I’ve read a book recently that was named “The Internet of Garbage” with the first chapter named “The Internet IS Garbage” and to that point the author went into detail of how communities go astray from their purpose and what it means to properly build them into something nicer than what happens to unmoderated shit holes like 4chan.

To that end, I’m immediately implementing some rules on MCS:

1 – no obviously trolling.  if you’re saying something that’s obscene just to get a rise out of people you’ll get thrown into The System.

2 – no personal attacks.  ok: “I think that politician is a piece of shit whore”; not ok: “Tiki, you’re a fucking piece of shit whore”.  breaking this rule will get you thrown into The System

I think that’s it, but as with anything on MCS, it’s going to be imperfect and will need to fixed a few times before it gets better.

Oh, you say to yourself, but Tiki, what is “The System“? Right now it’s a multitiered laying algorithm that I’m manually running (read: clicking one box) and then manually unclicking the button when it’s time for your return.  During the time that you’re in The System, you’ll be unable to log into the site, unable to submit content, and unable to submit comments.

I’m open to suggestions, but at the end of the day I’m tired of negativity and fake news showing up on the site, so I’m going to be blocking all that stuff from the front page too.

I am your god and I have spoken.
