[CharlieO]

As we know, on this forum occasionally rude unnecessary 'arguments' occur. This is not what I am talking about.

In the past few months I have been involved in civil debates over what another member has possibly said. The replies to these on my part have rarely broken official rules. However they have to be deleted (somewhat understandably) as they can ruin the ambiance of the thread in question. Similar to what just happened in beloved Marc's thread.

What I am requesting is not a thread for arguing. But a thread where posts which may ruin one thread can be moved to, so that when someone wants to get their point across in a civil way to another member, they can. So that neither party; the thread maker, nor so called 'arguer', has to have their part ruined or feel they are being unjustly treated.

Of course the threadm if leaved as an argument thread would just result to petty insults and an animalistic mess. So rules would need to be made clear to begin with that it is about civil debate resolving, not baiting or insults.

This is what I do feel could improve the forum, because it does not unjustly delete people's posts when they have done no wrong but then does also not ruin the thread where a minuscule 'conflict' could arise.

Maybe a possible trial could be put in place or a vote so we could see if it would help keep peace in other threads but let people have their opinions when used in an intelligent calm manor.

Also it could make a good read for some other members on a later date
Please do not just disregard this idea because it is 'CharlieO' suggesting it.
