If you were to be an administrator like Greg for a day, what (if anything.) would you do to improve, add, take out or make physics forums a more fun place.
My first rule would be to allow general discussion posts count,
 
Physics news on Phys.org
^Why?

Why does your number of posts matter at all?

Makes no difference to me if I or others have 4 or 4 thousand posts.
 
Fine ok then,
What would you change?
 
I would allow different people to moderate/mentor the General Discussion Board and give that person sweeping powers to mold the board to their own tastes and desires.
 
Thats good but if someone does not have a go at someone who they do not like they could be discrimanated against, its a start though
 
Nah... I'd let Greg have it back...
 
I would allow different people to moderate/mentor the General Discussion Board and give that person sweeping powers to mold the board to their own tastes and desires.
And that person would be...?
Hmm... I wonder if Greg can be coerced into a "mentor for a day" event...
 
I'd introduce gambling. Roulette and slots up front, black jack out back, and a couple of girls to roll drunken clientelle in the car park and steal their credit cards afterwards.

I'd also make everyone wear Stan Laurel masks and dance naked for my own personal amusement.
 
Well that's an intersting theroy, can`t seeing it catching on though
