It's been suggested there's demand for a "censored" forum. Not for censoring the whole forum, which is and will always be a free-speech forum, but for one forum that is comparatively heavily moderated/censored for politeness - not ideas. I'd like to get your reaction. If there's enough interest, we'll do it. Again, this would be a forum with very little to no cursing, slurring, flaming -- just polite arguments and discussions. Unlike other forums where politeness is used to censor arguments feminists, jews, and liberals don't like, this forum would be civil and free, rather than civil and censored.

Let me know,

I think a censored area [of the forum] is a good idea. Some WN people do not like the riff-raff who show up here...

Sounds like a good idea! If anyone has an unpolite comment that gets censored in the polite forum, they can start another thread about the gripe in the uncensored forum. If they don't that people being impolite, they can stay away from the uncensored forum.

I still think you should keep banning people who purposely try to prevent continuity of discussion. That's been working pretty well lately.
