I'm sure something like this has been thought of and discarded (for good reasons) before, but why don't we have a thread where FM's can come to argue?

It's still moderated (obviously), but people are allowed to actually flush out gripes with other people? It could of course, just keep arguments dragged out longer than they would be and affect the rest of the forum, regardless.

This is a voluntary thread, and if you don't add yourself to the list of people willing to use it, then no one can mention your name or moan about it.

That way, it frees other threads up from being hijacked and gives us the chance to try and find conclusions to arguments that are stopped due to thread closures and infractions. No one is allowed to insult anyone else, but it may actually restore balance to the force.

What say you?
