Re: A good idea that would be a good start, but
DQ I don't think that getting rid of words is going to make any difference. A civil discussion or debate is based on people respecting others, in spite of differences of opinion.
This respect can be shown by treating others in a civil manner, without name calling and abusive language.
Most people know very well what is civil and respectful behaviour, and what is abusive behaviour, and they choose the way they behave towards others on these forums.
If people choose to abuse and harass others on these forums, then there should be consequences, be it moderation of the posts, banning, or removal of the offending posts to the trash can. If this sort of behaviour is allowed to continue, then my fear is that curezone will end up like so many other websites where abuse is allowed to continue unabated, and have become nothing more than pointless electronic noise boxes.
