New Posting Policy

Big Plans for 2006
Welcome members to a new year. ToeQuest has big plans for 2006 including moving the web site to a larger server, upgrading to vBulletin 3.5, starting a community newsletter, a new photo gallery, some professional logo/header work, more flash technology integrated into the website, more quizzes, a redesigned study hall, new educational tools, and much more.

New Policy
One image that ToeQuest will cultivate during 2006 is that of a professional website for both researchers and the layman, that has a relaxed, friendly, non-intimidating atmosphere. With that goal in mind, I have made some policy changes in regard to what is acceptable and unacceptable content in the ToeQuest Forums. One area I'll be cracking down on are members who claim to know the Theory of Everything, the meaning of life, or claim to have all the answers and do this with a patronizingly superior attitude. This attitude will no longer be appropriate in these forums as it causes antagonism, angst, and unease in our community. Offending posts will be removed, and members will be banned for repeated violations of this policy.

Summary of the New Rules
The following is a summary of the new rules that members are expected to follow:

1. Do not claim that you have discovered the Theory of Everything unless you're willing to share your knowledge with the community. If you don't wish to share then don't tell. This is the "no share no tell" policy.
2. Your posts should be professional and respectful. If you are angered by someone's post, do not respond in a negative way. You should report a bad post and the moderator will review and delete the offending post, if needed. You may also lower the poster's reputation.
3. Do not talk down to other members of the community.
4. Do not argue over who knows the TOE or who has the better TOE. This is juvenile.
5. Do not create antagonism in your posts.

Posts will be removed that violate these rules and members will receive a warning. Members will be banned who make multiple violations of these rules. These rules are meant to build us a stronger community that can be more successful in our quest.

Hmmmmm ... perhaps we could clear this one up a bit better .... If two members are discussing an alternative view .... and are aware that it does not align with physical facts or evolution ..... and this is pointed out to them .... but they issue a nolle prosequi ..... then you have no further right to post in their discussion ..

Do you understand what I am saying ... regardless of right or wrong in the eyes of science ... members can and will be allowed to discuss as they wish to and have the freedom from intervention from others who do not agree with them ... provided that they make it clear that other views are not required.

Drift is an example of someone who wishes to pursue his own theme regardless of other views ... his thread is in the public square and if you read it without 'dismissiveness' then you will learn how closely it aligns with materialist views. In any case it is his to pursue without hindrance.

If you don't agree with him ... and you have made your point ... then it is etiquette to leave that thread alone ?

Just be like Solomon, take a sword and cut the issue in two, where you each own half and it will solve the issue and prevent the destruction of a friendship at the same time as preserving it……smiles...

Kind regards Mikal

There's a difference between what one might not want to hear and straight outright insults.
