I'm not sure there is an inherent problem with AVRT on the Forum, just with a small, albeit vocal, minority of its adherents. I think AVRT is an interesting, thought-provoking philosophy that is worth hearing, even if one doesn't choose to go down the AVRT path. There are plenty of AVRT'ers who seem able to explain it to newcomers in a non-dogmatic manner & participate in discussions about other techniques without feeling the need to shout them down or "call out the AV".
SC has a very reasonable set of rules (
https://www.soberrecovery.com/forums...7-welcome.html (Welcome)) but it seems little is done when these are infringed. I'm sure it's readily apparent to Mods who the very few persistent offenders are from complained-about posts & other reporting. I really think that creating an AVRT subforum would just serve to move the behaviour rather than reduce/eliminate it, whilst at the same time depriving the community of a more positively-framed AVRT perspective.
