Who started this elitist crap? I said everybody from newbie up, and I also suggested a method for non-English speakers to contribute. At the moment the only place they can do this is in Fit to Talk. This would bring the capability back to Bitcoin Talk.
It would be more democratic than any other board, and with 12 (say) legendaries, there could even be a type of appeal process.
Not wanting listen to rubbish topics that one left behind in the kindergarten isn't elitist imho.
Topic: The clubroom - another radical idea from Jet Cash - page 2. (Read 509 times)
I just want somewhere where one can have sensible and mature discussions, and not have the threads and topics swamped with spam, kindergarten threads and petty bickering.
This is Bitcointalk, not Elitismtalk.
So, only elites are able to have sensible and mature discussions, without kindergarten threads?
I don't know if you are saying that only rich people are mature and not in kindergarten anymore, or if that's a different elite.
Either way, I think jet Cash elitist board is already going on ivory tower and on technical discussion boards
Why is it elitist? Serious discussion and Ivory Tower are far more elitist.
I think the mods have a difficult job and are overloaded. They appear to be making hasty decisions, and not to have guidelines or an agreement about many general rulings.

This is Bitcointalk, not Elitismtalk. Just use the ivory tower or serious discussion for this, both are pretty dead at the moment and serve this purpose.
On a side note, you're pretty much implying the current mods suck at their jobs by suggesting this.

I don't think the legendaries should be paid. If the board is likely to be swamped, then one may have to look at some sort of membership criteria. If the posters can be restricted to responsible members, then it should be largely self-moderating.
I really threw the idea open in the hope that we could create such an area. Of course, it may be that an existing board such as the Bitcoin discussion could be converted to this concept.

I think the idea could pretty much be accomplished in a single thread, kind of like what the Wall Observer does, except with additional moderators (somehow). Probably should put it in a place where sigs aren't allowed because I admit it does become distracting and a reason for people to post utterly meaningless comments. Then of course, people would have to know how to find it...
That also then can't be done in a single thread...
Sd and it are Jr and mem+ but its own board is probably a better way of doing things anyway..

@alone, it's 2 hours a day for each...
I can see what jet cash is talking about though with a lot of the wingeing. It's as if he wants a meta full of useful discussions rather that "infographic", "merit", "I'm banned for plagiarism but I only did it 47 times".

Let me approach this from another angle. How exactly would this new board solve the issues that you mention in the OP - moderation, spam, personal attacks, etc? Just via stricter moderation? Extra rules (no insults etc)?
Most of the possible topics are already reasonably well covered in the existing boards. This is a bit of an issue with SD/IT boards already. So not sure if the new board (code name JC) would get that much traffic unless it manages to suck it out of the other boards.
Will those 12 legendary members be hired as full-time moderators for that board? Sounds like a lot of workload considering the number of members we have on the forum and assuming by that the traffic this new board is going to get. It wouldn't be possible to be well-moderated unless the moderators are working full-time on it leaving all other things they have going on.

I think everything should be allowed provided it doesn't breach the general forum rules. It would have to have English as it's primary language, but maybe other languages could be allowed provided there was a translation quote in the same post. Let the legendaries monitor the posting, and crop quoting and make other such changes. It would be handy if frequent spammers could be blocked, so maybe a couple of the legendaries should be real forum mods.
Sort of like Serious Discussion but allow newbies? Or perhaps more like Wall Observer, which does allow newbies. Signatures allowed or not?
There seems to be a whole hotch potch of problems at the moment. We have over moderation coupled with under moderation, and spamming together with a lack of posting. There are also a load of boring personal attacks and whingeing threads. I'd like to see a nice clean general discussion board that is open to everybody from newbie to Legendary , and that is kept clean, courteous, and informative. So how can this be created and maintained?
I suggest a club room that is moderated by 12 legendaries who aren't going to bitch and fight with each other. They can have total control over posting and threads on that board, and they can decide on the topics, subject to certain guidelines set up when the room is implemented.
