[QUOTE="Num7, post: 102622, member: 1"] We used to have a lot of active skeptics and debunkers on Paranormalis years ago, so I understand Opmmur's concerns when it comes to that matter. The rules and the way we're moderating the forum evolved a lot over the years. Just look at how many paranormal enthusiasts we have, compared to skeptics and debunkers. It worked. Right now, the debunking thread prefix is used on rare occasions, which is a sign we might be ready to get rid of it. When updating the rules, I didn't bring my analysis as far as to consider removing the debunking prefix. I didn't question if whether or not we still need it, or whether or not it still make sense that our paranormal community is giving some room for [B]skepticism and debunking[/B] in the first place. Maybe we're ready. I'm open to the possibility of removing the debunking prefix. I don't think it would harm the forum, as our target audience isn't skeptics, it's [B]paranormal enthusiasts[/B]. The little room needed to question / debate something more intensively would take place in debate threads, obviously. It would not discourage the expression of opinions in regular discussions, as such discussions would still work the same. Regular discussions are the right place to voice your opinion [U]in a civil and respectful manner[/U], no matter if you agree with the original poster or not. Thank you for your valuable feedback. :) I'm going to think about this and listen to you guys if you still have thoughts to share on the matter. [/QUOTE]
