I think I may feel better if there was a place we could just move threads, or copies of the threads, when less-than-positively-spirited-debates start to break out. I for one am certainly tired of having to debate forum etiquette.
Rob and I talked about it a while back and thought it might invite negativity and decided against it. But, it seems we're going to get it anyway so, let's hear some opinions on it.
- We could help keep the forums clean if when a little fight started just move the portion of that thread into said sub-forum, leaving the original thread to serve it's purpose. This would allow members to post all they want (to some degree obviously, no hard core hate posts) without them feeling censored.
- However it would invite/allow people to fight to their hearts contents and it may be hard for members to not let the hate spill out of the sub-forum and back into the regular area on future postings.
-Or would it?
Thoughts, ready go.
