@ponderable saidLemon doesn't seem like he wants friendliness he says he does, but is now showing his true colours.
So what would the Parameters for such a hypothetical thread be?
People: anonymous/registered
People: same Group/diverse Group?
Topics: boring/exciting
Moderator: ?

@very-rusty saidOne way to start would be perhaps to encourage only those to post in this thread who like positivity.

The General Forum is a "safe space" for anyone to wander in off the street to share and release. It speaks well of the denizens here that everyone is welcome no matter how crude, annoying or generally unpleasant. Would the forum be a bit better off if a few folks had their Internet service disconnected for a week or two? Surely.
But if not here, where? Where can the annoying chess players of the world go and be welcome to spew their stupid comments and pathetic screeds? Everyone needs a friend, even the worst of us.
