I Like Chopin
As many of you know, we now have three additional moderators in Cong: Blazade, GatoDelFuego, and Martin. With this extra help, I'd like for us to gradually start doing more proactive work in Cong and less reactive. This is due to a common complaint, that Cong lacks any identity and isn't really compelling to check out. What we'd like to do is start making more threads on a regular basis that might be interesting to people, and start projects that could get recurring user interaction (for instance, in the spring I'll be restarting the long distance running thread).
To help us get started, we want to know more about what people would want out of Cong. Congregation functions as an "any other" forum. It's more defined by what it's not. It's not Pokemon. It's not shitposting. It's not even video games or anime or the like. So far, that's mostly left us politics and lifestyle. But maybe it could be more than that?
What sort of threads would you like to see in Cong?
Do you have any ideas for projects? If you don't want to run one, a mod or another user might like your idea.
What general vibe do you want from Cong? How much moderation do you want in terms of users respecting other users? How light-hearted or serious do you want it?
Please answer any of these questions or offer other input of your own. Thank you.
edit:
Here's a poll regarding the level of moderation question:

Strict moderation favors ridding the forum of condescension and "cringe". Loose moderation favors a less clinical forum where people can fight their problems out. There is NOT an option for moderating only topics YOU don't agree with, so choose wisely.
Keep in mind this isn't a vote. Also, anyone who does not normally read/post in Cong should be willing to participate as well.
