Civility subsection suggestion

[Edwardo Piet]

I can see us having a trial period, like Steel said, with a subset of approved members. If it doesn't cause too much overhead we could continue it. To be honest, we probably need to recruit a few more staff members anyway.

By the way... I know I am far less than civil on the rest of the forum but I think you would perhaps be rather surprised that I'd find it very easy to be civil in a subforum where the rules actually require civility. So I hope I would get the approval.

I mean, I hope I would be allowed to participate there.

Because you know how that will end otherwise - every nonsensical stream of consciousness of every deluded theist, every proselytizing rant about how "love is light, god is nice, and [insert a tome of barbarian poetry] is a science book" will end up there. Not to mention Little Rik...

Uhhhh it all ends up there anyway.

With or without us being rude to theists they're gonna express their crazy ideas anyway.

Ok, I'm calling it. A popular Christian member is going to be moderator here soon ...

Please God no.

As lovely as some people are... that doesn't make them suited for moderator lol.

I'd happily become part of the staff myself again but I don't think I'm considered "mature" enough (despite the fact I haven't changed one bit and I was always told in the past that I was a great moderator).

Although I could be wrong! Maybe they would welcome me back someday. After all I was always told I could come back whenever I wanted. Although I've asked a few times and been completely ignored so I guess they changed their mind on that even though the whole reason I was retired from staff is no longer relevant (I couldn't get along with another staff member so one of us had to leave... and I volunteered to because I said they are better at the job than I am. But I am getting along with them well again now so the whole reason I left doesn't apply anymore).

I dunno... AF seems to have changed a lot. I certainly haven't

What I really miss is being able to fix quotes when I see all these broken quote boxes from people around the forums. It frustrates me so much when I see all that and can't correct it lol.
