>Perhaps others can make suggestions for how to phase-out the current dysfunctional moderation and enable a more relevant and healthier one.
Create a new forum-the Rage board. The Rage board would be a healthy place to vent, devalue, express anger, or complain. The emotional outlet would divert passive agressiveness and overt anger or disapproval from the other forums, among other things, resulting in a healthier way to express yourself that parallels the human experience. Example-if you are currently suffering from Effexor withdrawal, you could go on the forum and say "That Effexor is damn poison!!!". You could say "Twitter sucks!!". Or you could say..."My psychiatrist is an *ssh*l*!"...you could say, well, just about anything....because-it isn't personal to anyone but the Ragor. Ragees who personally associate themselves with the Ragor's rages would have to keep out. A Mister Yuk-Rage sticker icon could serve ss a warning.
But instead of creating a quasi government structure complete with a consitution, judicial system, exectuive branch and legislative arm with complex laws - we would have 3 simple, easy to understand rules:
1.No anti:race, religion, sex, sexual orientation
2.No talking about forum members past or present
3.Enter at your own riskA warning would be attached to the Rage forum in bright red font, with flashing highlight. That way, people who are feeling vulnerable, who are rejection sensitive or easily offended; or who are experiencing unfavorable emotional affect - would have no reason to complain. Those who feel that way can simply avoid the forum.
The rest will have a nice, safe place to play out childhood drama, re-enactments, repetition compulsions, devalue-whatever you choose given your mood or problem or issue. And that stuff could then stay off the other boards.
