You get in after 60/60 and staff votes on whether you are a good fit. You get kicked out permanently if you fuck up.
My only worry, and it's a big one, is that all substantive conversation would migrate into that forum, and the outer forum would be a shit show, and we'd dry up on new membership.
This leaves out like 70% of the members here. Plus, it's subjective to the opinions of the staff. If the majority don't like a person, no matter how many quality posts they provide, then the majority wins and the person is now unable to participate and there goes one of the forum's decent debaters.
This plan will not work. Plain and simple. It just won't work considering how many variables there are.
And it's not like most of us haven't ever failed to be civil towards others. Even the ones suggesting, or siding with the suggestions, have had their share of insults and/or personal attacks.
