I don't think you're out of touch Reg, but quite the opposite. As a mod, no doubt you're more exposed to this stuff than the average user. Perhaps this contributes to your slightly jaded perception.

But that fact makes me ask, you are a mod, what are you doing to make the place more welcoming? Saying the place sucks (and by inference suggesting that some users here do too) doesn't seem to be very positive. Maybe something could be done to improve things a little.

It seems to me that because this is a very anonymous site, then the downsides of that – like cruel anonymous shitposting – are going to go with the territory.

But how about an 'About' section, saying what the site is about, and what sort of behaviour is expected?

Clarity in the rules section could be improved too. I'm not going to go through the whole thing and point out all the inconsistencies, apparent omissions, and contradictions here, but they exist, and don't help the perception that "anything goes".

How about some including a board for new users to introduce themselves? I realise that there are problems with anonymity with this, as well as the way usernames aren't enforced here, but maybe it could be tried.

Anyway, that's my two cents. But TBH, though I think some things could be improved, I'm very happy here, and would give this place 5 stars.
