Sure one could. Would we all re-register? I don't know what the content of the new board would be, so I don't know how big a deal it would be.
But I post here *because* of the civility guidelines. I like them. And I wouldn't want to accidentally stumble into a board that would make me feel differently about this place or the posters here. So I would prefer that if I accidentally click on this board (or am tempted to peek) I'd get a reminder that I need to request authorization.
And if you don't mind having one board with stuff you don't allow on other boards, and don't require informed consent to get there, why not just allow it on all boards? For example, mild cursing doesn't really bother me, but if you think others would find it offensive, why would it be different to have it on a different board, without requiring that someone consent to being exposed to it.
Perhaps at least a screen when you click on the board that you have to click through to get there.
