(I will make a direct reply to this at some point, but I want to squeeze this in at the bottom.)
As part of this drive, I feel like Section 4 of the Constitution is currently... worryingly anti-posting, or at least not very pro-discussion. So I put together a rough draft of what I'm calling the Discussion Amendment, replacing the current Section 4 entirely. Comments, improvements, corrections and contradictions thoroughly welcome!

Section Four: On Thy Topics Of Discussion
16. The PPC community thrives on discussion, and wastes away in its absence. When you post a thread on the Board, try to do so in a way that encourages discussion and interaction - and when you reply, do the same thing!
17. That doesn't mean the PPC is Serious Business! Silliness and insanity are welcome here — even encouraged. Feel free to leave your sanity at the door. Most PPCers do.
18. On the other hand, serious discussion is ALSO welcome, nay, encouraged, here. Odd, ne? "Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes."
19. Don’t worry about your interests being too eclectic for anyone else to be interested in — history has proven time and again that there probably is someone who shares your interests. And on the off chance that there isn’t, there’s somebody who wants to start!
20. There is no Article 20.
21. Randomness is seldom a bad thing, as long as Da Rules are followed. (For an example, see Article 20.)
22. Feel free to tell us all about stories, websites, news, or anything else you think will be of interest to the PPC at large. We're always in dire need of entertainment, intellectual stimulation, and good fanfic. And don't just drop us a link - wax lyrical on what you've found, why it's interesting, and any questions it creates. Don't be afraid to quote (but don't make the quote stand in for your own words!).
23. The PPC has always been about having a good laugh at badfic, so feel free to talk about it, and post links if you find something you think is worth sharing (but not just links... see Article 22). If there's a thread about badfic on the top half of the front page already, go ahead and add to that - otherwise, feel free to create your own! (And when replying to a thread about badfic, or reviewing a badfic, please remember Article 2!)
