Suggestions rn would be as follows:
Revamp the rules entirely, it's late and I'm not gonna make a full list of what should go and what should stay but several of the rules (ie trolling) are bizarrely enforced and don't seem to match standard internet definitions of the word at all.
Questers suggestion of a general mission statement and what exactly forum culture should be in specific subforums (ie General) would be massively beneficial both to players and it would help moderation weed out those who go against the statement and only drag the place down, of which General currently has more than a few.
Reallow megathreads with a more stringent requirement to stay on topic and not become chat-y.
I'm doubtful this one will get in but it would go a long way in making moderation look better to the userbase. People who are primarily active on the game side should be barred from being game mods and should be sought after to be forum mods and those active on the forums should be barred from forum moderation and should attend to game side. As I've touched on previously people from most every side of NSG believe moderation is biased in one way or the other and having outside people unconnected to the ongoings they moderate would make the idea of bias a much harder one to sell and would ideally improve faith in the team.
