[Suggestion] Time for a new rule

[Ciao]

Within the past week there have been several pro/anti theology threads made. As far as I can tell, almost all of them have been deleted. Nothing good has ever come from these threads and I believe it is time for them to go.

I am willing to say that most, if not all, of these threads that have some form of flaming. Flaming is unnecessary, against the rules, and mostly annoying.

Flaming: A flame is an insult or slur directed to a member. Listed below are our definitions of "flames":

Bullying: Is to treat another member in an overbearing or intimidating manner. Such action is strictly forbidden and will not be tolerated. If you feel that someone is bullying you or harassing you in any way you should report it to an admin or global moderator immediately.
Bashing: Is to engage in harsh, accusatory and/or threatening criticism directed to any member of the forum.
Trolling: Trolling is a stupid and annoying behavior on the forum which significantly increases the world load of the staff and tests our tolerance towards the offenders. From this point and on, special actions will be taken to ensure that members who partake in such behavior learn to abide by our rules or stay away from NarutoBase. The administrators have the right to ban members from the community if they feel that they are a threat to the forum.
Insults: Any type of insult directed from one member to another member. Please remember that there is a big difference between "criticism" and "insulting".
Homosexual Slurs: Any type of homosexual slur directed from one member to another member, whether it'd be false claims that the member being flamed is a homosexual, or mocking a homosexual member for their sexual preference.
Sexual Slurs: Any type of sexual slur directed from one member to another member, whether it'd be describing explicit sexual behaviors involving the member being flamed, or typing sexually explicit slurs using the likeness of the member being flamed.
Racial Slurs: Any type of slur directed from one member to another member or ethnic background insulting a specific ethnic background. This is the internet. Be careful of what you post since even if your intentions aren't racist, they can still be perceived that way and will be dealt with in accordance.

These threads could also be considered spam.

Personal Problems Threads: If you have a problem with a fellow member you should solve it by using an instant messenger or, if that is not possible, through visitor and private messages. There is no reason for all members to take part in your problems.

Although NB defines 'Personal Problem Threads' as beef with another member, these theological threads are very much rooted in personal issues/problems. If you like/dislike religion then express your joy or disgust elsewhere. Ranting on a Naruto forum will not convert anyone to your religion or lack thereof.

The only acceptable way I see that religion could be discussed on NB is having an analytical discussion about the manga/anime's religious foundations. By an analytical discussion I mean the threads must be educational or informative. Religious threads that try to condemn, convert, or criticize need to GO!

I dont think there is any loss with these type of threads.ppl are anxious to xpress their feeling about topics like this thats y these type of threads become viral in a very less time.If the members posting in that particular thread r having no prob then y r u having it.those who dislike will just ignore it ,nobody is compelled to visit such type of threads either.discussing about topics like religion openly, just shows the open mindness of the youth of today and its grt.

They do pop up pretty much every day. Make a spot in general discussion for the topic.

 

[Gingka Uzumaki]

Terrible suggestion. People need to get their posts up.
