Changes are afoot

[Scythe13]

I agree with you on this BP, but at the same time, this is SD and do you really think he's going to over-moderate? For me, if it's not about prepping, then it's not really got a place on a prepping forum.

Also, I think this will be a good move in expelling those that are on the forum because they're lonely, and those that are on the forum because they want to prep.

There are people on here that provide little to no beneficial input, questions, or seeming interest in prepping. Those new to prepping, survivalism, and the alike, are asking questions, challenging the old concepts, and are doing an awesome job at moving prepping forward. Some of the older vanguard are very much set in their ways, but add a huge amount of knowledge. The novice will learn and challenge, the older will teach and learn in return. But there are arm-chair preppers that we know are providing nothing to the forum. They don't help the noobs or challenge the seasoned vets.

At the end of the day, this is a prepping/survivalism forum, and I don't have a problem with it being that way. Infact, it's kind of (read EXACTLY) why I joined.

SD has better things to do than totally moderate everything on the site. It'll probably as simple as asking a question "Is this survivalist or prepper related?" if it's not, then it should be removed from the forum.

Some of the political conversations, not the School Ground Politics kind, are interesting....but have absolutely NOTHING to do with prepping. Are they interesting reads? Yes. Are they of benefit to the site or forum? No.
From what I can tell, that is exactly what SD is going to be looking into.

It's like the financial conversations I rant on with. They are only prepper related to a point. And then I just go off on one about economics. It's something I'm guilty of, and it clogs up useful space. If I could, I'd probably delete 70% of my financial/economic rants (not because they're wrong......they're actually spot on correct) because they really don't do much for the benefit of the forum. They might enlighten a few people, but it's not at all prepper related.
