I’m not quite sure if you’re asking for a truly-unmoderated “anything goes” forum or just a more lenient but still moderated forum.

I don’t think a true “Anything Goes” forum would fly. Mainly because there are truly some things that I don’t want posted on TC. Racist and other “hate” topics, for one. I couldn’t let topics like that sit on my website. You may think that it might not ever get to that point, but I have already censored one extreme anti-gay statement on TC.

I believe that Tiki Central is, and should continue to be, a civilized and fair place to post. I don’t want a forum where people don’t have to consider the feelings of others when posting. There’s nothing wrong with that, but I just don’t want a forum like that on tikicentral.com.

I don’t feel that Tiki Central’s current set of rules is limiting, either. You’ve got to not call people names; you’re got to not talk War, Religion, and Politics (for the time being); you’ve got to not troll for flames; and spamming is not allowed. Almost everything else is open. For the small percentage of TC members where these rules are too limiting, there are many other options on the web that will address their needs.

Comments? I'm interested in people's thoughts on this subject.
