Re: Banned topics - requesting a consensus
I'm not too bothered about being able to discuss said issues. But it would be nice if we're allowed to at least mention the subjects without: 'Ooooom, mercy.' Being murmured by everyone because, as you said, they're taboo subjects.

Re: Banned topics - requesting a consensus
Yeah, I agree. A new 'Debate Forum' would be good. Obviously, it'd be closely moderated. And we do have some older and mature members on here who would like to discuss more sensitive issues, like politics and religion.

Re: Banned topics - requesting a consensus
I definitely agree with you on this. There is nothing very interesting to talk about here anymore...it's mostly, like you said, favorite music, video games, etc. Controversial discussions are not always a bad thing; I think it's important to be able to discuss these things, and it would probably add more sustenance to the forums as well.
The separate section is probably a good idea. I've seen it done on many other forums, and it seems to work well. The rule could still apply to the rest of the forum, and I'm sure one of the mods wouldn't mind putting some extra effort into keeping the discussions civil and in order.

Re: Banned topics - requesting a consensus
I definitely support this idea. I'm with Paranoia: there's nothing interesting to talk about here if controversial subjects are censored.
We could at least have a separate forum for serious conversations with an age limit if that's what the concern is here.

Re: Banned topics - requesting a consensus
I agree 100% with Clock-la. It would be completely worth any extra moderating we'd have to do to keep a debate forum working. I'd do it all myself if I had to.
@bmah, I think a question like "Would you like to be able to discuss the banned topics?" would make more sense; Yes would indicate the positive and No would indicate the negative. It's a little misleading the way it is now. If you're trying to encompass those who don't care either way, there could be a third option for Indifferent. Either way, I cleared the votes from the poll so everyone has a chance to redo theirs.
