FE Society: Hot Takes

[Charlie Benton]

First day here. Looking forward to the experience.

Welcome, Chuck. Dive in and get after it.

Let stuff develop in a thread without getting ones underwear in a bind. Gotta keep the racism/sexism/poltics/religion/abortion/sexual preferences from spiraling into some pit of hate. That being said, I grew up on Minnesota's Iron Range and making fun of ones ethnicity was high sport, I am probably going to piss off a woman or 3, I am slowly becoming a Libertarian with a hard conservative bent, I am an evangelical that likes beer, I am prolife, I like females, a lot, anything else is uninteresting to me, some of it is disturbing.

Last major forum I was on had a rules page, don't cross this line and you will not be moderated. Dan Johnson was one of the moderators until he passed, he said if you are not getting moderated, you are not posting enough.

"Let stuff develop in a thread without getting ones[sic] underwear in a bind." Followed in the same post by "...if you are not getting moderated, you are not posting enough." Isn't this a contradiction?

Suck's to be the Marshall with the ban hammer, it is a fine line, having a thought provoking conversation about sacred cows can make a moderator cranky, the forum I am referring to definitely had a few dustups, Dan was more than fair with folks as were the rest of the Mods, folks are being civil on here for sure, I can appreciate that and am enjoying it. How is it going with the spammers? Have not seen a one yet.

Only thing I've noticed is I keep less of an eye on the main site now. Maybe throw a tiny corner at the top for the article posted every day.

@Chad Adams is the man behind our digital journal. He's posting articles in here — Chad can you remind me your method for that?

We've been at this Society thing for a couple months now and I'm curious — what are your thoughts so far? What do you love? What do you want to see more of? Where are we missing an opportunity? What would you tell a buddy who asks what FE Society is?

TIA.

Maybe we could create a group of "mentors" within the group? Sort of like "A League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (and women)"...

Glad y’all finally built this out. I think it’s the real McCoy compared to others and even big tech and their life sucking algorithms.

Alex, you can also build out communities across all platforms and funnel them back into Society. Email me if you need more info.

Also, I don’t think this site needs any moderation. I can’t think of one iconic individual who lived a moderate lifestyle. Let the people police the platform. Hell I had to go touch grass after a bunch of circle jerking watch snobs formed a posse all because I woke up feeling dangerous.
