We should try to be better than we were on the other site. We should be more welcoming to people even if they are not part of the master race. If we see console players being ignorant (about PC) we should correct them and explain why that is not true instead of circle jerking about how much of a "peasant" they are. We should be the face of a friendly community that people would want to join rather than putting them off by being abrasive. We shouldn't be fighting with them either because that won't help (discussion is better that mindless arguments).
My suggestion is that we should make it easy for people to switch to PC by being welcoming and informative. To achieve this we will need to change what content we submit and upvoat to this subverese (compared to what was on the other site), and maybe get rid of, or at least tone down some of the cult-ish culture that we have. It would also probably be better if weren't about what makes PC better than consoles but instead about what makes PC gaming so great.
Edit: Ok, so my main goal with this post for us to take steps to avoid the circle jerk that was created on the other site. The tongue-in-cheek humor is ok, but we just have to make sure we don't get lost in it in the same way that people can start doing something when they originally started doing it ironically. My idea is not to throw away all the culture we had but to instead make the community for friendly to everyone (even console players). The problem is that people who are introduced to PC are often told to steer clear of us because of the way we act.

We could still acknowledge that PC is better that console but I think it would be better that we steer clear of circle jerk that was created.

Totally agree. I hate all the gaben/circlejerking stuff. Often it felt like people would hate everything console related... untill it came out on pc then cry about how awesome it was, It always felt like a double standard to me. Sure I dont have any current gen consoles, pc all the way. but does that stop me saying at E3 I saw some cool PS4 exclusives? Nope. There were some and I wish I could play them (but wont be unless they some how get a port) but all the hate is just toxic IMO.

Yeah PCMR is for those who have already ascended, not those who are trying to.
