HL really needs a couple things:
1. Limit the amount of threads on the exact same topics from the exact same posters. This mainly applies to nap and his numerous crusades against whatever issue is tickling his 'tism that month but other offenders as well. We didn't need 2-3 threads for everytime trump tweeted(and we won't even when he's president). Early on we had a general fukkery thread for trump and eventually we had a consolidated Bernie thread, those were and are good ideas.
2. Blatant trolling needs to go away. Yeah we all enjoy 88 and kingsmen posting crazy stories about stuffed animals shooting their fathers but threads that clearly exist just to inspire a reaction on local news items are a waste of time.
3. Really gotta ban shytposting nazis when they pop up. You can articulate a right wing, even a strong nationalist view point without bringing redditt here.
@Scoop and
@theworldismine13 are good posters despite having absolute shyt politics and they contribute to the forum in a positive way.
4. I really think it's time we put nap himself out to pasture. Half this subforum is people making fun of him and it limits discussion on everything. It sucks up oxygen.
5. Encourage more non politics posting. TLR occupies space that this forum should on things like cultural discussion and science. This also leads back into Us Not needing 10 threads on whatever's the 4th story on politico today
I feel like these are the core of how to improve HL. I'd volunteer but my various beefs(which, full disclosure, are also part of the problem) probably cloud my judgement or atleast would give the appearance of clouding my judgement.
@DEAD7 isnt a bad choice but I think he's too laid back to take these steps. Also I'm sure he doesn't want 30 negative reviews on yelp the day after he bans nap.
We don't need a player's coach is what I'm saying here I guess
