Unfortunately, I do not know how to avoid a sizeable zanudstva the transition to the technical details of the project to translate the dream into an epic.
Because the project has structural, technical, organizational, managerial, informational, ideological, ethical aspects - and it's not a full list ... Gloom.
Can so all this "bury", which will be not to art.
Blame these problems on the admins? Good idea, but whether they possess a perfect Zen art of cotton with one hand?

As a compromise, try to provide a very general outline of the vision problems in general - that intuitive basis, without a review based on its approach to particular questions may seem extravagant.

In a nutshell - it multidiskursny synergetic approach in relation to the forum as a complex nonlinear dynamic system.

In practice, this means in particular the following.
The forum in a process of self-organization, and non-destructive control forum is only possible in a symbiotic relationship with these processes.
The Forum is based on maintaining a thin delicate balance between chaos and order. It is a little upset this balance, and months of efforts by many people to improve and promote the network share will go down the drain. For a cascade of growing crisis will often do the one and only "pushes" events.
The more popular and increasingly will be a resource, the harder it will be to avoid the regressive processes.
Constructing a formal model of the life of this community in order to predict and control is unrealistic.
Ironically, the most effective way for sustainable development of a dynamic forum - the cultivation of the irrational "intuitive wisdom" - and not only and not by the admin ...
Proc from the ability to see the processes taking place at the forum in different categorical systems (multidiskursnost ") - the same as that of the transition in geometry from the Cartesian to polar coordinates in the visual arts - from direct to reverse perspective, etc. Ie for some incredibly intricate "Gordian knot" can not find a clear and dramatic denouement.

At most forums have nether world, where sending sinners, and who represent all sorts of bad words - flood, etc.

Recently a tender version of the "lower world" - "Pavilion" was added (suggested by the participants themselves) terrible - "squabbling."

At first glance - it is a humane action. Convicted of malicious Flaming or thuggish behavior are sent to purgatory, and not just in the eternal "bath".

On the second and third glance, this - a mistake.
Respected and respectable forum that has a relationship to the world of art in general ought not to show the world the presence of a prison structure - boards antipocheta.

And where to find out the relationship?
After all, circumstances sometimes forced to such a clarification is not only "fans sort things out", but "nelyubiteley, whose reputation has been hurt in an unfair public announcement. Explained only through lichku - hence implicitly recognize the validity of reproach in his address, or "swallow" an insult.
Often the exchange of two or three replicas of exhaust question. And if the spat becomes chronic?

Here needs a "hell". But in any case not under the name "squabbling."

First, not every disassembly a squabble. Involuntarily resentful man had to try to restore justice, and his emotional "pravdoiskatelstvo" will, in turn, considered as a confirmation of ugly character, and off they'd go to vlot ban.

Secondly, in any infighting, there is more or less guilty party. Both are stamped, "hell-raiser."

Thirdly, the name of "squabbling" is so skewed in relation to the names of other sections that are involuntarily attracted to him attention. It is elementary law of advertising.

Fourth, the admin goes to the role of the magistrate, and people are fallible. As the admin - the symbol of the forum, unpopular decisions inflict damage the prestige of the forum. There is a royal affair. After archetype requires that "the omnipresent and omnipotent" was also "all-good." Options permescheniya in this section, DB transmitted "boyars" - Moderator, or regulated community.

Section title should be emotionally neutral.
"Разборки", "strife", "altercation", etc. - No good.

I propose - "Differences" - "the place to find out and conduct personal conversations that are not of interest to other participants of the forum or detrimental to the reputation of the forum.

Best of all, if for guests and for new members, not made a single post, this section would be invisible.

In addition, after a burst of emotion, people tend to quickly withdraw and then regretted the incident. It is desirable to limit the term of placement of posts in this section a month. Then it is interesting only to lovers of fried.

When promotion forum because you are interested in not only quantitative, but also - and above all - quality of the participants?
But serious people related to art, often peculiar to the domestic aristocracy and aesthetically look at things.
Forum is not an exception to this series of things.
And if after the first acquaintance with him will be found a false note - the second singles may no longer be.
At best, people can register to view the information in the database, but to participate in the forum, the aura that does not seem perfect, he would abstain.

And the criteria for making a final decision is likely to be "landmark trifles" expressing a close view of the degree of elitism forum or the will of managers to such.
Noble people at all times prefer to be beheaded than subjected to public flogging - punishment for the plebs. If there is a network share to "squabble" - then it's potentially a place for the plebs.
You decide which contingents of priority.

The presence of "an unpleasant and unattractive side of forum life" smart people, and so figure it out. Is it worth it to accentuate the sake of a hypothetical educational influence on the slow-witted?
Moreover, the rules of conduct and consequences of their violations of the newcomers are informed at registration.

I assure you that with a strong interest of the participants of the positive atmosphere of the forum and mechanisms of self-regulation will effectively deal with small excesses than a demonstration of administrative paternalism is justified only when clear predominance of random people on the forum.

I have exhausted their arguments and if they will show you lightweight, then at that and stopped. ;)
