red letters
that means business
Women's forum only has black letters
I guess that means we like men and want to hear what they have to say,
occasionally....
red must mean "under no circumstances"
The "no trolling" will always be a problem, because what is a normal question for some people is trolling for someone else. I think trolling is when you disrupt an ongoing conversation, not when you post a new question that people could just choose to ignore and post in another thread they "like" better.
You don't put big red warning letters to inform people that a free exchange is taking place. Nobody thinks that is peculiar? Free exchange would be one diver asking another why people are cutting their Halcyon labels off their gear, ..or something like that.
Absolutely nothing wrong with not wanting those conversations if the self defined DIR community finds that counterproductive. But then at least have the language to define what you want your scope to be and state it.
But to warn people that it is an area of "free exchange" is a little odd.

...just don't ask a question that could be interpreted at unflattering. Seriously? free exchange I am dying to know who's wording that is.a free exchange of ideas concerning the DIR philosophy
