Changes You Want?

What changes would you like made to the site? I have some in mind.
 
Some of the sticky threads could get "unstuck" at some point.

If you can find some reasonable, sensible regular users to moderate certain forums that might be a good idea. I just realized how silly that was. o_O
 
What do you think about eliminating The "dumb" button???...in my opinion it inflames pettiness, bitterness, bile, vindictiveness and lowers the level of discourse to pre-neanderthal levels...makes having an informed exchange more difficult and breeds trolls like...well the dumb button for trolls and other mentally unstable people = Bill Clinton/Donald Trump on Viagra...just my opinion...overall the Forum is great but the trolls are a drag on the Forum...

The "Dumb" button gives some people something to do.
 
The trolling is really a turnoff to the site. More active moderating about this would be great-- like banning people who provide nothing of use to the overall conversation. It would probably be healthy for the trolls, also. It is really kind of a sad existence they live.

I like idea of getting rid of the dumb button, also.
 
When I think of the Trolls... Monty Python's Flying Circus comes to mind....the first 4:30 min are classic..."Good Morning! I'd Like to have an Argument..."

 
Dumb button is OK. But if you wanted to change it to a Confusing or That Makes No Sense or That Is Off Topic icon- or add all three - that would be good. I like the ratings in general - chance to say "I read this but don't have 4 more important sentences that you need to read" feedback. Just has to be useful feedback is all.

In many cases the Dumb button is being used like a hammer where a screwdriver would be more appropriate.
 
Repeating @zebrafish here, but more active moderation of the threads. If certain members want to flame each other in endless personal attacks, they can do that in the off topic section. I'm sick of seeing threads about soccer constantly polluted by trolls and folks who can't ignore them. I was getting excited about the new forum, but I think the people who post valuable information and helpful insight about soccer and the scene in SoCal are going to leave in droves because some folks just can't apply the Golden Rule.
