I don't think it refers to civil debates. Its more directed towards those out and out flamewars and mudslinging parties. Ya know the ones that so often pop up here and within an hour theres 200 posts with no end in site. In 90% of them the "constructive" part ended at post #3 and the rest are just people screaming at each other over what they cant even remember. I have to imagine that is the reason for Lyrra's post. And it was probably locked because it would have indeed turned into just that. She also mentioned a lack of moderators. Its probably to cut down on the threads that need to be "moderated" due to some peoples incessant need to act like 2 yr olds. Thats my take on it anyhow. Just my 2 cents, Gina
