About the Crucible

These are just general guidelines and may be added to or changed if and when the need arises.

The forum is a place for serious debate, discussion of news and current events, and also witnessing, if you must. Whether it's the deep discussion on the latest political plans for the recession or arguing about life, the universe and everything, this will be the place for it.

Because this is a debate forum, discussions might become heated and nobody is expected to be a perfectly logical debate machine. However, repeated use of the more obnoxious logical fallacies (ad hominem, poisoning the well, appeal to ridicule, etc) may earn you a STFU from a mod or a caging.

If you have a personal issue with another poster, take it to the Thunderdome. Trolling and threadshitting are not appropriate for this forum. If you have a problem with a post, please report it.

I've expanded a bit on this forum description since it's been getting more activity recently. A debate forum is a nice thing to have, particularly when it's possible to actually debate in it.

The Ask the Expert forum has been folded into Questions and Answers.

When starting a new Ask the Expert thread report your OP to have the thread made a sticky. Ask the Expert threads will remain stickies until a month has passed without any activity.

Write Here, Write Now is now known as Creation Station. Instead of focusing purely on writing, it's open to anything creative users might have made. Art, crafts, household objects you built out of earwax. All that good stuff.
