Rules for the new progressive section

[sentipente]

It just occurred to me. Are the voting restrictions for the main forum also in force for the sub-forums?

Good question. I don't know. I just made the poll and indicated that voting would be open to all who consider themselves non-Traditional or Evangelical or Progressive Adventists. I had forgotten about the date restriction in the main forum. Does it matter here?

Here is a link to the poll:

This is not what I agreed to when I said I wanted a Progressive subforum.

 

[sentipente]

There is no way to restrict who reads the sub-forum and the truly "devoted" Trads won't post here by their own choice. However, make your case. The vote has not been taken.

 

[Sophia7]

Yes, I really doubt that many of them would want to argue in the PSDA sub-forum. Oh, and flaming will not be tolerated under any circumstances, whether the rule proposal passes or not.

I am not sure why the poll would apply here. Have your say Senti.

I am concerned about my vote. It is the vote that is restricted. I have been having my say (and more).

We will have to get some CF clarification, but at one time I thought sub-forums, especially those deriving from divisions, would be able to make their own rules.

I imagine the traditionals want that as much as we do.

We could always start yet another poll on the question

But I think your vote would count.

 

[Sophia7]

If we can make our own rules for our sub-forum, I don't see why we can't make our own eligibility requirements for voting.

If I can study and discuss with Stormy at BSDA and we still love each others as christian brothers, I dont see why you would think that anyone would not want or should be shut out of the 'PSDA sub-forum'. Everyone should be allowed in, but PSDA views or concerns would be the norm, just as if you went to a enviromentalist, Obama for President, or gay and lesbian, etc.. forum, everyone could give their thoughts on the matter, but the issues would be what would concern enviromentalist, Obama for President, or gay and lesbian, etc...
