I've seen a few who openly flaunt they are violating the DIR rules and admit they don't care, but generally and overwhelmingly most times it's accident.
This is what has happened to me. I typically like to browse the new topics and you can't see the sub-forum from the box. I have got my hand caught in the cookie jar by not paying attention to where the thread is actually at.
That's my excuse.
Think up your own!
I have accidentally posted in DIR multiple times, because I approach thread viewing from the recent posts section and sometimes miss the DIR label until I've posted, then quickly delete the comment. So this would be super handy to prevent it.
As for trolls, plenty of rule 1 and 3 and 9 and 10 violators have reformed and decided they wanted to participate productively. Those that don't have the chance to change, and those with especially egregious posts can be handled in a faster way with mod consensus.
I'm not too worried about it. We already have pretty much one of the friendliest atmospheres for religious discussion around. And if there's someone you think the mods are being too lenient with, you can place them on ignore and they won't be your problem again.
There is more than one cookie jar, dammit!

So say's 99.99999% of all forum members. What makes your own claim valid?

I have selected neopaganism from the DIR selections on my member page. When I go to the Neopaganism DIR, I am told I have insufficient privilege to participate. If I cannot participate in discussions about my own beliefs, there is no point in me participating in any discussion.
As far as I know, and as far as I've explored on-line, this is absolutely the best forum for religious discussion on-line there is. Constant whining about the volunteers who run anything will just end in those volunteers quitting, and hence we have no other forum quite like this one. Other forums have impatient moderation, no moderation, and either descend to no discussion or crazy mud-slinging.
THANK YOU to all of our moderators and Brent. Without you guys we would have no place to discuss religion.

It's true @Revoltingest. A veritable fountainhead! And you know I am an expert.
Trust me, or I will tell you a long fascinating story, complete with smells and tastes.

The changes are still in their earliest stages. The administration is discussing how to proceed from here and which other changes to implement to tune up the system.
Since DIRs are a significant subset of all forums on RF, further changes are not going to happen or be finalized overnight, so feedback in the meantime would be far more helpful than anything else.

That is true, the are a lot of accidental postings in DIRs... but DIR's are also a magnet for real trolls.

Feel free to call me stupid, or born before the millenials, but I've spent the last 5-8 minutes attempting to locate the place in my profile where I can actually choose .... this may have been posted elsewhere in this (or other) threads, but once again, I cannot seem to find it.
*sigh*
A helpful STICKY post, perhaps? Or something to help us old codgers who used to program in FORTRAN using punch cards....

Check the Personal Details page. Page down some.
Go to your profile --> Personal Details --> scroll down to the "DIR Forum Access:" field. Check the box(es) as appropriate.
I'm sorry but you do not follow any Abrahamic religion, that's just playing the system. You can't be both Abrahamic and LHP, I suggest you chose one or the other.
