Perhaps even an "extra step" needed to register for it, so they those wandering in off the net don't hit it by mistake (not sure how possible that is with the software).
How the rules should work there is a bit challenging. Direct personal attacks probably should not be allowed. Perhaps there could be a "burn in period" where any PBCs (or their equivalent on that board) that arise out of the new board are "warnings only" and don't count toward a block. This would give the "balance" of the new board time to develop.
Just thinking out loud at the moment. Hopefully we can all "evolve" this into something viable.Michael
