Undermoderated forum?

[jsteinhauer]

Lot's of things come up, including movies and games, that tweak someone in a political, religious or otherwise emotional way.

I have participated in other forums where a section was reserved for discussion of such topics, not subject to locking, deleting or member banning. It was the Homebrew Digest Forum, to be specific. I RARELY visited that section, because I was there only to discuss the home production of adult beverages and related topics.

Moderators might consider such a thing, with a disclaimer that they don't endorse, agree with, condone or whatever else with respect to opinions expressed. It would also be prudent to still prohibit discussion of certain things, like production of explosive, illicit drugs or the use of racial or other slurs, like the N-word, the D-word, the C-word or the R-word, among others.

The moderators may also then feel comfortable taking a harder stance against such discussion in "regular" threads.

Just an idea to toss out there. There may be legal ramifications that prohibit such a thing.
