TL:DR If Saidit is to maintain the culture that M7 desires, there must be structure and people willing to help.
With all of the talk about the direction u/Magnora7 should lead this website towards, I think we should all think about why we are here at Saidit. I, personally, am here to learn and hear others' experiences and to share my experiences and what I have learned. It is important for me to have access to that arena, but I think there should be checks and balances to keep some from trying to disrupt that communication. I think M7, being the founder, has the right and responsibility to take Saidit in whatever direction he feels proper. I also think he needs help from the community here. Let's continue to offer help and opinions while debating such. I am very optimistic about the growth (not in user numbers but structure) here and how many of us will step up to be part of something bigger.
Here is Wikipedia's take on culture. It seems to be geared more towards business culture.

I find this more relevant to what we are going through.

I see Saidit at a point where it is important to better organize by cementing a solid structure where everyone knows what that is. While I think there is a place for "the wild west" attitude, that is better left for the temporary sites, as they are always popping up every few years, like a warehouse party. I think M7 and d3rr have created something special and I would rather see it attract more information seekers than to simmer with a small, dis-jointed group.
