Greetings Wonderful People of RF,

Did you know that we have a set of "hidden" forums called Private Forums? These forums are for, you guessed it, private discussions between members of that group only. Each of them, and the threads within them, are only visible to the members of that specific group. We currently have the following Private Forums available to join:

- Christians
- The Coven
- Eros Room (for discussion of erotica and human sexuality)
- Islam
- Jewish
- Non-Theists Only
- Rainbow Room (for LGBTQ+ folks and straight allies)
- Survivors Circle (for those dealing with or surviving serious health conditions)
- Theists Only

If you identify with any of these groups and would like to join, please send a message to one of our amazing admins:

@ADigitalArtist
@Debater Slayer
@Quagmire
@Quintessence
@Sunstone

Thank you all for making Religious Forums a unique, engaging, and enjoyable place to be!

Can I make a suggestion here?

Would it be more appropriate not to have allies in the Rainbow room?

For example (I don't know about now), when a non-christian ally goes into a christian DIR, he can ask questions but he can't converse. It would be counterproductive to the DIR and some of the rooms based on wanted ally-rights that, by nature of the rooms, is not granted for him to converse.

Ya think?

We don't police those fora quite as rigidly as we do the public ones. That said, we should probably have this discussion amongst the staff.

As a gay person, I see pros and cons. I wouldn't mind having a separate discussion about it. Thanks for the suggestion Unveiled!

You're welcome. I was thinking that when we "apply" to the Rainbow room, I think there is a question or two that asks our reasoning. I'm not sure what it says but maybe discuss just keeping it to lgbtq and don't use the word allies. So, it's not forcing allies not to "apply". Like christian DIR instead of christian and allies DIR.

People can still ask questions but we prefer to encourage use of the Interfaith area and Religious Q&A.

The latter options appear to be the only available.
Belonging to a DIR appears to be necessary for
a post or thread with a question.
I don't plan to do post there. It's just an observation.

Btw, I like not being able to post there.
It has completely eliminated errors & spankings.
The same should be done for other restricted forums.

Your misdeeds are sufficient for some corporal punishment.

I was hoping there might be some kind of "rumpus room" - a no-holds-barred, anything goes kind of thing. RF's version of the Mos Eisley Cantina, where you will not find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

I imagine the problem with that would be once the anything goes comments are made the after-taste of the experience will remain when one goes back topside. Ignore Lists might become too unwieldy. :eek:

What could possibly go wrong in a forum on the internet with no content rules? :p
