Can you all chat with the brownells peeps and see if maybe a new rule of no making threads till you have been here for a year or made 500 posts.

It would seriously cut down on the clickbait bullshit threads and the spam.

Maybe something like 1 year or 500 posts to make a GD thread.

Maybe 30 days/50 posts to make a tech forum post.

Make it so they need to interact with the community before the diarrhea of the keyboard to make new threads.

Also please consider removing DoggoDaddies ability to create threads in general.

Thank you, all of GD.

Yes. More rules are needed. I too have preferences that should be enforced on everyone. Because freedom.

Curtailing the freedom of someone you don't care for sounds about right for GD. Soon it will be because they didn't use the approved pronouns.

Everyday we stray farther.

Goatboy doesn't need Brownells approval for anything related to how this site is run.

This subject has been discussed many times. Ain't gonna happen.

Lol how dare people discuss generally in general discussions

BTW some of the dumbest threads I see in GD are started by people who have been here for years. Maybe the internet is just not for you my friend

why would I ever join a forum where I can't post and ask questions?
You are a "forum-killer". Don't ever go into forum ownership, unless you can buy Reddit.

This thread will not go as OP planned.

The new members keep this place afloat.

The old schoolers have all been banned, beaten down into silence or fled the scene.

Yep Not all threads do. oh well. I am on a few other forums where it is actually a requirement. Especially for access to the sales areas (EE).

Control called for by those who wish to complain about controlling people. Jesus we have come full circle in this crazy world.

I work for a company of about 1500 employees. So far, I have only seen one employee with pronouns in their email signature. Up until recently was one of my direct reports, and is a fantastic employee and person overall. Leaves me scratching my head, for sure.
