Information must be clearly visible regarding any question one could possibly have regarding extraction, dosage, use and psychology!
New members MUST read this information before posting.
Before they can post, they are reminded by a special message, containing links to all the information they could possibly need.

I'd like to see all noob question threads deleted.
Including all posts which are not informative nor fun nor useful![/color]
Like to have:
new styles, better search function, new chat functions. Name change function would be nice - we could limit the amount of changes available!
Regarding information, as said already, new members now receive a message that links them to the important threads and places such as WIKI, FAQ, attitude and health and safety section, etc.
As for the rating system, Im not sure I agree with it, also like obliguhl says. I think it starts making people too based on opinion of others, which might actually backfire in terms of posts quality . But we will consider the suggestion and discuss it.
Better search function I completely agree, I would say its a priority, but it might take a lot of programing and traveler is a very busy person. But we will definitely talk to him about it. Chat functions isnt really related to nexus clean up, but since you mentioned it, which new chat functions?
Name change function is tricky because it makes it harder for mods to follow who is who (and therefore a troubling member for example might get away because of changing his name)
Thank you for the input!

Nice idea, endlessness.
Mmmm... I don't know how are we supposed to help categorize the threads so mods can merge them, but maybe it would be a nice idea that the volunteers post the "main tags" and then a list of such threads. For example:
(...)
Then the mods could decide which to merge and how so.
My suggestions:
• The mods should have the authority to change threads names if considered necessary for the betterment of the forum organization.
i.e. A thread called "plz Halp!" that asks for help about DMT recrystallization should be renamed: "DMT recrystallization help". Etc.
So I guess there is a lot of job in that area...
Anyway... Later I'll try to find more repeated / related threads so Mods can decide if they should be merged. You can count with me here.
Peace.
Excellent clouds! Thank you very much! Your ideas are also great and I totally agree that thread titles should accurately portray the content and not just be a call out for others to read it. I have already done this a few times, so indeed whenever you guys notice a thread with a thread title that doesnt show whats inside the post, please do note here and we will change
Again, thanks a lot for the help, its very much appreciated, and whatever you do post here again in the future is of great value!

*edit*
here are 3 of the threads i started, which i don't think will serve any purpose. So delete them, as they're unnecessary.
I would suggest, that Nexians also post links to their own threads, which they feel are unnecessary, and will serve no purpose...like mine that i'm stating below..

The search function definitely needs to be improved. i was just trying to search for all of my previous posts, so that i may post unneeded threads here, but the search function is limited to only a certain number of posts. It is not an exhaustive search since it tends to skip the older posts for some reason, unless the key words are accurately specified. So this needs some work.
As for the chat functions, someone on Nexus Chat mentioned that having a drawing tool for the Chat would be a really fun, and helpful function..
Best of luck cleaning out the trash mods:d
All those promotion requesting threads have been merged
here, and I added a moderator edit in the first post, quoting part of the new welcome message, that explains a bit about the nursery and tells people not to keep requesting/begging for full membership
I also deleted your own threads since they indeed didnt contain many other useful posts (I wouldnt have deleted if there was any valuable post from somebody else because this would be unethical)
The search function I agree, and explained above in my answer to mr dmt about it. As for the drawing tool, as I said to mr dmt, its not really about a nexus clean up but this will be talked with trav about. He is very busy and I dont know how much programming this takes, but it will be considered. I think right now we should focus on new member/clean up related things.
Thank you very very much for your help!

Just two seconds peek into my favourite subforum "Cacti" revealed that even older members cluttering the forum.
Why isn`t
this question................................------>
here ??? :?:
If you wanna me I can simply reply by words `this thread` into every thread in Cacti subforum which are valuable for ILPT. This way they will be all resurected ant they will fill up first 5 pages.
Or every thread with more then 5 pages should be made sticky.
Report every double thread seems like a hard work as there are so many of them
Those threads were merged, thank you!
I dont know if you bumping threads without adding anything specific to the thread is the best way of doing this (imagine if each member did the same). But what you can do is link those threads you find of value here, and we can consider making them stickies!
Reporting every double thread is indeed immense work, but thats why we dont expect you to do this all by yourself at once. But if once in a while you notice a double thread and post here, slowly we will clean up this forum and keep it as amazing as ever. Thats why I posted this thread here, because with the help of many members we can get a big job done much more effectively.

What do you mean with 'extra', isnt that the main BBB thread?
And that other thread, yes very basic question, but its not repeated AFAIK.. What do you think should be done? Removed altogether, put somewhere else, or what do you suggest is the best idea for that thread?
Your help is much appreciated! keep them coming if you ever notice anything else

I'm strongly against a voting system and every idea that makes one feel unappreciated. Voting creates unneccesary hierarchy. The best idea i've heard is the delayed signup. Those who forget about the nexus after a few weeks won't be a loss propably. Could be wrong though...
I agree with you, also as I answered above
