Here's my two cents. Take it for what it's worth
- Make the site 18+
In a way I agree and in a way I don't with this. What if 18+ can sign up and be members, and anyone younger has to be approved? This way you can regulate the younger members a bit most easily. Maybe you could make then PM an Admin and explain why they want to join.
- Make everything but the parking lot Restricted access
I would make the new members forum public domain as well if you do this.
- Make the site more of a club, t-shirts and items
I love this idea, I think that this would help with the drama as well. I think it would make it easier on the admins and mods when they want to ban people as well. It seems like members of a club would take things a bit more seriously then members of a site would.
- Add some more moderators
Why not, you really can't have too many.
JET's idea about DSM's only makes me a little nervous though, I don't have a DSM as of now so that would kick me off and I want to stay.
You can disregard these if you want or use them.
