Moderator's Announcements and House Rules (please read before posting)

[kartoonista]

Here are some items of agreement to be followed with regards to the general behavior in this forum:

• • Use the search engine before starting a new thread.
  
  • Read through first two pages of a thread to avoid starting a new thread of similar topic.
  
  • Make sure that the thread you're starting is in the correct forum as this forum deals mainly with the discussion of philosophy, theology, and the sciences.
  
  • Redundant threads that have garnered enough replies to get a discussion going will be merged with the earlier existing thread, otherwise the said thread will only be locked with a link directing new posters to the old thread.
  
  • For members who want their threads to be turned into a poll, just send the forum Moderator a private message with a request to do so.
  
  • Respect other people's beliefs and religion. Avoid making fun of and posting sarcastic remarks that can be construed as a deliberate insult on the other party. Please carry the discussions in a peaceful, mature, and orderly manner. This item is for strict complance.
  

Offenders will be given two warnings by the Moderator. Repeat offenders will be dealt with accordingly.

just a heads-up guys, new regulations for posting, particularly pertaining to flaming, trolling, bashing, vulgarity and inappropriate content are underway, and they are much more specific and stricter than what the user agreement describes.
