Hi All... thanks for your patience while we've tried to hash out some new forum guidelines. Just to bring everyone up to date, the Mod+ thing was kinda working and kinda not working. The goal was to move discussion past the same old arguments and generate new discussion and thought. And we had some of that. But, we also had a lot of the discussions going down well worn tracks/ruts. Re-hashing isn't always a bad thing, but we oughta be able to choose.
So, here's what we've come up with.
This forum is still the place for hashing out debates about science and spirituality from a prove-it-all-from-the-ground-up perspective. If you're generally skeptical of the material presented in the Skeptiko podcast you're probably a good fit for this forum.
If you've been here for a while, and it becomes clear to us that all... or almost all... of your posts fall under this general description, then we may ask you to just hang out here and let the debate come to you rather than go looking for it :)
As with everything else, this is open to discussion, re-assessment and modification... but I think we oughta give this new way a try.
