You and some others have some really good ideas. There is a point at which stricter rules make for more of a exclusive community, though. I do like the idea of the pinned posts and notes explaining rules and etiquette, but that is not my call.

Who else - please let me know so that I can look into their ideas

Your call, u/Magnora7?

JasonCarswell, for one. There has been talk about a year or more ago about tightening the rules. I can't remember exactly who else at the moment. It seems that whenever an admin starts removing posts and comments, and banning users for repeatedly "dragging down discussion" or ad hominem attacks, it doesn't end well.

OK, thanks
 
Just to clarify, my suggestion: "Forum etiquette to be observed by all: only relevant & constructive posts & replies" would only apply to the pinned posts, and not the rest of the sub(s).
 
Hopefully u/Magnora7 sees the value in this simple idea.

He won't. Guaranteed.

The management here has always been closed, stagnant, useless, and utterly rotten with egotistical bullshit thinking he knows best, and he's let the forum slide to the point where the users just drag everything down. There is no future or civility here and we don't have time to waste as the world burns when alternatives and solutions need attention.

I'm done with toxic SaidIt and moving on.
Some of us can do better and we all deserve better.
