Back on the Jolt forums, particularly in the RP section, we had a way to ensure quality. New players who didn't meet community standards were flamed and trolled until they left. It was the highest quality RPing group to date on NS, but it was also the most ridiculously hostile, unpleasant and arguably the most disgusting part of NS's forum history. And I hope to Christ we never end up back at that stage although with the ever increasing prevalence (and tolerance) of snarky, borderline insulting posts, we're heading that way.
Perhaps a specific forum could be made that would be locked to the general public. To get on you'd have to have been on the forums for a certain time and be judged worthy (based on your post history) by a panel of members of that forum or mods or some OOC equivalent of the RP mentors.
Just an idea I came up with now, I don't know how it'd actually fare in reality.
Eh, I doubt that'd work. It kinda creates a selective bottleneck for new opinions that'll make NSG go extinct without any new topics.
I agree. These guys aren't examples of men, but examples of humans who are obnoxiously vulgar. A lot of people who are decent, including lots of women, don't like dealing with that. They may be lead to believe they represent the general "social circle" here.
