| re: So what would be the rules/guidelines of a Religion & Philosophy Board? if there was a religion/science board would the world end? This post was edited on 4/20 at 6:52 pm Reply • Back to Top |
| Here's a rule. Posters that bitched enough to cause this mess aren't allowed on the new board. If they go there they give up their right to RA. If they go and RA they get banned. You would think that would go without saying, but apparently they couldn't control themselves from clicking on threads. Why should a board be any different? Reply • Back to Top |
quote: It is if those discussions are not allowed anywhere else...obviously. It'd be like saying we couldn't talk about the NBA anywhere on the current site. So no threads are created. Ok, well if a board were to open up all those "non-threads" about the NBA would magically appear. Reply • Back to Top |
| Would Tai Chi threads go on the Religion board or Fitness board? Reply • Back to Top |

quote: I agree. If a person is continually RA'ing religious threads, and let's say I'm an Admin hypothetically: I respond by going in and looking at the RA's. If the RA's by this user appear to not be flame worthy and this user is not actively participating on the board I'd PM them "If you don't like the board...stop going there" Reply • Back to Top |
quote: What about this... SciTech / Philosophy Board - A board dedicated to discussions on technology, science, evolution, existentialism, and associated philosophical inquiries. Debates encouraged. Religion Board - A board dedicated for discussions purely on religion. Prayer requests, honest questions on Christianity, biblical discussions, discussions on church policies, world religions, etc. Debates not encouraged. Thus, theists and believers who just wanted to discuss their religion, or pose a question, could do so without the possibility of being subtly mocked or openly castigated, while all those interested in debating could frequent the other board. Just an idea. This post was edited on 4/20 at 6:54 pm Reply • Back to Top |
| Actually, I think having a board devoted to philosophy would be something I would be very active in. I didn't post other threads as much before because I felt posters on the other boards would tire of it. Reply • Back to Top |
| A "worldviews" board would cover all philosophy/religion and could incorporate science. ETA: "Worldviews and Science" board This post was edited on 4/20 at 6:56 pm Reply • Back to Top |
| No need for a science board, already ties in to philosophy and religion. Reply • Back to Top |
| Then I say simply call it a "worldviews" board Reply • Back to Top |
| It's just that you have numerous parties at work here. You have the theists, who enjoy genuine discussion of religion and want to openly engage in conversation on various religious topics without arguing with other users. You have the avid atheists who seek out and destroy any thread pertaining to religion in an effort to humiliate the religious posters and establish intellectual dominance. You have the trolls, who could also be members of the two previous groups, but will post and create threads specifically to incite those with opposing viewpoints. And a dedicated board to host all of this would simply result in a paroxysm of continuous conflict and rage. Reply • Back to Top |

quote: Don't see how this is an issue with the proposed ideas for the board. quote: I can only think of one, maybe two people who fit this description, and if they habitually break the rules then people can RA them. quote: This happens on every board in this site. The problem is people don't like their religious views questioned, which is the whole point of a philosophy/religion board anyway. Plus egregious are anchored/deleted anyway.

quote: Thank you Chicken!  quote: Meh. I think if it had it's own separate forum it would be better to just ban people who get out of line rather than trying to set too stringent of guidelines. The general rules are good enough regarding flaming, trolling, etc. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: WTF are you talking about? It wasn't a flame or a troll. Just posted an article from today that was newsworthy. People are a tad hypersensitive around here. I've been on the SEC Rant long enough to spot true trolling and flaming. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: You might want to rethink that strategy.  Reply • Back to Top |
| I'd say to make flaming on the board a bannable offense. There is no sense in the constant flaming that goes on in the threads by both groups. Reply • Back to Top |
