Frankly, your points are valid. It's true. We get off-topic a lot. Immaturity and foolishness can sometimes get the better of us. But this is a hobby, something we do in our recreation. We come here to celebrate the JK series, to keep it alive. To keep posts and behaviors in finely marked areas is absolutely ridiculous. We all love the JK series - that's what pulls us together. If this nonsense is really what we are blaming on pulling us apart and ruining this forum, then perhaps there is a deeper issue, something we should address. To expect the staff to go through each topic with a fine tooth brush, pruning every single off topic post ceases to make this a community - where personalities and ideas overlap to create a comprehensive joy of modding, of gaming. It becomes a place where no one enjoys being, where no one wants to share, to contribute, to hang out. And if we lose that, that which makes this community worth bookmarking, worth checking daily, then why are we still posting? Seriously. And to be blunt, we all get off-topic. To point your finger at a list of names, or groups of people, is absolutely ridiculous. Are there members who act more ridiculous then others? Absolutely. Does that mean they are the enemy the deserves to be destroyed? Certainly not. There has been lots of drama recently. Will simply banning and slapping the wrists of the offenders fix the problem? No! Because that stigma of anger and unease will always linger. Resolving conflicts as peacefully as we can is the staff's first priority. We've got one prominent rule here at JKHub: Don't be a jerk. As staff, our goal is to facilitate healthy conversation. We crack down hard on innapropriate and offensive content, because that's just stupid. Hurting others and making their stay here undesirable is just plain cruel. Do we split topics as it is needed? Sure. As much as we could? Of course not. Because if you tamper too much with the discussion, you lose the heart and message behind it. And yes. We could focus on rooting out the bad members and over-moderate every post that someone took the time to type. Our, we could focus on making this place better. Involving the community, in proposed events like Tutorial days, competitions, and working together to find a new background image draw us closer together. Ripping threads apart and censoring our members for every "excess" word they type does not. In short, you can criticize us for not banning every offender, for not viciously deleting every off-topic post. In the end, such acts hurt the community far more than it helps it. And honestly, we're open to practical suggestions. We are all volunteers, and there are certainly things we can improve.
