Hi,
Doesn't this spill over into the main forums? What I mean is if you put two people in a no-holds-barred forum like this they will likely flame each other vigirously. I would imagine that this will seriously sour their relationship, so when you allow them back into the main forums again, do they keep sniping / flaming each other?
I have considered a forum like this before, but the above concern has so far kept me from doing it.
Instead I have build up a bit of a reputation of reacting strongly against flames (you get one warning, if you are lucky), which seems to work quite well. I don't have to ban more than a few people a year (excluding the usual trolls etc).
Sanuk!
