Re: Philosophy Forums Rules
The classification used is the same one as the moderation queue. Until you have 5 approved on-topic posts, you cannot send PMs and any new posts on the forum you make will be held in a moderation queue until approved by a moderator.
"The mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master."
I believe spiritual freedom (a.k.a. self-discipline) manifests as bravery, confidence, grace, honesty, love, and inner peace.

Re: Philosophy Forums Rules
How long before my posts are approved by a moderator? They seem to have disappeared into a black hole. I posted two in 2013, and about 4 or 5 in the last few days.
I know people can be busy etc, but just curious as to whether I should wait and see, or keep posting.

Thanks. Finally up and running. It would seem that my posts appear on the date they were posted. If there are many posts after that date, the approved post is not viewed as recent. Still this is a good forum, so I will stick with it for a while.DoubtnThink wrote:Hi, Making lots of posts in the hopes of doing the right thing. No feedback so it feels like talking to myself. I suppose it discourages anyone but determined contributors. This feels like another post into the void....

Re: Philosophy Forums Rules
I believe that editing is limited to within a certain period of time after the post was submitted. I'm not sure what that timeframe is though. Perhaps the site admin can clarify.3uGH7D4MLj wrote:Is there a limit on edits?

This site is not meant to be a popularity contest. This is a quality philosophy site and has no need or use for such things.
I would cancel my account immediately upon the event of a "like" button appearing on this site.

Re: Philosophy Forums Rules
It was just a suggestion. If you are so vehemently opposed to the idea, let it go. But then the rule against saying something like "I agree" should be re-considered.Spiral Out wrote:I said this before when the idea of a "like" button was proposed last time and I'll say it again now: I am absolutely opposed to the idea of anything resembling a "like" button being implemented under any circumstances. I think it would seriously degrade the quality of this site.

Re: Philosophy Forums Rules
Simply posting "I agree" adds nothing to the topic. Clicking on a "like" button also adds nothing to the topic, and turns it into some type of popularity contest with no ultimate goal. It would be pointless.

Re: Philosophy Forums Rules
I feel similarly. It does seem a bit juvenile to just "like" & not explain why.Spiral Out wrote:I said this before when the idea of a "like" button was proposed last time and I'll say it again now: I am absolutely opposed to the idea of anything resembling a "like" button being implemented under any circumstances.

BTW, SpiralOut, you rock! (I hope that's in line with the rules. ). Seriously, I appreciate, you and others who help this forum along.
