> Is it possible for you to expand the rules of civility section of the FAQ?
First, sorry about taking so long to get to this...
Yes, it's *possible*, but see the Potter Stewart quote. But for a long time I didn't even have a civility section. Would you like to make some suggestions? Other boards do go into more detail, for example:
http://www.algy.com/anxiety/disc/faq.html
http://neuro-mancer.mgh.harvard.edu/ubb/faq.html#purposeWould something like that be better? Hmm, should I just link to them?

> Also, perhaps you could re-order the FAQ to make the civility "answer" more visible.

It's true if I've *already* asked them to be civil. Which is the case with disruptive users.

Good idea, done, thanks!
