(this is a moderator post)
Hello P&N community
In recognition of this being a USA presidential election year (and in anticipation of the community growing as we progress towards Nov 6th) your moderation staff wants to do a gut check with the P&N community to get a read on your current likes and dislikes about this specific subforum - the way the community interacts with itself, the level of active moderation, what should be allowed, what shouldn't, etc.
So please take advantage of this thread by posting up what you like and dislike about the P&N. Too many personal attacks that go unsanctioned? Too much over-moderation of thread-craps?
Ground rules for this thread - please keep your feedback and dialogue productive, this is not a "bash on the mods" thread, and it is not a "bash on member XYZ" thread.
However it is expected that generalized comments on moderation likes/dislikes (e.g. "not enough troll threads get taken down", etc) as well as generalized comments on undesired posting styles/habits (e.g. "too much partisan bashing") of fellow members will occur, just keep it civil and respectful so we can keep the Open Mic thread open and productive.
If the thread degrades into a flamefest or trollfest then it will be locked.
Our goal is to ensure the community's needs are being met, to ensure the rules of engagement are less murky to the members of the community, and to ensure the spirit of the existing posting guidelines (fairness, tolerance, etc) are upheld in a way that is both prudent and realistic.
Consider this thread to be a brainstorming thread, a working meeting of sorts. From it we will distill the productive bits and follow-up with a thread that establishes clearer boundary conditions on acceptable versus unacceptable posting behavior as well as determine the right level of moderator resources that need to be allocated to this venue in the run-up to Nov 6th
