Basicly this forum is often times the first impression prospective new incommers are going to get of the community..are we happy with the way they will percieve it?

Do we have the power to change things?
If people have a "forum" - a place for conversation - they're going to fill that with all the garbage and refuse they have bottled up inside them. R&F is specifically a separate section of these forums to act as a sewer to catch all the poo those drama monkeys are flinging.
As someone with a massive post count and has spent a majority of his time in Server Chat, I can tell you that Server Chat is 85% helpful, encouraging, and reflective of the awesome community that exists in game. That's a heck of an accomplishment for any game's forums.
Do you have any suggestions? My bet is that they're things that have been tried and failed. You can't control what people choose to do - you can only guide their incentives and encourage them to do things the way you want. Moderation helps, but that only acts as a diverter valve - to get the crap where it should go.
