Ask the Staff Anything About RF

[YoursTrue]

Go to your profile and select up to three DIRs you would like to use. For reference, unless you identify with the religion of the DIR you may only ask questions. For questions for people in DIRs to which you are not subscribed, use the interfaith Q&A forum.

I see I asked this question again. But I did not understand this answer. I wanted to reply recently to a post but was told I do not have sufficient privileges to do so. Still can't figure out what I need to do.

Is the Divine Bowel Movement Theory still banned?

Yes, at least until the tp crisis is over.

Click your username top right.

Go to personal details.

Scroll down and check the DIRs you want. 3 maximum.

Done.

Any chance the mods could release analytics information?
I'd be interested in seeing what forum usage was like statistically, say in order to compare usage in 2020 to usage in 2015.

We have those stats but I think only admin can access them.

What about a post length warning?

So that we do not have to wait until the site says the post is to long in order to know the post is to long?

Hey, I’ve been here a short while and love the forum! Just curious: Does one have to meet some requirements to create a new discussion topic?

If you are in an open forum, no. Just click on "Post new Thread" when looking at a Forum.

In a DIR, you need to select that DIR as in post #507 before you can post. It may take an hour or so for the server to update. Also, limit your DIR selections to three.

Thanks! So, I see the issue is I’m viewing the site on my phone, and the button isn’t visible. It is visible on my laptop.

Hello. Let's see if I understand this correctly. Any forum that is not in a category with DIR is eligible to start a topic?

Yes. It may be *off topic*, but that is a slightly different matter.

You can start a new thread at any time and under any forum except a DIR you not part of. If you have selected the DIR, you can post there as well.

Now, the forums are divided into a number of overall topics, so you should put any new post in a relevant topic. Also, make sure you don't encourage debate in a discussion forum.

Hi Debatar Slayer.

I'm interested in Gematria and Isopsephy.

Is there a sub forum on those subjects?

How can you tag a person in your post (like: @Name)?

 

[SalixIncendium]

Exactly as you did in your example.

Ah, I have to wait for a second until I get the list.

I'm an impatient *******

And now I also know what happens with bad words. This thread is very helpful.

It even happens to good words with the
misfortune of some text strings within.

What factors contribute to a threads view count?

What factors contribute to a threads view count?

I'm on mobile, but I don't think it tells me views. I'll try to leave it for staff to answer, though.

 

[Harel13]

What factors contribute to a threads view count?

I assume it depends on the number of people viewing the thread. I'm pretty sure the system can differentiate between different members and non-members viewing, i.e., people aren't counted twice, though I may be wrong.
Maybe one of the admins know?
