Religion Policy.

[wildcard]

Ok, I'm not an ircop, but there are a few things to point out here...

Does this mean that one can not speak about the topic of religion at all?

No, but when in-depth conversations of religion occur, they can often lead to arguments (same as politics). So if people want to discuss/debate/argue religion, they can do so in a separate room where all the users know what they're getting into.

I also don't see how you can can uphold the use of excessive swearing, over a religious conversation.

We do ban people for excessive or abusive swearing.

Since my time here, I have rarely seen anyone in authority even uphold any policies about racism.

You must not have been paying attention. Sadly this occurs too frequently and it is always something we ban for.

is it not a better policy, that if the conversation gets out of hand, we just curb it?

Yes, that is still what will occur in the main rooms, but now there is also the option of a room where people can go if they want to discuss religion at length and in detail.

religion is what a personal path which is cool but when they use it as ego and use it to go ggrrr with this is bad and what we try to stop the bad stuff. With racism it will always be stopped it is not acceptable as we are a multi culture  site we each must help to make it stop intolerance on all levels.
