looks random it is because we are responding on an ad hoc basis as opposed to a wholesale policy because as soon as that happens we get called "repressive" or acting like the seum. In actuality, we probably don't do anything about 98% of reported posts.
TLR is supposed to be the general discussion forum. JBO is supposed to be where the fukkery is but when we move threads there...people complain that we sent them there to die. But we didn't make that place dead, the forum members did. Basically, no matter how you design the board, it will eventually become the way it is again unless we form some sort of consensus. Now I don't post all that much in TLR, so I can't speak to what this "crisis" is but it could probably be easily averted if people were susceptible to actually using the current sub-forums as they are designed instead of setting up shop in certain areas.
