"No proselytizing."

What the hell is wrong with proselytizing?

There's a section of the board for it.  You know how pagans are though, not fond of having their beliefs challenged.

Oh, a ghetto.

How nice.

Kinda my thoughts on the 'Fight Club' board too.

They are both pretty intentionally designed as ghettos, I won't deny it.

really? I had no idea. None what so ever.

They certainly are OK with challenging other people's beliefs, though.

Just not effectively, so when you argue back and it completely annihilates their position, they BAWWWW for a mod to put you in a corner.

I know if someone comes to me complaining that his or her beliefs are being challenged I'm going to laugh, and then maybe tell them to invite their challenger to Convert Me for a proper ideological brawl.

Curiousity and Wyldkat may have a different approach.
You're a special case, Babylon.  You are offensive even when you don't post.

Well, maybe you should rename Convert Me to something cool-sounding. Like "Reverend Goatbox's Bully Pulpit".

These are all excellent, accurate suggestions.

We're still starting up, things will change as we figure things out.  The forums in question suffered through debate before they were put up, so we'll see what happens.

Oh hey! It's a brand-new forum, yet they have post-count-restricted subforae. With no content, that NO ONE can get into, because it's a brand new forum.  :lulz:

That isn't completely retarded at all.

Also there's already an elite userbase that already has access to the hidden forums, and specifically wanted to keep the raggedy n00bs out.

In all fairness, after I started raising hell things were explained to my satisfaction, and it seems to be a case of simple bungling. I explained why transparency is important, we'll see if it sticks.

I think it's a cool experiment, to try to make a Pagan board that lacks the rigidity and totalitarian hierarchy they're prone to, and I would enjoy seeing it succeed, if for no other reason than that it will suck the life out of every other Pagan board out there.
