been watching this thread for a few days and I am disheartened
to see that nothing has changed at Noisebridge. The same
problems arise every few months and the same excuses /
solutions are proposed. People talk and talk but nothing ever
gets done. I left almost six months ago due to the problems
being discussed and, coincidentally, some health issues. I’ve
been considering a return but am having second thoughts.</span></p>

is a “Do-ocracy” in name but not in practice. I remember when

openly hostile or apathetic. I decided to be the opposite<b>.</b></span></p>

seems like almost every time I tried to improve the space I
got criticized in some way for my efforts. Once, I spent 16
hours cleaning up Hacker Alley. It was a wreck and I found the
world supply of CAT5 in the process. Although I recieved a few
appreciative comments, I received more complaints about how I
didn’t organize it correctly (or that I shouldn’t throw away
“junk”). I should remind you that I was relatively new and no
one helped me... at all.</span></p>

complain about “sleepers” in the space, but when I tried to

resulted in physical violence. Everyone in the area just<b> </b>ignored
the situation. The belly aching about the sleeping problem had
been festering for weeks at the Tuesday meetings and I decided
to do something about it. Did I receive any appreciation for
kicking someone out that was already banned? NOPE.</span></p>

night I had too many possessions and couldn’t carry it all
home on my bicycle. Absentmindedly, I had bought some stuff at
the thrift store and also had three computers because I had
just given my Linux class. I decided that I would leave my
netbook in its leather briefcase on the Arduino shelf, which I
was asked to help curate. I figured it would be safe
overnight. NOPE. One of the members saw it on the shelf and
took it out to the main work table.... where he left it
unattended for hours (I have witnesses). Another user
recognized it as mine and took it. I learned that my laptop
had grown legs the next morning via email. I was ultimately
blamed for this “theft” by not only the member that removed
it, but by others as well. I was told that I shouldn’t have
put anything on the “Member” shelf because I am not a
“Member”. The member went so far as to say that he thought it
was a donation.</span></p>

I caught a chronic thief steal money out of a donation box.
Did he get banned? NOPE. When an entire donation box was
stolen, I took it upon myself to construct cables and locks to
secure them. Also, I replaced the stolen one. When I tried to
hand the keys to THE PRESIDENT of Noisebridge, she looked at
me like I was some kind of asshole. I only asked her because
Danny didn’t want the responsibility of having keys to the
cash. Somehow, by replacing and securing the donation boxes
using my own money, I became responsible for collecting the
donations as well. And let’s not forget the cries, “We don’t
believe in locks, man!”. Is that so? Well, I don’t believe in
theives and I left the keys with a non-member on my last day.
I hope you got them. Did anyone thank me for that? NOPE.</span></p>

have a Floor Monitor on duty. When one leaves, a new person is

disputes that arise, if any. In fact, it would be a good way
of making someone with a limited income an “Honorary Member”.
Shifts could be established. Would this person get paid? NOPE.
It’s quid pro quo. It could also be part of the Membership

a monitor for 8 hours a week for a month. I’m just grabbing
