Unless there is some way to signify that you are posting to the subforum, a lot of people are going to break the rules accidentally. Is there a way to resolve this? Because there would almost have to be.
I use the "new posts" button as well. On TTA the Personal Issues & support section has a bright pink background whereas the rest of the forum has a black background. It's a great visual cue that the person is needs help and to try and be supportive. The section is heavily moderated as well so the moment there's any shit posting it gets stamped down on.
The civility forum would need something similar if it were to work. But TTAs PI&S section works because most people have a genuine amount of empathy and feeling for others even if they do not agree on certain issues. Also it wouldn't be so easy for the mods to stamp down on offensive comments if two sides are discussing an issue rather than one side asking for much needed help.
