> Were you being facetious when you spoke of extensive training, cs? If not, why haven't we all been trained extensively about the workings of Babble or Babble ethics? What would deputies need to know that we all wouldn't need to know?Not in least, Toph. I trained for over a year before I was released upon the boards as a deputy. It involved being presented with posts - out of context - which we then would have to determine whether they met civility guidelines. It was a rigorous procedure, and I find that I continue to scrutinize my own expressions here - quite often to the point where I simply don't post when I don't feel that I'm able to do so civilly.
