Ive had some frustrations with the "Serious Forum". To start, I think it needs to inform users with a message when they click "Create Topic" that only SLs can reply to it. Many of the newer users dont realize this, and those of us who arent SLs but still take things seriously are unable to reply. Second, I think that EVERYONE should be able to reply to it, but members who have a history of off topic posts, unseriousness, etc, should be banned from replying in it until their behavior changes. Third, I think replies should be rated in the serious forum. This would filter out and auto-remove those who are not serious, or just give bad advice. Naturally you shouldnt be allowed to vote on someones reply if you friends with them, or have them blocked. This would keep the system balenced. Lastly, I think "The Serious Forum" should include all of the "Serious" boards. (most things that arent DTRM/Pop Culture). I would be surprised if this issue hasnt been brought up, but I wanted to give my opinion on it.

Thank you! I find it frustrating when I'm willing to be serious and answer a serious question (which I would rather do than silly questions, most of the time), but since I'm a support leader, I can't. I am fully able to be serious, but I simply don't have a special title.

Also a good idea, imo.

I think you are right. I almost stopped using livewire because it seems that you can not get true good advise on here anymore because the only thing you hear is sex and drugs and how 13 year old kids thinks it is cool. I need honest true advise I think there should be at least one forum on here that is monitored better.

the serious forum does include all serious topics....that's the point of it having a generic name....

Rather than suggest some kind of goofy scheme to methodically weed out every single non-helpful person, why don't we develop some kind of system to specifically mark people who want to be helpful. Maybe if someone has a history of supportive behavior, we'll institute some kind of process by which they can be marked an officially "supportive" member?
