> > Why do we not consider minor changes in the guidelines, to accomodate special considerations, but which apply only to that specific board? For example, permission to speak in politic language on the politics board, or special trigger consideration on e.g. an eating disorders board? Why do they have to be the same rules, if the topic is already different enough to split off as a separate entity? Just flag the special information, whatever it might be, at the top of each board.

I still think the politics board, for example, could be liberalized a tad, without adversely influencing the issue of civility there, or elsewhere at babble.
> I try to TRIGGER any post that could possibly upset someone but I think another subjective rule will only lead to more blocks for people who are doing the best they can. If it makes you feel better maybe it's worth that risk. I mean that sincerely.
I do think any solution needs to follow the KISS rule.
