Scoops, it's not a question of respect. We like things the way they are, at least in terms of the freedom we have to spiral topics out of control if the mood strikes us.
If you want to curtail that freedom, that is your right and privilege as owner.
We, your faithful subjects will vote on any changes with our mice (mouses?). If we like them, we stay . . . if not, we go.
Every owner has gone through this, at some point, and it always seems to go back to how the serfs want things. I do not know you, and vice versa, but I think you need to tread carefully here, before upsetting the established order. New members will adapt, or not. It's up to them. But, as others have said, this isn't going to be P5's or 2+2 anytime in the near future.
Me? As a lovely woman once whispered in my ear . . .
