Civility subsection suggestion
RE: Civility subsection suggestion
That ones not a stereotype bud.



Anyways, is it too much to ask someone one who is accusing you of breaking the rules to explain themselves?
RE: Civility subsection suggestion
Speaking in a non-official capacity I would reject anything that made the forum become more ‘safespace.org’

I don’t want any topic to be out of bounds for anyone, ever. And I don’t want to see the staff moderating debating discourses either.

In an official capacity, I think we do our best to ensure some semblance of civility is maintained throughout the forum. Yeah sometimes things slip through the cracks but I think we get it right most of the time. And ya’ll love the banter.

But whatever passes we’ll adapt I guess.

RE: Civility subsection suggestion
Bah... Tibs, make the subforum. Make me sole mod of that area and civil will be whatever I deem it to be.
Anyone not acting civil (by my definition of civil, and y'all will have to guess what it is... but I think that professor analogy is very close to it) will get banned from the sub forum for a week.
Second offense gets two weeks.
Third gets three... and so on. Maxes out at one month. I guess that's more than enough.
All properly logged in the staff area.

Running afoul of the remainder of the forum rules leads to standard evaluation of the foul.
Yay or nay?

I'd support this.  Smile
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

RE: Civility subsection suggestion
Lets get real for a sec folks...who in their right mind would voluntarily choose to make themselves a target by playing the role of the proposed subforum censor. I can already hear the "why was I banned by X" and "X isn't fair" echoing across AF.

RE: Civility subsection suggestion
In response to Neo's thought, it would be best if a violator of the rules was not ever banned from AF.org completely for breaching the rules there, but only banned from posting in the subforum itself.

The whole thing sounds like a headache for the mods, but, in reality, I see it (practically) as an issue that would only need to be taken care of every once in a while.
RE: Civility subsection suggestion
Please ban me ahead of time from the civility subsection. Thank you.

We already have threadbans, But I thinkI speak for all the staff, that ultimately we are unnecessary forumwise. The reason we exist is due to diverging opinions that sometime someone will feel offended.

In a sciency way "We are doing our best to keep the pH level"

Me too! Although I've started treating the whole website this way now... "now" being... since today.
RE: Civility subsection suggestion
Staff, can we do a trial run of the subforum, since poca volunteered to mod it by himself?
