He should close all the containment forums to cause some chaos and then bring back things like Photoshop Phriday that make people want to generate content.

Make all probations a max of six hours and make bans only for blatantly illegal shit. People already have the ignore function so mods don't need to protect everyone from serial shitposters with bans. The problem with people like Tiny Brontosaurus wasn't that she was an irredeemable cunt, it's that she had mod sanction for too long a time.

If you enjoy the forums enough to not want to catch a ban but not enough to resub if you do, there's really no reason to ever risk doing anything that might upset the fickle mods.

He also doesn't seem to understand that Lowtax isn't looking for one-off funding. He wants/needs income month in, month out, year in, year out.

Anyone who considered the forums worthy of investment of large sums would likely want to buy them and run them themselves for a return on their investment. There's no pay-off in funding them so that Lowtax can make a passive income.

He also wants money not donations so that he doesn't have to spend it on forums stuff and can use it for things like buying GTXes and childsupport and footlovers.com subscriptions.

The containment forums don't work completely since there is no moderation to train the worst posters there. The forums have some roaming hazards that you might accidentally encounter that nobody can do anything about. The worst ones are the trannies that start psychotically ranting at people and start screaming about transphobia and persecution if you have anything to say they don't like. The only way to deal with them is to ignore them and hope they find something else to ruin because countless people have been banned for criticizing them.

For example, TGRS keeps most of the militant social justice warriors contained but if you happen to want to see what people are saying about Jessica Jones Season 2 you are exposed to this

The forums won't even let you ignore her because she is a moderator.

When you add all of these people up you get a large number of literally insane people that are given a pass because the thing they are fixated on is morally good. So you just have to steer around them like broken brained potholes nobody will fix.
 
True but I don't have a problem with them except insofar as the mods have their backs, and can (and do) shut up their dissenters.

If KM wasn't a mod, and didn't have admins riding her clit, then people could argue against her dimwitted ideas without worrying about catching a ban. I'm okay with her being on the forums, and she can believe whatever hateful racist garbage she wants, I just don't want mods vetoing people who don't drink her kool aid.

why would anyone, I mean ANYONE, endure these insufferable losers when you can talk about jessica jones literally anywhere you want to on the internet
 
Exactly, why would anyone? There are better places to post about literally everything. The problem with the brokebrains on SA is that they seep into every discussion everywhere, then suddenly you have a multi-page derail about the plight of trannies and the patriarchy in a thread about some video game and if you make fun of the people for being idiots you risk to be probated or banned. Why even put up with that shit when there are dozens of other places where you can have at least the same quality of discussion?
