Maybe I'm being overly charitable, but I feel people here are generally good about following the rules. If someone wants to shit post, they have the entire rest of the forum to do so. I can't fathom why any person would have such a hard time with this.
I don't browse specific forum sub-sections. Ever. I use the new posts button pretty much exclusively so all I see is a list of threads and I don't bother (nor would I want to have to bother) to pay attention to which sub forum a particular thread happens to be in. It has nothing to do with not wanting to follow the rules, I've got no problem with that. Its that you will have people who genuinely aren't aware of what sub forum they're posting in.
And besides that, I'd be a bit concerned about a sub forum with rules that are so subjective. No offensive posts? Who gets to define what qualifies as offensive? Who gets to define what is considered an insult?
I think homosexuals are choosing to be homosexuals and I think those who support homosexuals are ruining this county. That is a valid opinion and contains no four letter words nor name calling. But I find it pretty offensive and insulting. And I sure I could find statements that I personally do not consider to be offensive or insulting but which others would be upset by.
I get the idea and I understand why it seems appealing. But ultimately you're just going to end up including people of one opinion of what's offensive and excluding those with valid but differing opinions.
