[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few tips.
As others have mentioned, make it clear in the title that it's a SN post.
Also, feel free to report unhelpful/snarky replys to keep a post on track. If you say in your comment "post unhelpful" it will go. In health and medicine "post contains inaccurate information" gets things gone pretty quickly too.

Sometimes I reply telling somebody it's SN and their tone is not helpful. That tends to end it.

If we all spent about a week reporting (like next week) we might be able to get the civility back here.[/quote]

I am completely against this. I think this is a great way to derail this entire board and make it completely useless. I've already seen posts and threads disappear from other threads that create a slanted view of an issue and create a way for people to further their own political agendas. The only reason the forum is valuable is because it crowdsources comments from all kinds of people. All the comments, even the hurtful ones, represent a real person's perspective.

Not helpful is not a reason to delete. Inaccurate information yes that should be deleted but IME others come on the forum pretty quickly to correct the inaccuracy so it's self-policing and doesn't require a censor to come in and do that. I draw the line at revealing someone else's personal information. I've seen people, mostly in other forums, give a lot of detail about specific children that you can identify from that information. That's malicious and defamatory and those posts personal attacks should be deleted.

Of course posts that are cruel, abusive especially in topics related to discrimination due to disability, race and religion should be policed but there is too much on the forum already that just disappears.[/quote]
