Honestly I just don't really want to see this place characterized that way. That isn't us. Yes, most of the threads here are awful, but they're awful in a consistently fun, interesting way, rather than just shit.

I think you have a more negative, or perhaps more narrow, view of shitposting than most posters (eg >>621 )

I submit this not so much because I *want* it to be the spoiler image, but merely for completeness.
It comes from http://slatestarcodex.com/2016/05/23/three-great-articles-on-poverty-and-why-i-disagree-with-all-of-them/

I motion that we change the slogan. We should put a bunch of slogans on a rota and go through maybe one per week. I propose the following to start us off:
The "rationalist" tribe tries to remove social inhibitions
Remember when /ratanon/ was good?
This is the kind of gratuitous addition of tribal politics I would like the see less of here.
For real though guys, the actual Scott Alexander must never ever hear about this board

Thanks, guys! For those of you playing at home: the second one there is from Tipsycaek's twitter and the first one is a joke you only get if you read Scott's tumblr.
Pics related are the last of the banners I made from cropping interesting pictures I already had. I'm counting on the community and the OP of OPs for quality control.

Ah, I see. No, I was talking about the Christian bible.

Works better as a reference to the sexual abuse scandal wracking rationalist community. That way it'll always be topical.

just add

at the top of the banner where X is an appropriate LW post title like

Nah, 'changes' is from the original tweet and it needs to at least vaguely sound like Trumup.

I think the other two are a little weak, and I'm also concerned about @dril tweets making up an outsized portion of our banners. Sorry to be a downer.

Honestly, even the polycule banner seems weak, although the Bayesianism one is pretty good.

I think the best of those are the Bayesianism and AI risk ones, and of the two I like the AI risk one best. The polycules one is a little confusing because it's not clear what "aids-theist" means. The HBD one is meh.
