If you click on all these threads you will, perhaps, notice a few similarities. One being that all the threads originate with the same poster and the first post all begins with two or three short sentences. Either those sentences are open ended questions, or the title of the thread itself is a question and the first post is simply a couple of sentences expounding upon anticipated replies.
I complain about this because I can recall doing the same thing at one time and having my thread removed along with receiving a PM from a moderator stating that such short topic starters were not allowd in the Philosophy forum. If I wanted to start a thread there I had to present an idea and develop (to some degree) within the first post.
In fact the PM I received from a mod stated thus:
"hello GCT
you know the rules, we aren’t supposed to simply ask questions in the philosophy thread… could you please edit your question so that your opinion (one or two declarative sentences, not simply questions…) on the language question appears before the question is asked?
otherwise I’ll have to move the post… "
I ask you now, has this rule changed, or will these threads I have listed above be removed in the near future?
Thank you.
