Thirdly, I don't want PhysicsGRE.com to be a free yet valuable resource for people who can ignore inappropriate comments
Ehhhh??
It reinforces the attitude that the physics community is a boys’ club. This site does not exist in isolation. For example, you may not realize this because I haven’t posted my stats, but the schools I am considering overlap with other members of this forum, including RG.
400nm, this is going to happen anyway. You can't control what RG thinks or where he goes to school. I'm not saying it's right, but it's out of your hands. The only thing you can do is try to convince him that he's wrong and this is exactly why an open policy is much more valuable then censorship. Censoring this website won't make these problems go away; it will simply ignore them. You will be blissfully unaware that you are going to school with these people, but they will still be there. Better to confront the problems now in anonyminity where you might be able to convince someone they are wrong than to confront them in person at your school and possibly suffer persecution because of your views. If you are willing to that it's great, and you should stand up for what you believe, but it's far safer here.
I have noticed as of late that RG has been conspicuously absent from this forum. While I cannot speak for him I suspect the changes in policy probably play a large part in this. Quizivex is also on "sabbatical" and I will probably leave soon after I have said all that I think needs to be said.
However, I don't subscribe to the notion that the solution for dealing with inappropriate comments is to simply ignore them.
Maybe we should censor books, too, since some peole seem incapable of choosing "appropriate" material to read?
The objective of PhysicsGRE.com is to be a free yet valuable resource for prospective and current physics graduate students. We strive to provide an environment that encourages and enables people to share their knowledge and learn from others. We want people to feel good about recommending PhysicsGRE.com to their friends, classmates, and students.
Truthfully if I had to recommend a site for GRE
solutions than Yosun has the better site, hands down. If I wanted to recommend a site to discuss physics graduate school, discussion of study tactics, etc. this site is the best of the two.
I would not recommend a site to my friends that was under that was under constant moral policiing. It has been unecessary to date and remains unnecessary. If you want a place where children can safely discuss physics without having their virgin ears penetrated by obscenities then you are well on your way to realizing that goal.
