Again, moderator discretion would be key. Im not advocating for month bans for calling someone an idiot, bans are usually for cases of egregious violation of forum rules. Youre just making assumptions.
What I am saying is that we need to enforce good behavior which promotes discussion and punish the bad which actively takes away from it. ways it could be implemented: deletion of spam/personal attack posts which lack valid arguments, some type of soccer-like card system to keep users in check in terms of trollery or insults, etc.
This would require a highly educated overseer with a very comprehensive idea of what is and is not effective debate, but hey its gotta happen if we want any progress.
a totalitarian police state wont manifest itself, i promise.

Waypoint style totalitarian police state is not what I want to see. Just being more respectful is all it takes. It doesn't require a 30 day ban for every accidental and subconsciously automatic "idiot" that comes out in your post.
