New Religion (WorldViews) Board Needed

If the poliboard wants to restrict purely religious threads because there is an over abundance of them, then that might be a sign that a Beliefs, Religion, or Worldviews board is needed.
How about calling it a "Worldviews" or a "Spiritual Beliefs" Board.

Yep, Tigah nerfed it. My thread was POLITICAL.

Since when did the admins on this board subscribe to silencing free speech? ESPECIALLY on the poli-board.

Now that is rediculous and I half expected it when I first saw the sticky...
Despite of the fun I have with the "LOOK AT THIS MIRACLE" threads, I can understand the lock down on them.
But why the smack down on most of the remotely religious threads? What was wrong with the regional politics/religion intereffects thread? Took off a spot of anti-Obama/pro-Obama cross sniping from the front page? Because that is essentially all what the poli board will become...it isn't like it is a forum for higher political thought, mostly cut and pastes from outside bias sources.
Place should be more proberly renamed "Debate Forum" than "Political"

Politics and religion go together. Religion and society are connected. Threads that touch on religion and have a political or social angle are welcomed on the Political board.
However, threads that are little more than "look how great my religion is," or "look how bad your religion is" belong on the O-T.
No one is saying those threads can't be posted.
They just don't belong on the Political Board.

What prompted my reply was a thread inviting thoughts about the effects religion has on politics. It was whacked from the first post.
I understand the mytigger posts that try to invent miracles...but what is wrong with that one?

He used the new thread you mentioned to try to circumvent the rules and gain support for his cause. This is not a democracy and we don't need the bandwidth being clogged up by people who can't follow the rules.

Nevermind.

why was theunknownknight banned???? for simply stating his opinion on what is needed to make this site better? that's jacked up.
we definitely need a "worldview" board...either that or get rid of this ridiculous new "rule" about a ban on religious talk on the poli board...something has to be done...

If you cannot freely express your views in a open debate, then none of the boards on tigerdroppings are really worth it. From what I have read on here over the last few months it seems that if you disagree with the administrators points of view you are simply banned. A lot of posters on these boards like to use the term "Germans". Well it seems the powers that be on tigerdroppings whack free speech just like the best represive regimes.

Excuse me? I haven't started or used any new threads on the poli-board to circumvent any rules you may be trying to enforce.

He's not talking about you. neither am I.
Were you suspended? No. The person he's talking about was.

Sorry, he named me in his post and you referenced back to him as "that poster".
I'm hoping the old lady will give you some tonight and you'll wake up in a better mood tomorrow.
