So far I like Grandizer's suggestion best: when we start a thread we can put an icon in or next to the thread title, indicating that we want serious talk without scratching and biting.
That would leave everything else, and the more social threads, for less careful chat.
The ideal would be to avoid adding a lot of work for the mods, of course, who have enough to do. If we only add to your workload on pre-selected threads, maybe that's a compromise.
But you're the boss, and I'll go along with your decision.
