i assume "be civil" just means that you can't call people "dipshit asshole dumbass idiot" and things akin to that, i.e needless name calling, calling out perceived problems as long as done civilly, or being rude, but in a civil discussed manner, is i think fair game.
i.e. i could call this a stupid post because it covers what should be clearly demonstrated by common moderation history, i.e. these kinds of threads stay around for a while, these kinds of comments tend to stick around, and that's generally good enough reason to keep moderating as you are, precedent is a very strong thing.
but i couldn't just call you a dumbass because you should know this, and therefore you must be the most uneducated person in the history of humanity. Because that's not civil.
