I just wanted to put out here that I'm asking questions and feeling out possible ideas; I'm no Strongman Leader who thinks he knows everything. If I were, I'd have locked this thread and buried my head in the sand. I'm trying to get a better idea of what people are feeling and what the causes of those feelings might be.
The only thing that is definitely being done is an increase in both the activity and transparency of moderation to help bring the tone back in line. Combined with users being more introspective and minding the feelings of others before they post, I think we'll get a lot of traction in getting back to where I hear we want to be. Other things, like changing the reputation system, hiding post counts, putting moderated posts in an open forum for everyone to view, or what have you are concepts and ideas that may or may not be implemented. So, just because an idea is proposed (even by me) doesn't mean it's going to happen.
