What's your take on the new DU civility policy?

Poll question: What's your take on the new DU civility policy?

This is absolutely not flame bait. I will state right now that I have the utmost respect for our mods and admins for the hours they devote to our cause. I'm just honestly curious.

1. not flamebait?

but every choice essentially says the policy sucks.

3....2.....1....

2. Reread the choices.

I think I was scrupulous in affording equal weight to both sides of the issue.

[Pithlet]

3. How?

I don't see an option for approving of the new rules?

5. You are right.

I thought that the "old rules are fine" choice would suffice, but on reflection I should have included your entry.

[Dookus]

4. well, let's go to the board:

It's political correctness run amok: negative assessment

If you use one wrong word, you're gone: negative overstatement

Some inoffensive posts have been deleted: negative statement of failure

The old policy was fine: negative

Some offensive posts have been allowed: negative statement of failure

Hurtful words still appear in undeleted posts: negative statement of failure

Members should be allowed to post without restrictions: negative

8. See post 5.

In my attempt to provide a forum for those in favor of greater or lesser license for DU posters, I neglected to provide an option for those who think the new rules are correct. (Damn! I tried to get it right.)

6. Umm where's the choice for "I think its great!" ?

7. Other: they don't go far enough!

Personally I approve of all the changes that have been made, but I think there is still room for improvement.

I'm not quite sure what should be done (this isn't keeping me up nights), but the situation in GD Primary 2004 is hardly ideal.

[Crunchy Frog]

9. None of the above

Given what GD primary 2004 looks like right now, I can't even imagine what this place would look like without the civility rules.

10. A fair poll

would have the current rules as the "center point". Options would vary negative and positive from that point. This is no where near fair.

I like the new rules and think perhaps they could go further.

11. Please post any threads regarding DU policy in Ask the Admins

I'd also like to point out there is no new policy, the existing policies are simply now being enforced.
