an off topic, less moderated 18+ section?

[1cock2hens]

There are AT LEAST two current active religious threads. Let's see them locked if religion has no place here.

agreed and not because i'm anti-religion (I am a southern Baptist from way back) I just think we should all be moderated the same...


I have repeatedly flagged the religious threads and they haven't done a thing..

I got a post removed for saying--I kid you not-- you shouldn't call the police on people who weren't breaking the law.
I pointed out it was a terrible experience having the police knock on your door in the middle of the night, and APPARENTLY, that was too much for sensitive eyeballs to read.

Like Texas Kiki said, it get very annoying to see constant thread battles, if people were given an outlet it would reduce them greatly.. also I cant even joke with people that i joke with daily and call them a funny name like turd box (yeah "turd box" got me a warning).

I'm not looking to join a site like reddit, its perverse at times, thats not at all the atmosphere i was advocating, I just want to be able to talk

I think you should take the warning as a sign no offense and this will never happen again. Freedom of speech does not mean abuse it.

I think several people have been flagged when they were not guilty. It kinda made up for the times we got away with getting out of hand.

its interesting to me that the decision was made in minutes, how can an informed decision that directly affects so many people be seriously contemplated in such a short amount of time.. would be cool if we could vote on it.

I think you are making some fundamental errors.
This site hasn’t at any time represented itself as a democracy. Someone owns the site and therefor sets the rules. Don’t like, then don’t use it.

If religious content direct or implied was banned 80% of the members here would be effected. Don’t like it then ignore it.

This site is about chickens and the ethos is this is a happy friendly environment where you can come and talk about your pets and have fun with like minded people. It isn’t set up as adult or educational.

Fwiw I don't think that @1cock2hens is saying/meaning anything about "adult adult" topics.

I have made no errors.

it says specifically in the forum rules to avoid sensitive subjects like religion. its not my rule but i do believe if you are going to have a rule it should be enforced equally.

exactly i have clarified several times that i would just like to have a section dedicated to stuff like politics, religion, philosophy etc where people could talk freely and not worry about influencing young minds with ideas that there parents may not want them exposed to. this stuff is already being talked about for all to see
