well, on my forums i allow open discussion as long as it's done in the right place. I have an 18+ section which is by request only so unless you've requested it, you dont see it in searches and can't navigate to it.
what this allows is thsoe who are willing to accept more responsibility in discussing the taboo topics to do so. I moderate that section a lot more lax and only step in when it gets over the top and people are getting butthurt.
I do not currently have a "poster of the week" as I did consider it. I dont have scripts to do it and was going to do it all by my decision of who i thought had the best posts. However I decided this was not the best thing in my particular forums as I don't want useless spam to fill the board.
