Like they do at SciForum. The moderator can decide which discussions are appropriate for which venue. What say you?
You know the woo-woos would jump all over it.
At sciforums they have a moderator for each forum, and administrators over them. Here we have an overworked rpenner.

It doesn't take a genius to 'take the garbage out'. So your opinion is this forum can't improve because of the overworked moderator. Underworked in my opinion.

Both you two are critical and would eliminate a lot of other posters. I would be concerned that the forum would just grind to a halt.

I think it should be called "innovation" dare to dream the unthinkable . Like a hold house for unproved theories or theories that have not been pee reviewed. Where . Not to say every one with a bucket of bloody guts and scalpel can do the dissection as with the scrutiny of the Mods , which I think there should be more like you Alex. . You could turn this place into a virtual gold mine .
So The Grim Repair is he paid ? If not and is volunteer how can any one say he is not working hard enough . I do understand if he was not qualified and could not fulfill his duties because of incompetence. His appearance to me is competence over board qualified to the maximum . If you don't understand that let me translate . He is really good at the job if you ask Me. Better than the secret Christian James at Sciforum who does not separate church from state. Thats the real reason they band me . Christian sympathizer/ Muslim hater.
We could even take on religions in a gladiator way with prescribed trolling expeditions . Sanctioned trolling by experts in the fields being trolled . Like fishing in a way . Legalized fishing expeditions catching people in fallacy.
Oh I guess that is really my own greedy needs of pleasure. Sorry for my selfishness . It would be fun though . ?? Think about it . Alex tell Me it would not be fun . Be truthful . You could get your kicks on rout 666
We could also use sciforum as a holding warehouse for scrutiny of new innovation where they have to pass a screening there first before they present here . If we could convert a certain percentage of sciform members to buy in we could over ride any resistance from the management for using there facilities . Now that both Alex and The Grim Repairer are Mods at Sciform it would be a shoe in for the coup. Put the excitement back into science. It is all P.R. you know . The owners of Sciform should like it cause it might equate new profit margins if they got any now ? They might have more later if the traffic goes hog wild

Totally untrue.
I'm far too nasty and opinionated to make a good mod.

No, but I assume that rpenner has other things he actually does.
To be the lone moderator in a site filled with cranks like this one is more than I would ask a single person to do.
I'm certainly willing to take the garbage out, but what I consider garbage might be a bit to broad.

Then what is the point of this website if not to be a venue for physics discussion? I think that this website is overrun by the garbage that constantly engage in ad hominem attacks. Hey, if you want to stay within a very narrow range of accepted physics, then why don't you go to physics forums?

You don't discuss physics. You describe your delusions. When you read an article on wiki, there's a new theory of 'warp drive' in the offing.

I don't see you discussing physics. All you ever do is engage in personal attacks against others. I offer ideas and interpretations of the physics. What do you do? You fill this community with hatred and hostility. Maybe you're the idiot.

I wouldn't be critical of what was said because I wouldn't bother reading posts in the Alternative threads. I'm not going to be a moderator and if I was I would be fair. BTW it would be easier for rpenner to assign a thread to Alternative than to write long corrections to posts that most of you don't have the tools to understand. He wouldn't have to suspend folks for disconnect with reality. I'd subtitle the New Theory section "All the knowledge in the world is of no use to fools" [just kidding]. The Eagles. Specifically Don Henley. You should be 'for this'.
Where did you read I want to be a moderator? Why would the forum 'grind to a halt'? Everybody posts what they want. If posts and thread titles meet certain qualifications they just get moved to New Theory.

Quit whining about how you feel mistreated. You'd have less problem with rejection if there was a place for you to talk about stuff you think is science. Or what you think the 'physics community' should or shouldn't do. It would be a place to blow smoke and pat each other on the back. A place for IQ's over 178 and other forms of numerology. It would be nice for me.

Sorry Brucep - now I understand what you are proposing. Put the bad threads into the kindergarten section. But how would you stop anyone coming in and posting in the top level threads?
This I took to mean you were offering to take the garbage out.

The real problem is all the illiterate bs posted is meant to prop up some crackpot. This type of individual is only concerned about their idea and not science. Subsequently reviewing the literature may present facts that conflict with the delusional world view that they are brilliant free thinkers. They're essentially an embarrassment to the human race. A mind is a beautiful thing to waste.

"A beautiful mind" was a great film too.

scenario 1
There is a group of 12 people.all standing in a circle facing inwards at each other.They all have 2 guns in their hands,also facing inwards at each other.They fire the guns.
what's the outcome of this scenario?
scenario 2
The same group of people.This time they are all standing in the circle with their backs towards each other facing outwards.They all have 2 guns in their hands,also facing outwards away from each other.They fire the guns.
what's the outcome of this scenario?
Which scenario accomplishes the most??
