I'm serious about this. You guys are awfully mean and if you want to get active posters with a new perspective to give a jumpstart to this forum, you should take it upon yourself to nurture them and show them the ropes.

So look, poster to poster, next time you read a bad post and feel the urge to right "suck my dick OP" or whatever, how about writing this instead: "Hi OP! I've noticed you posting in this forum and I really appreciate the kind of insights you bring to the table! But listen, maybe your posting could be improved if you just did x, y and z!"

This would honestly help GBS overall by mitigating the exclusionary atmosphere with an earnest effort to help new posters. And the new posters, in turn, would be more likely to continue trying to refine their posting style until they fit in. It's a win-win.

Let's do it, GBS. Let's be the forum that *helps* rather than *hurts.*

I feel like you guys are almost getting this, but somehow not quite there.

Can we please just cut through the irony and anger for a minute and try to have a serious discussion?

Well, a sincere (sincere mind you) offer of a blowjob, or a sincere request for a blowjob, is one thing, but too often the suggestions to suck dick are clearly aggressive bullying. If people *really* want their dicks sucked, then post away I guess. Although maybe we should have a separate thread for that purpose.
