I only want debates colored with accuracy from accurate & proper names over slang & pejoratives.
You are trying to impose your rules/prejudices on the new forum.
It is not going to happen.

I'm not sure how many more ways I can say "I respectfully accept your position, but you are both vastly outnumbered and not in agreement with the people who have to run the forum, so it's not going to happen.
To start with a question: I understand that what the rule on quotes not being altered is trying to do (prevent the "fixed that for ya" stuff) but are we allowed to quote a single section of a post?

Wait, which will have a higher SnR than wanted? Debate or P&N? P&N will become even more of a zoo, as the people allowed in to the debate forum will likely be the people less prone to insults already. As such, those people may view the debate forum as the new home for them, and P&N as the undercity that they don't go in to anymore...lowering the overall bar in P&N.
..As the same thematic mission as the P&N, then the 'Adult P&N' or the 'Civilised P&N' to remove any confusion?We just want what I summarize as "P&N without the bullshit".
..
Maybe the problem is the name. Perhaps "Discussion Club" or something else would be better.
Ok... I'm a little confused. I was trying to post a response in another part of this site but it said I couldn't. (Discussion Club) I think this is where I ask for permission to post there?
Sorry, I'm new.

A snippet from the first post, minus the unneeded fluff:
You can find the moderators discussion forum on the left side of the screen, at the very bottom of the list of forums.
"Adult" in the title would lead to much confusion and varied fantasies.
I do fear that P&N still serves its own purpose, and that the new forum is much too similar to denote proper standing. It may take time to grow, much more than anyone would have guessed.
The immediate barrier to entry does not help in this regard. Opening it up and following with heavy moderation on the violators may help bolster participation.
Though I dare say P&N could just follow through with the "polite" rules and be done with it.
I've not been one to make topics frequently, though I wonder which forum I would choose today. Which one would you choose - and why?
I agree on both counts.Opening it up and following with heavy moderation on the violators may help bolster participation. Though I dare say P&N could just follow through with the "polite" rules and be done with it.
I have a preference to get involved where I expect civility and honest maturity. I am now disappointed to see a topic that gains my interest to have only been presented in the P&N.
And I will.....Already had a few ideas to help start up in that forum. I just need time... It's unfortunately easier to lurk while on breaks at work and home, then follow the existing leads with a relatively quick reply than compose a well thought out and referenced introduction to a new topic.Then feel free to start a thread about it in DC.

In your failing attempt to critique me, I am quite confident in my standing within this forum and feel that with my relatively few posts, I do contribute to its better standing.Then you should post as you expect others to post.
As you demonstrate with yet another uncalled for, disruptive, and antagonising post, I think that we may hold our breath in relief with your lengthy records for infractions and banishments, we will not witness your presence in the most welcomed new forum.If you want the world to be a better place, the change starts with you, not demanding others change first.
this statement is rifuckingdiculous.tramples all over our freedom of speech.

Nope. you do not have a right to use anyone else's computer for any reason.We don't have the right to say what we want in a public forum built for people to say what they want?
How so? We don't have the right to say what we want in a public forum built for people to say what they want? Yeah, I can really see the logic in that. You should read the threat they sent me in response to my post...lol
Whoever is running this place needs to put these people in check.
