Woman-friendly Barbelith
A thread for primarily-female-identifying people to share perceptions and discuss any experiences of oppressive unchallenged behaviour on the 'Lith. How can Barbelith's culture become more woman-friendly? What policy changes, if any, would help? NOTE: Until further notice, posts added to this thread by male-identifying posters may be deleted.

(How) Do you know what's going on around here?
How much of Barbelith does everyone read? And if we don't read every thread, how can we possibly keep track of what other posters are saying?

Thread to list forums that you would want to moderate
See previous threads for details of which forums are particularly in need of moderators; list your user number and the numbers of the forums here. (Don't ask how to find those because it's already been dealt with in previous threads.)

When my head goes bad
A nasty tendency to get more focused on Proving I'm Not Wrong than actually saying something that's right.

How should we select moderators?
Well, more *should* we try selecting moderators in some kind of democratic way, and then, how might we do that?

Ugliness on the board
A three-headed thread. One- An attempt to end hostilities between myself and Haus without wasting anyone's time. Two- When is it OK to badger a poster and not okay? Three- Why is the board so ugly?

Helping people to feel censored.
There's been some desire recently for people to feel censored on Barbelith, but right now we don't have the back end to enforce this. Suggestions here.

On an ill-defined aggregate of related policy issues about community
I am so tempted to leave this blank, so some poor sod can make up rhyming couplets. But no: this is about community, about responsibility, about why Barbelith doesn't need to be safe, and why we shouldn't talk as if the people we are talking aobut aren't here. Cuz they are.

Expectations of Barbelith and Barbeloids
Increasingly, we're getting angry/ashamed/disappointed with 'Barbelith', collectively and individually, for failing to meet our expectations. Is this fair? Are our expectations a) realistic, and b) explicit?
