    I voted no. To "steal" iNurturetheOdd's idea from another thread, I think panic posts should be allowed to be posted anywhere but have a P: in the title much like people do with off topic posts by putting an OT:... That way people are warned and at that point they can choose if they want to read them or not.

    GREAT IDEA!!!! Love it sure let's put a P in front of the post, again as long as they don't get ignored. I do think that if you can't control yourself to not read a panic post then what can we do, it's not our responsiblity to sheild them, if I'm having a panicky day and I can't read a panic post I can always tell by the title which are and I just don't read them period.

    Still amazing idea! and I will start on it, if I need to post a panic thread I will put a P

    also Jen06 - no one on here said you can't write out the words, I never saw any rules saying not to, if you are making a post and you want to sure go for it. I use the abbreviations out of respect and it's different cause you can choose not to read a panic post but on this site since it is what we are dealing with most posts even positive may have a few words like v* or whatever in them and therefore even a non-panicky post could upset those who can't read or type the word.

    I agree though If someone can't type the word then don't use v* if someone can an wants to then type it there are not rules saying otherwise. Plus I also use the abbreivations just to be fast

    Honestly though Jen06 it's a totally different issue cause even non panic posts could have those words in them, let's keep on the topic of a panic forum or not, introducing another debate might not be a good idea
