| ...Question: What do you mean by "positive resource"? I should think one that would protect its posters. Wrongplanet cannot apply equal moderation to an unequal opposition. I think that all moderators in this subforum should either/or be LGBT and of course ASD; these are the only people qualified t... |

| Yes, I am disappointed in Wrongplanet, but that could change. My opinions are not as important as the feelings, the future and the lives that will either be helped or hurt as a direct result of what happens in the LGBT subforum. If this subforum is going to be a positive resource for LGBT people, Wr... |

| If there is going to be a subforum where LGBT who are on the ASD spectrum are treated with respect, it probably will not be on this wesbsite. |

| The people who posted remarks against GLBT people must have read the Wrongplanet rules, and yet they did what they did anyway. And now there's going to be even less moderation? This was the most hotly contested subforum on Wrongplanet. People spoke out against it. It appears that Wrongplanet created... |

| Here is what I am proposing (V3) LGBT Subforum Etiquette Making hateful and derogatory comments about groups of people you are not a member of is ban-worthy, and your post might be deleted as not to offend others. Using derogatory or slanderous terms for others outside your group is not allowed. Mak... |

| leejosepho, Your edit was done in such a manner that it probably would appear that there was never a problem in the first place, but there was. Mode 1: Lock threads destroying the flow of their contents, and leave the offensive comments in. Mode 2: Edit posts dissociating the contents of the followi... |

| I was originally asked for something like this when I asked for the GLBT subforum. Perhaps it could be added. |

While not in this subforum, I found this poll quite offensive because it suggests that all LGBT people are bigots. It was allowed to stand, thinning my trust in Wrongplanet's resolve to make this forum work in a real sense.

| Why were offensive remarks allowed to be posted about transsexual people!? (When there are so many more things things about me, that are much more disgusting than my Transsexualality.) What is to dissuade people from making such remarks again? It's not like there is a FAQ reminding people to behave ... |

| ...So, congrats on getting an LGBT subforum, and let us all now work together to make/keep it a friendly place for LGBT folks! This subforum is a start, but if if the subforum is a method where LGBT people go to be be reminded that they/we should feel bad about them/ourselves, then of what use is i... |

| I think that even if some rules are redundant, perhaps still they should be posted locally in the LGBT sub-forum so that the posters and the moderators may act accordingly. The amount of backlash against creating the LGBT subforum is a warning that the same attitudes may also be applied to individua... |

| ...I do understand there is now an International Criminal Court (ICC) where so-called "hate speech" against groups of people can be prosecuted, but I seriously doubt Alex would specifically add that kind of verbiage to the WP posting rules. However, and since the WP posting rules do already address... |

| What I meant by "...group of people you are not a member of..." is that it seems that oppressed groups of people tend to take power back from the same words which were were originally meant to demean them, but I would hope that people would not continue to use them against others. In other words, on... |

| To make sure that the basics needs are covered, because sexuality is also being discussed, and because there will be people with ranges of experience and age, I thought it might be good to create an environment where everyone isn't being hit on all the time. Perhaps adding something like this might ... |

| I welcome feedback about the FAQ proposal. I don't think that locking threads is the answer as much as deleting offending posts and banning offenders is. An offender will take from that, that any GLBT thread can be locked by spewing offensive remarks. It's LGBT subforum may be where ASD people go to... |
