Originally posted by chancremechanicThis is a good point, although I know there are many children on rhp, so my only concern is that 'ugly words' mainly means words unsuitable for children. I'm more than happy with the use of colourful language, just concerned that it appears in an area where children could see it. Perhaps if the moderation was just such that they removed swear words? I see no problem with vigorous arguing and contestation of points, just when you get 'ugly words' used in a context where children will be able to pick up on them.
I say yes...and disallow moderators from editing posts as these debates get heated and ugly words start getting tossed about, but that's what makes it interesting and lively(look how the Korean Congress debates...looks like a WWF slugfest)...if people get offended by heated dialogue, let them go visit the Mother Goose forums...😵
Just my tuppence worth.

Originally posted by ChrismoI agree with this suggestion. Skeeter has proposed it be expanded to "Politics and Religion"...this is an excellent idea.
I would be interested to know if the general concensus would support the creation of a new 'political debates' forum as such discussions have become increasingly popular lately.
There was a time when the general forum became dominated by puzzles so we created a new 'posers and puzzles' forum which was very succesful in giving people somewhere to confuse each other.
Interested in your views...

Originally posted by flexmoreI had to make a choice... I don't have enough time to play chess and post. I enjoy the forums more than chess. So they get the time that I do have. Besides, I am a very average or below average chess player.😳

As to having the new forum called the SVW Forum... Hmmmm....
Have to think about that. It would probably be avoided like the plague! 😛
