I've noticed what I perceive to be a spike in the number of offensive postings, often leading to the thread being "doghoused".
Has any consideration been given to deleting individual posts instead of shutting down entire threads?
It seems a shame to throw the baby out with the bathwater because of a few bad apples.
If I were the forum dictator, a personal insult or profanity would result in the post being deleted, but not the entire thread being moved to the dog house. Then, those following the rules could continue the discussion without the distraction of offensive posts.
