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.
You didn't answer my question.
What I'm understanding that you want is a change to the rules. A subforum isn't necessary for that. Plus - asking for a change in the rules may or may not be walking a fine line. It's subjective to what one finds offensive or not. There are plenty of threads going on right now that aren't involving the use of name calling or cussing someone out. If there's a specific pattern in the kinds of threads or topics that this is occurring in, then what you are essentially proposing is a subforum for specific topics to be discussed in. We already have those.
In addition - what one find detrimental to a productive discussion is, again, subjective. Those points have already been addressed by others.
My bottom line and my point remains: You want to either police what others can or cannot say or you want a special section for you and your theists to discuss subjects that would severely limit participation by others. There's a rule on that. So you're essentially asking to change that rule.
