We only had a specific logic homework help section at old PF. Help on other types of homework wasn't allowed. We do have the learning centre including...

If you want to learn about something, probably the best way is to start a discussion on the topic. Just don't make it look like you want other posters...

The guideline for that section : "If you'd like to query a philosophical point that's not easily Googled and that is not a homework assignment, start ...

@"José Ricardo" If you have a short philosophical question, the answer to which can't be easily googled, you can ask it where Michael pointed to. We d...

There isn't one.

It seems a fairly clear-eyed analysis to me. But not a reason to give up. All the suggestions are doable with a little political will.

Sounds like Dragon's Den. You didn't have to go on TV, did you?

We'll have to ban angel Sapientia first I think. :sad:

That's a relief.

Oh, OK then. There better be some tea and scones afterwards... *grumble*

It's not so much that we have ethical rules but that we have an ethical imagination extrapolated from and moulded by the sum of interactions both that...

I don't know what you're referring to. You can report posts you think don't comply with the guidelines.

You might get away with that in the Lounge, but you don't get to do it in the philosophical discussions.

Deleted most of those. Agreed.

Moved.

*Shudder* :scream:

No problem. :up:

OK, I think it can find a place for it.

The only regularly active discussion of yours I know of is "Welcome to TPF". I've moved that into "About TPF", so that it can be seen on the front pag...

They wouldn't appear on the default front page unless they were active anyway, Tiff, and #metoo isn't. Moving it will have no effect at the moment.

No. Sensible idea. Done. @"Blue Lux" Please stick to one of the two we have.

Sure, but if we called it, say, "The Marquis de Sade's Den of Iniquity", would that not lend the site a certain Je ne sais quoi?.

He's nothing if not Bannoistic.

No worries. Probably if we changed the name of the lounge to "The Secret Space" or something mysterious sounding, nobody would mind its discussions no...

@"Sapientia" I've moved the Lounge up the categories list, so you don't have to scroll after selecting categories on mobile (or on PC to see the full ...

CNN covering this type of story is a fairly new development. Kudos to them.

State sponsored terrorism? https://edition.cnn.com/2018/08/17/middleeast/us-saudi-yemen-bus-strike-intl/index.html

There's nothing to stop anyone else starting a competing serious discussion on Trump in politics and current affairs though. If it's serious enough an...

Fixed. My thought is that considering the OP and the subject of the discussion, it doesn't rise to that level.

The point of taking it to the Lounge was to take it away from the more serious political discussions due to the nature of its OP. Have you read the OP...

And having just looked through the political discussions in the politics and political philosophy categories, I don't see such major issues, and we do...

The Trump discussion is in the lounge not in politics for a reason, and it's contextualised by its OP like all discussions. So, it's not against the r...

A lot of us probably spend too much time on politics, discussions of which tend to be more contentious and less charitable than other areas. But what ...

Or take the piss like Banno. That can work too...

OK, I know you really have a lot on your plate at the moment.

Political discussions tend to be tense and contentious, Tiff. That's their nature. If you choose to become involved, expect people to speak their mind...

Q.E.D. :D I am.

Can you quote the part of your post that explains that? As far as I can see, no matter what we do on this some people are going to like it and some ar...

It was a perfect example of @"Banno" taking the piss.

We didn't initiate the idea of changing. That came from members. We responded by polling and making suggestions, and that process led here. The commun...

Pleasantly surprised to find this up on the tubes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e6x5j_JKWA

I've added the following though to the welcome message for new members: Please note: Lounge category posts are not included on the default front page,...

Unfortunately, that minor irrationality is baked in as far as I can see. Let's charitably call it a quirk and hope no-one notices.

I expect it will stay as is with the change in place for the foreseeable. I have swapped the category positions of the Lounge and Feedback though, as ...

Banned @"wellwisher" for low post quality. The camel-spine rupturing straw being a post from which here follows an excerpt: "Since these two sets of f...

:lol: Follow the yellow wig road...

Ya welcome :up: And this is looking like the way it will stay (keeping the lounge at the bottom of recent discussions isn't possible with this softwar...

This discussion was merged into Donald Trump

Well, I've just unpinned the latest fundraiser as it's run its course. I feel like we should make the presence of the lounge apparent anyhow, especial...
