How do you tell when something's unacceptable on Barbelith? Changing to become a discussion on the future of Barbelith.
Acceptable and unacceptable - in terms of posts to and behaviour on Barbelith, what do these mean? It's been said that you can express almost any opinion here, as long as you do it politely, and are prepared to listen to people who disagree with you. Is this true? Is it only the way things are expressed that make them unacceptable, and when does something tip over from being irritating to some members of Barbelith to unacceptable to Barbelith as a whole? Moving Barbelith forward technically, addressing problems concerning access to the source code.

Highly hacked together page...
A new piece of functionality built from string and bits of gum that is unlikely to stay around for long, but which may help you guys feel a bit more cohesive for a bit (as well as inspiring some new and interesting cross-site conversations, even if only for a bit).

The disability-friendliness of Barbelith
As someone disabled, I'm finding a number of things about Barbelith hinder my enjoyment of the board. Can anything be done, and should we be talking about disability more?

Seemingly being unable to type a certain word on Barbelith.

Is this place alive simply because I'm vain?
Do you guys still enjoy Barbelith, or is it just a crutch or a ritual? Is it still open just because I can't bear to shut it down? Should it actually have been put out of its misery years ago?

Thoughts on functionality concerned with multiple users on the same computer
I've been thinking around a way to minimise the effects of trolls on the board - particularly those operating multiple accounts, and particularly given that I'd like to be building more stuff involving board-wide voting - and I'd like to check with people around one idea that could impact on groups of barbelites who regularly use the same computer to post to the board. Opinions please.

Ladies and Gentlemen...
The new board has launched, it's full of bugs but at least it's out in the bloody open and that means that I can start thinking about something else for a change. This is the place to report bugs and weird bits of functionality ONLY. If you want to comment on the design aspects or get all excited by the change of pace, then start a thread in the Conversation.

Old moderators advising new moderators...
So here's my suggestion - old mods give the young 'uns some pointers towards what is and what is not acceptable moderatorial procedure - or to put it in another way - "How to suggest moderator actions that we'll vote 'agree' on"...
