Define your values, make them known as rules of the board, stick to them. The board is new so this is a big advantage - ie you don't split your community because everyone starts out knowing the rules of the game. You don't even need to make them absolutely explicit but you should have the balls to ban people who don't follow them. I would even go so far as to ban politics completely. Even though I have had some very eye opening conversations.. see Ketmar's nonsense on doomerboards about wanting to kill people who don't follow his worldview were his utopia put in place.. it has made me never really want to have these conversations with people in a fandom I go to for fun and bullshittery. That would mean you would have to confront and ban people who cannot accept their views as being political (although looking at every major fandom now-a-days I don't even see that as a bad thing). Heh I wonder if the board would be taken down if you did ban someone because they cannot accept that fact.. heh we live in clown world so who knows. Meh been drinking after some late nights working so not sure if this is even being talked about.. just looked at the latest lengthy post and this is what my brain synapse told me to type.
Edit: Oh and trying to build a community around mapping or something would probably be a good idea. It is the reason doomerboards is as successful as it is after all. As long as wads aren't posted on doomworld or zdoom forums I wouldn't mind making a map (this is the only reason I never finished a map for those projects).

no need to ban politics entirely when the people we're mutually avoiding only thrive in hiveminds in the first place, moreso than teh chuds. makes sense tho in that it usually leads to shit flinging regardless, & this shouldn't be the focus of a board based on... fun and bullshitting? whatever

I'm fine either way but I second not barring politics from entering the fray (speaking as a moderate freak-show enjoyer, of course).
Community projects are for nerds tho.. the rather pimpled-ginger, self-doubting kind of four-eyes, thus, on this particular issue I'd vote for no fancy wall betwixting-us but to shoot them on their six (pronto!) -or- as a pacifist alternative; to send those cuck-suckers into a nice, cozy space where they would work-out their insecurities via old-school methods, such as; carpentry, how to grow crops, milk goats, break stones, manufacture MP-40s, sew-up Hugo Boss™ suits, you know.. all that good stuff!
Then, with some luck, in-time, they'll finally notice a pair of balls hanging between their legs and feel more confident in using such accordingly without the need of others fondling-it - ain't that wonderful? Oh, there could also be a nice plate right at the entrance with some inspiring words in-it, like 'work sets you free' or something.

I decided to remove the auto-censoring of slurs and I'd like to apologize to sexybzzrak for oppressing him.

Add smiley reactions to posts, akin to the DB "Heh".

Probably a good idea. A little caco or pain elemental could work good for that.
