Have a forum within a forum, a secret place that excludes the obvious trolls. Vet a poster for a month or two then invite them. All the same content is mirrored there but only members posts can be viewed.

Funny you should mention that. Because of your insights I added you to my "friends". I don't usually tell folks, it's just a better way to cut through the crap and read better content. I bring it up because I had also added all my "friends" (all rational and civil) to the /s/WhiteOwlSocialClub when I was mod. I don't know if anyone is doing anything there now. There are 6 or 7 mods there who can add you. I'll add them in a sec.

Well thanks for the vote of confidence Jason, I would have added you by now but I'm pretty slack with those aspects of forums. I had only one on my list, Node, now it's two. It's difficult in places like forums, there is that settling in period where you can tend to offend others by blurting out some criticism of a post, sometimes because you didn't bother to read it properly lol. Phone conversations can be awkward too when discussing deep things, there are no visual body language triggers like when you're sitting in person.

All insightful.
