I'm sure im not the only kiwi who stopped even reading the mr enter boards because of the honestly embarrassing behaviour of some of of its posters.
If put through tighter moderation to bring it inline with the rest of the site I think there is a good chance that there might be a little more integration. With a wider range of viewpoints the quality of discussion would likely increase.
Stricter moderation should then solve all three of the subs issues:
1. Its Isolation- older posters will come back
2. poor quality discussions- the wider forum has a far lower tolerance of reaction images, one liners etc.
3. inability to hear dissenting opinions.- good moderation should result in threadbans when people chimp out at each other.
I said early on in the sub that half of what makes mr enter a lolcow is how ridiculously immatuure and over the top not only he is but also his supporter and detractors. I feel this board really needs to make a conscious effort not to fall into that trap- like the second feminist thread needed to avoid becoming an mra circle jerk like the first.
I do want this sub to survive-i think there is both the content and the drive among its users unlike the old GK sub; but i think it does need to integrate better and as after a few months this has not happened organically i think its time to induce a change via strict moderation.
