Your distrust is excused, but moderation will remain a necessary part of this forum for a long time....
I appreciate this thread, because it seems to me that most posters are looking ahead towards the future and have genuine concern over finding ways to stay within the rules and post constructively. That's heartening.
Tecoyah's sticky is all about what will happen if you cross the lines. In terms of avoiding crossing those lines, simple is best. Don't attack each other, don't call each other names. Avoid generalizing about "the other side", and don't post or reply in the heat of anger. Use the report post button. In other words, post respectfully about issues and discuss why you hold certain views.
If this is impossible for someone, then their contributions have already ceased to have value for our community.
