What do you want to read on this forum?

I remember a year or two ago mentioning field reports and members jumped down my throat for suggesting it
The forum has been reduced to incels complaining, lame LMS theory tropes that don't focus on the art of seduction i.e. gaming situation, how to game women with verbal skills, etc.

It be nice to get into the how to win part again instead of just all is gloom and doom for average guys when ultimately real game trumps all

I feel like this forum needs more positivity from guys who have been there and done it.

At the moment it feels like an echo chamber about how awful women are and how they will all divorce grape you. I can safely say that the number of women I've encountered that are truly terrible people is really low. Women are generally sweet and nice providing you are the kind of guy they want. If you're not the kind of guy they want, it can weigh you down but this forum should be the place that teaches how to become that but it seems guys have given up and would just complain rather than do the work.

This place genuinely sucks your vibe and I remember why I left, it was literally because my mindset was getting too negative. I went away and had a cool life, popped back and just remembered why I left. It's verging on toxic here, I can't see how a guy would come on these forums and genuinely improve their situation. Where are the high quality posts on what to do with a certain sticking point? Where are the sticked posts on these top standalone posts that can help you improve your situation on a given topic. Imagine if there was a post with the top 10 beginner sticking points with post after post about what certain high level guys did to beat those things.

Something like (hastily put together)

1. Fear of approaching
2. Not sure what to say in a given situation
3. How to get into a good vibe
4. How to escalate physically
5. How to get a girl back to your place
6. How to bang well
7. How to keep a girl you like around
8. How to spin plates
9. How to attain a rock solid mindset
10. How to find a girl who lets you bang other girls

The Hall of Excellence is a starting point but it's off the main forum with no link to it and there's no structure to it, it's sporadic posts and still requires guys to piece it all together which is difficult if you're starting out. Then you go on the main forum and it's posts about how women are terrible which is low hanging fruit and easier to engage with because all the guys who are struggling can relate to it. Guys come here for answers and I don't think they're getting them.

More posts that are aspirational/inspirational and practical how to type advice. I think the focus should be on how to do better, how to be better, mindset, and habits.

And I'd like to give a shout out to @cola who started just this type of post today. THAT is the type discussion that is salient and helps others.

I'd also (as an aside) encourage the use of two features of the platform,

1. The search function. You can search topics, members whose perspective you appreciate, and there is lots of good material here from years past.

2. The ignore function. If a particular poster is particularly annoying, ignore them.

One thing I strongly suggest to the admin and mods is this: Consider restricting individual posters from creating multiple posts in rapid succession in the same day, few days or even week. I think in my almost 10 years here I've only ever started a few threads. Posters who create multiple posts are often attention seekers who often create little value for the forum at large and they bog down the forum with negativity, hopelessness and ineptitude in many instances. Bombardment of this repeated poor quality content, in my individual opinion, clogs the forum with content that runs counter to the mission of the board, and discourages the audience.

If a poster is always "poor me, woe is me, complain, complain, complain?" Limit such an individuals ability to run the whole board off course and in the process run off the guys who are actually seeking actionable advice.
