The guidelines for our little community forum

We have one golden rule that must be obeyed, failure to follow this one simple rule will result in all of your posts being deleted, this one rule is NO TROLLS, trolls will not be accepted in the community.

These are a set of important guidelines, the consequences for breaking them may vary depending which forum moderator is in charge. The guidelines are as follows:

  • No personal attacks - Personal attacks are unacceptable
  • Post your sources - To keep things fair, and people honest, you must provide the sources and evidence for your claims
  • Post credible sources (I.E No Wikia, Wikipedia, Conservipedia, Answers in Genesis, etcetera) - Using biased sources to back up your arguments is invalid
  • No logical fallacies (I.E No strawmen, red-herrings, guilt by association, etcetera) - such rhetorical tactics are disingenuous and divert attention from the argument.
  • Use correct grammar - Grammar is important, especially when you're trying to deliver arguments to other people.
  • Don't create irrelevant posts - Don't post anything completely irrelevant to the topic.
  • Don't falsify evidence - Deception is highly unacceptable

I'm not so sure the is such a thing as an unbiased source. The moment something is written by humans it is biased unless they are pure results.

True, it may be a little difficult to find a truly unbiased source of information, but we have to draw the line at what is acceptable because there is a lot of junk information out there.

It is more of a oriented towards posting totally unconfirmed information from disputed and probably biased sources rather than than being a philosophical analysis of the word or idea.

Basically check if it's true before posting and don't believe in everything that is posted on the Internet especially on Wikipedia.

It's a 'no sources that say Obama is a Muslim Nazi from Kenya' type of thing. Blatantly silly stuff any sane person would dismiss without a second thought.

Cite creationist stuff all you want, though I'd suggest everyone avoid the topic of religion at least in the near future... for obvious reasons.
