I think a good forum is one where people are treated equally, innocent until proven guilty, I suppose I mean. People are allowed opinions, allowed to be given that right of being a valued and appreciated member, no matter what their background or culture or race or whatever.

I have found accyweb to be 99% that in my own personal experience. I go on a fair few internet forums. Of course people will always differ in opinions and it would be pretty boring if we didn't!

But if they do disagree, being civil, non-judgmental, curious is fine, damning is not. I suppose that's what I mean. And no preferential treatment of one over the other, I have had this on another 'local' forum I frequented. 'He's my best friend so I will let him do that but not you' , or 'He's a mod so he's allowed to do this'. Of course in any community there will be some sort of hierarchy. But not to the point of favoritism. I hope I'm putting this across okay.
