1000% this. Many of us have wanted a real-time chat since day one.

Yeah I think it would lead to higher quality discussions and less conflict

@puporing I think that’s a good idea. There’s a bit of spam right now

It's harder to moderate and no.

Thanks! I think it would compel people to make better-quality posts when they do. Also a shift towards doing the inner work.

Maybe if you hire some transcriptionists.

Additional mini warning suggestions-

internet abuse (too much time spent on forum)

Phuack this is my 9000th post.

If they make a mini-warning offense it actually shows on the post itself (to show how not to behave in the forum), if they get a bunch of the same mini-warning they get an actual warning for not reflecting on what was being pointed out repeatedly.

If you could hear the other person's voice it would dramatically enhance how well people treat other.

The anonymous nature of just words and profiles brings out a worse side of people.

More options to personalize ones profile. Like different pics, favorite books, attached blog posts - in general a more intuitive and user friendly profile interface. A bit towards the likes of social media sites.

And of course to allow larger files being sent. I would even pay a little bit for such an option.

Sure, but there are other reasons. It makes the conversations more casual and more likely to devolve into a cult. While anonymity has its bad sides, it also has good sides, like removing a lot of potentially harmful social dynamics.

If this place became more cult like it would be a step up on quality and intelligence

The reason people get drawn to cults is because of the loving energy and genuine connection.

If this place became more loving and open it would appear more cult like.

Lol.  So true.  

Kind of a counter-intuitive sign that, obviously isn't desired, but if all your concerned about is being in a cult or not, just see if people are arguing out in the open.  --- though, what if the cult leader knows this and thus encourages and allows this behavior!!!!   You just can't ever know I guess.

 

In any case, I think we can all agree this will never be "perfect" and please everyone.  

Which is why it's good that it's just the internet and you can just leave if you want, or get banned, w/e works for you.

 

As per the thread:  Improvements / What I'd like to see more of

• No huge overhauls... I like it's simplicity of layout and it's just not too fancy with lots of options and pages etc.  
• I think the forum is fine in its layout.  Like, you can overthink things like this and I think it's fine just as is.  Sure you could make little adjustments and add-ons.. but really, I think if people can see what's being posted and it has broad categories to search stuff on, I think it's fine.  I mostly use it just to distract myself anyways and see "what's new" in the world.
• Ya, maybe more courses. 
• Maybe more resources and links to other works and people you use in your videos.  Just so people can follow their own trails of what interests them and see what influenced your conclusions.  --- even though I know you say recently you do most work without books etc..

The moment I realized I was in a cult was when people started to unite around fear, paranoia and suspicion.

Do you think that this forum is a cult?
