1. While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts. I know there is a lot of gray area in this one, some examples of this are: Direct insults to another poster, racist remarks, links to insults or racist remarks, links to videos directed to another poster etc. You will be pointed for this rule violation. The thread may be closed or removed if too many members are violating this rule.
2. Debating is supposed to be fun and challenging. If you find yourself getting angry or upset, it is best to just leave the thread instead of posting in anger.
3. Any implication/ suggestion of violence against another member will result in banning.
4. Do not gossip or spread rumors about other members. Points and possible banning will result.
5. Remember, if your only reply is to call someone a name, you have just lost the debate. That poster may have deserved the title that was bestowed, but by saying it, makes you look just as bad. Take the high road and illustrate how the comment is dumb without insulting the poster who made the comment.
I like this section of our forum. I enjoy the debate and want to keep this section open. Members may end up being closed if things don't get a lot more civil, however.
Please report posts that violate any forum rules. I try to scan all new posts regularly, but can't be everywhere at once. I do get reported posts fairly quickly, so I can act on them.
Thanks so much for making this a team effort. Let's prove that we can all play nice together despite our differing ideology.

. I'll base my decision on complaints from sw members and the negative connotations of the post.
