Moderating for taste
Should certain topics be considered 'unacceptable' for discussion - or even mention - on Barbelith? If so, how should these topics be determined, and by whom?

Racism? - now-locked legacy thread
What began as a discussion of how to deal with apparently racist speech on the board was ressurected and rapidly went odd. It has now been locked as offtopic - if you would like to discuss the issue, please start a new thread.

Bullying on Barbelith
Does it happen? What's unacceptable (for you)? How should it be dealt with? Is there an onus for Barbelith to be mindful of it at all?

Anger on Barbelith
An attempt to examine the ways in which Barbelith and Barbeloids express and react to anger - without, hopefully, itself becoming an example...

Getting some new RAM for the site...
The main reason, it transpires, why this site gets so slow and clumsy is people spamming or hitting the server really hard. So as a consequence I've decided to get another $200 worth of RAM for the server, which hopefully will speed everything up substantially. Fingers crossed.

Some idiot is trying to download the whole site
Some bloody idiot out there on the wider web is hammering Barbelith this evening - downloading roughly ten-twenty pages a second with his bloody wget installation. It is pretty much bringing everything to a standstill. If you see problems around the place, this is why.

'Stupid Offensive Shit.'
Microscopically for any community 'stupid offensive shit' is really hard to define. This thread is an attempt to try and get some kind of consensus on what we mean by this term.

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?

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.
