In light of recent events, I think its time to have a serious discussion....

I know this has been said a million times before but things need to change, fast. Tides are changing on this site, and people are upset, and things seem pretty chaotic with all the events that have taken place in recent times. Now, from my perspective it seems as if the community is split between the inclusion of foreign users, and the moderators have been stuck in the middle trying to help the community as best they can. From the experience I have had with talking to the moderators on steam, the current situations are not entirely their fault, because they simply lack the power to do anything. So what I suggest we do is as follows:

• Implement a voting system of some sort. Either to help with fake giveaways, to improve the forums or comments in a post, or in another way to better the community.
• Give Moderators more power to deal with any problems that arise. They have a really hard job with only CG having any power to change things, so giving them the opportunity to solve things without having to go to cg every time would possibly make things run a bit smoother.
• We all get outraged by the ignorant things people say and do , but witch hunts and vigilantism hurt innocent people way too often, which is why I propose that we do what Reddit has done and completely outlaw them, so things don't get out of hand.
• As many people before me have suggested that there be some sort of implementation put forward to make things more friendly to our non-English speaking friends, and my suggestion is that there is a detection system put in place, where it detects the IP address of a non-English speaking site, and directs them to a page that has a welcome message of some sort, which will be translated into many languages. Sounds like a lot of work, but its just a suggestion, so you can put forward a better idea.
• with the upcoming steam update, there should be a way to detect if there are giftable games in a persons inventory, but I am sure that will be implemented as soon as it is released.

Those are just my suggestions,but I do think the way things are run need to be reformed, so we can move forward and grow as a community.
