I think one of the things which usually create a lot of tension and bad blood is click bait articles being used to create threads / topics. Similar to Gaf and Era I think it would be good if thread topics can be vetted based on sources of the article / info linked.
Once vetted, if more questions need to be asked to the OP they can or the new thread can be denied and a reason given to the OP.
The best way to create a safe space is vetting the topics as they often encourage toxic behaviours.
Sometimes rewording /phrasing can go a long way and mods can help do this before publishing a new topic.
