[QUOTE="NOT_A_BOT, post: 31925, member: 3918"] Some people here have noted the difference between normie and patrician. I think this is a solved issue: Normies consume corporate and are used to dopamine focused automatic and managed "experiences" that feel good to them. This forum, is a forum. Normies don't like reading and have a short attention span. This forum is also modeled after the 90's internet, so "ewwww", says the normie. In short, the issue of gatekeeping normies is easily solved by being special little autistic secret club dwellers in their special club tree-house. (no girls allowed!) The difficulty is more on the [I]patricians [/I]and the [I]retards[/I]. There is a group of cunts who can only be gate-kept with a ban-hammer: I endorse the mods banning trolls for repeated offenses. On the other hand, as IlluminatedPirate said, this site needs new blood or it dries up. The reason for this is simple: Culture is created by naturally [I]whimsical [/I]people who are creatives, autistic, analytical, or high IQ in general. These [I]patricians [/I]enter and leave communities as they please. So, the best advice I can give to the mods in this regard is [I]do not let the insane run the asylum[/I] and keep recruiting how you have been so far. It has been working well. Another point I want to make is contrary to what a few here believe. Moderating the community kills any new refugee that comes here. Only normies care about rules. The patrician is a weirdo among weirdos, and so gatekeeping merely keeps the best brains away from this place. Free speech is not negotiable. What I'm worried about is subversion. Niche cultures are being exploited and made into popular normie culture by corporations in order to cater to new consomers. The first step is to kill the old guard with SocJus. I have not witnessed a victory from these niche communities so far. What typically happens at the time the corporation comes for a niche community is the following: [LIST] [*]Mods get replaced by tranny jannies. [*]Noise to substance ratio increases. (bots or normies it makes no difference) [*]Articles get written about X, driving hype. The content literally does not matter. It can be X is nazis, or X is patriarchy (gamers are dead). [/LIST] I think a defensive guide on how to defeat corporate takeover would be much more useful than arguing about how to stop new (bad) blood from coming in, since doing so would result in no new blood coming in at all -> as we're all weirdos here. Corporate warfare involves shock trooper SJW's for the most part, so some forums have survived by steering aggressively towards third positionism, or giga-cringe, such as ponies. Sometimes both. The problem is, patricians do not recognize any "shock troopers". To us, having a SJW troll and become a moderator, and then having the natural reactionaries to this (national socialists blasting Erika, or similar) is misconstrued as the same subversive elements ruining our fun. I would like to prophetisize and warn this: When the corpo comes for vaporwave, do not confuse friend for foe. When it happens, trolling will be a weapon, and its point will be to make corpo bleed, its cost will be the decay of this forum, and defending by trying to go back to the good old days will be an impediment to victory, pacifism if you will. Be ready to troll any corporation engaging in vaporwave, their first wave of attack will be to send in sjw's and the media, then to subvert the mod and to have users claim "mods must be subverted and gatekeeping increased to dictatorial levels". In conclusion: 1. Natural gatekeeping is the best gatekeeping 2. Ban trolls, tolerance is a false good. 3. beware of spooks, they seek your destruction. [/QUOTE]
