Civility subsection suggestion

[Joods]

I think the point is not that people are sensitive to being name called, but rather that name calling is not conducive to having a discussion. I’m not really for or against a new subforum. I’m okay with testing one out if that’s what we decide to do but I’m also fine with not having one if that’s what we decide. I can understand why it’s wanted though. I can understand that it might be annoying to have to wade through pages of off topic crap and people just coming in to stir shit instead of actually discussing.

Fair enough, but if this is the case, then another subforum isn't really going to curb that. It's just going to cause more work for the staff. Why not just enforce the quoting members, flaming and trolling rules we already have now? I mean, the PD was put in place for a reason. How about we enforce that instead of making yet another place where people are only going to purposefully break or skirt the rules?

Think about it. Huggy violated the misquoting rule at least three times in one thread, to three different people, myself included. Moderators have posted in that thread and could easily see that he did it, yet he's still around. If the rules aren't going to be enforced in the regular sections of this place, what makes a new section any better? And again, who's to decide what's off topic what isn't? There are tons of threads now, where we've gotten very off topic and violated the PD all over the place but nothing's being done to enforce that rule so why even bother?

As I've said, my intention for the subforum has 0 to do with sensitivity. It's not like I cry when Wololie and Succie, etc, spew their BS my way lol. On the contrary, I find it funny. My intention for this is to encourage a higher quality more productive discussion. It has nothing to do with sensitivity.

I guess I don't understand why you're so against this. AF wouldn't change. This would be a single added section available to interested parties. Much like Mafia and A69. If it's not your thing, simply don't post in those sections.

I am against it because it is redundant. If a person can't have a high quality discussion in the RELEVANT subforum that's already in existence, then perhaps they are the problem, not the forum. 

If you start a thread in the Christian subforum, for example and you know what you are posting will be a controversial topic, then you take full responsibility for any results that may happen. It's like having to hold yourself accountable for letting a kid play with matches. You know the risks going in. Furthermore, you can choose to ignore the posts that aren't relevant. This is done all the time. I have made thousands of posts that constantly get ignored. I'm used to it. I move on. 

And if people are getting off topic in threads then they are moving away from the PD. Why isn't that issue being addressed? Why not just delete those posts all together then? What's the point of having a rule based on some Prime Directive if it's not going to actually be enforced?
