This is a notice to all those that actively participate or have been involved with the discussions related to the splitting of the Spirituality and Philosophy forum over the past month.
After having reviewed the reaction and material being put forth in the respective split forums, it has been decided that we will re-integrate spirituality with philosophy to allow the stringent debate of various philosophical and spiritual topics so long as there is absolutely zero personal attacks or flames towards any specific user(s). This revitalized Spirituality & Philosophy forum will be moderated in similar fashion as the Politics, Activism, & Law forum has been for quite some time. Namely, discussion, debate, and question is encouraged; but there will be no tolerance for personal attacks, harassment, defamatory remarks, or flames.
Consequently, our newest forum that went by the name of Spirituality, Mysticism, & the Paranormal, will henceforth be known as Religion, Mysticism, & the Paranormal. This forum may embody similar topics as the Spirituality & Philosophy forum, however its intention is to allow a more tolerant style of discussion conducive to hypothetical matters that cannot be defined with cold hard fact. Thus, this forum will have a more extensive rule set prohibiting not only personal attacks and flames, but postings which appear to harbor a primary intent to attack or disprove the ideas under discussion. Obviously, this forum will be susceptible to considerably more subjective moderation, so if you have a history of getting under the skin of other users or staff members, or simply enjoy being confrontational, this forum is not for you.
We can think of these changes as allowing alternate avenues for both the literal skeptics (S&P) and the mystic dreamers (RM&P).
