Civility subsection suggestion

[Shell B]

Area 69 was the worst idea I ever had here. (I'm pretty sure I was the fucktard who came up with it.)

Lol nice

At the time, it made sense. We have a few flirty members who can use a place to vent that shit, but I think it might contribute to some of the more annoying aspects of running the site. It hasn't directly, but I've still said aloud that I'm no longer a fan of encouraging intimacy.

I may be wrong here, but it seems like part of what CL wants in a new subforum is to disallow insults entirely. If that’s the case our current rules do not cover that. Yes, we have a flaming rule, but simply calling someone an asshole doesn’t count as flaming.

Simply calling someone an asshole don't necessarily stop serious discussion either. The problems CL wants to avoid typically stem from one person call in anther names repeatedly, which would fall under the flaming rule. As I've stated before, I wouldn't mind at all seeing that rule tightened a bit and more rigorously enforced despite having run afoul of it myself.

And before the objection that it doesn't get reported gets raised again, I have to ask, is a report required for rules enforcement?

A lot of the times, yes. Staff doesn't read every post, even when they are active in a thread.
