Civility subsection suggestion

[johan]

"Christian" is not a nasty name, but I would say, if in doubt, don't do it.

Maybe christian isn't a nasty name to you, but that doesn't mean someone else wouldn't be insulted by that label. And you're still not answering my question. Its a yes or no answer and you are avoiding the question. I suspect that's because I'm asking you draw a line which you do not want to draw i.e. when does a comment become an insult. Its a very subjective question to answer. I don't blame you. I wouldn't want to draw that line either.

I guess I'm not seeing what the trouble Is?

People who use the new posts button don't see forum sections. Case in point, I have absolutely no idea what section this thread is posted in. None. Nada. Zip. I know I can look at the top of the page and figure it out. I just don't do that because as of now, it doesn't matter. You're going to make that now matter anytime someone who only looks at new posts responds to a thread.

Now perhaps there are ways to solve this particular issue, but the point is your comment isn't valid unless this issue is addressed.

Also as has already been pointed out, what you're suggesting is already in the TOS for the entire forum i.e. keep it civil. Which again, goes to show that not everyone has the same idea of what is or isn't civil. Either that or forum moderation is lacking in this area. I'm not complaining about the job the mods do, I'm just saying that if you want to forum to be closer to your own personal definition of what civil is, perhaps finding ways to alter the current moderation standards would be a better way to do it.
