I think we should suspend (i.e. ban for a short amount of time) users who blatantly disregard forum rules.
This forum has been getting progressively worse and worse because of the amount of users who seem to only exist to contribute a bad ambiance to this forum. I'm talking about users who don't understand the concepts of spelling, grammar, and punctuation, ask stupid and obvious questions repeatedly, bump old topics, ruin serious discussions, and otherwise make this forum terrible. We COULD have a good place to discuss new cubing developments, make jokes, and compare times and strategies, but we DON'T, because of the volume of terrible posts. Since the possibility of convincing all of the good cubers to all move to another forum is nonexistent, we need to change speedsolving to make it more friendly to people who actually care about its content.
Well, I've had enough. We need real moderation. We need someone who will ban a user for bumping a two-year-old thread just to say "wow this is old". Forget the rules - I shouldn't even have to ask you whether this kind of thing contributes a negative ambiance to the forum. You should already know. Stuff like this just makes this forum look like a place for people with no intelligence or social etiquette. That is not what I want the main English-speaking cubing forum to be.
We can do so much better, but we need the administration's help to make it happen.
