I feel we can't have a rule about everything that is concidered uncivil, the list would be so long nobody would have time to read it.
Joking about animal abuse or any abuse for that matter should in my view be a "given" in a mental health site. If it is against the law to engage in these behaviors, that might be a big tip off what is or not civil to joke about. These loop holes can cause an issue to esculate because poster are left to deal with it alone without any suport from a deputy.
I realize that if there has to be an exact rule before it is enforced, it gives deputies a huge loop hole not to respond. I believe there has been many "please be civil " warnings given to posters, where the rules of civility are IMPLIED, but not exactly stated as an EXACT rule, concerning an exact subject.
