It's all these new people. Waves and waves of shit posts are coming in at a level that's hard to control. The true Red Pill members need to be vigilant with their downvotes. If the shit posts are downvoted to oblivion, they'll eventually stop coming. We need to remind new comers to study the side bar and lurk, because many people just aren't doing that anymore. They'll post whatever without even TRYING to figure things out on their own. I remember when I first joined, I posted a question about something I didn't understand and every response was something along the lines of, "Read the fucking side bar." This was forever ago and I'm still not even a regular poster/commenter. I lurk, soaking up all the info useful tips that i can. The posts, and even the comments on GOOD posts, have really gone to shit.

If the shit posts are downvoted to oblivion, eventually they'll stop coming.

No they won't. They will never stop coming. The September that never ended began 21 years ago, and it's still ongoing.

"An educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people." - Thomas Jefferson

A particular organization cannot be both educational and democratic. Education is a one-way transfer of information, and so cannot tolerate (esp. Internet-style) free speech. In writing this, I must necessarily presume that you possess both the rare gift of critical thought and intelligence and a knowledge base roughly equivalent to mine. Otherwise, our communication will fall flat, because you know absolutely nothing about me and I know absolutely nothing about you, so I can't tailor my message to suit you and you have no reliable measure of how much salt to take with it. The impersonality of the Internet is both its greatest strength and its greatest weakness.

There is no good reason why people who join now will read less of the sidebar than people who joined a year ago did. But there are more new people now than before. So there are more people actually reading the sidebar, and more people who skip it and go straight for the "hai guyz, how do I get this one girl..."

If you like GayLubeOil then follow him on Twitter so that he can seal a book deal with a publisher. Also ill give you a heads up when I post.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

Since we are already circle jerking you, can we ask invasive questions while we are at it? Are you gay? Where does that user names come from? I have always wondered and never had a decent chance to ask.

[–]Senior Contributor: "The Court Jester"GayLubeOil 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Im not gay. Google my username if you want in on a hilarious inside joke.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It must be strange knowing that googling your user names brings up actual links and people discussing you. Thank you for responding.

[–]1 Endorsed Contributormordanus 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

GayLubeOil is a big body builder type. He loves working out and he loves his gains. When you google his name you will come up with a story about what was in the gay lube oil that was shipped.

[–]Darth_Pete 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Thanks for asking! I always wanted to know. (I wasn't going to judge brah.)

I was just confused, like did he turned gay after a bad relationship?

The joys of the Eternal September. You really do not notice the top level quality of the posts until it has diminished. The question the Red Pill community has to ask if some it is going to precede. Red Pill in the purest form is a very bitter pill with many not willing to accept it. Either it has to become less potent to allow for the influence in new members or it not to remain it's potency which might cause newer members to leave. However, in general the larger the group is that is discussing a topic the less extreme the stances are that can be taken. I do not think there are less well informed Red Pillers, rather, now there are so many uninformed that they accidentally drown out the informed in their haste to talk about themselves which most people enjoy.

If you want higher quality posts, post more high quality content, report shit posts.

We have the same mod team, and we delete hundreds of posts and comments each week. We obviously can't get everything right away, but if you use the report button it makes it easier.
