Because of the increased inflamation of topics surrounding religious and political issues and the work involved for Moderators involved in these topics all topics concerned with Religion and Politics will now be monitored to a greater degree.

This does not mean an infringement on your posting rights, however it means that if you wish to create a topic that is related to these issues I would like to ask all members to notify me when you create a topic. This way I can keep an eye on it.

This is because of the greater likelyhood of flaming and trolling in topics which surround critical and important issues which may go against people's beliefs.

I would like to stress that this has absolutely no significance for anyone wishing to post on these topics in a legitimate fashion. Please leave a coment if you have an questions.

Religion can be one of the most divisive topics of discussion on any message board, so there are a few ground rules that you need to follow when posting.

First and most importantly, respect that other people have views different than yours. You will more than likely not agree with what many people have to say on this board. While the beliefs of others may be wrong in your eyes, that does not give you the right to insult or degrade them.

Calling someone else's beliefs "false", "stupid", or "a fairly tale" is the very definition of trolling. If you can't discuss a particular topic respectfully and fairly, then don't bother posting.

If you've never been, you should stop by www.religioustolerance.org/ and read up on what other people around the world believe.

do we need permission before we post a topic of such? or do we just need to notify you about it?

You don't have to ask for permission or anything, just PM me when you've posted it and I'll keep an eye on it.

I enjoy them too, which is chiefly why they're allowed in the first place. Most forums ban these kind of topics.
