I can see no swearing being a rule merely for practical purposes, if and only if it would make things easier for the mods. So there doesn't have to be that question of "well, is this being used AT the person or not?"
So basically your only hang up is people using cuss words towards others? If that's the case, then an entirely new subforum isn't necessary. What you want is better enforcement of the flaming rule already in place. Why didn't you just say that in the first place?
Is it against the rules to tell someone "fuck off" or call them a cunt, etc?
I was under the impression that name calling and such was allowed, so long as it wasn't done a ton of times to the same person in the same discussion. But perhaps I misunderstood though.
.
Also, name calling/cussing out are not the only things detrimental to a productive discussion. I brain stormed a short list of proposed rules some pages back.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
