Although the concept of DC was quite noble, after posting there a few times I became uncomfortable with certain "dynamics" of the forum. Despite being a "cesspool", it turns out that I much prefer P&N instead. Go figure.
Anyway...the mods here in P&N give us pretty much of a free reign...which is both good and bad in my opinion. We tried a "no insults" rule for a while to help clean it up, but the majority found this policy to be way too restrictive. Since then, the rule has been rescinded and it appears that the mods have now taken a completely "hands off" approach in this regard. I personally believe that we just need to control the tone of this forum a little better instead of going from "zero tolerance" to "no holds barred" extremes.
We have some posters here that consistently contribute little or nothing except insults. These people are killing this forum. I don't know how a new rule should be written...but we need something that would allow reasonable moderation. In my opinion, we have way too many that never contribute anything of value and are only here to insult and constantly derail attempts at respectful dialogue.
I'd like to hear from you your thoughts...what kind of future do you want?
