Should FST Have A NO Religion Rule For This Section

[Skiz]

Hi,

I have no problem with anybody's religion, but I do have a problem with advertising religion. And that's what happens when a member starts to put certain religious convictions in his signatures:

"Allah is the greatest"
"Allah created all things so he created Jesus, so Allah is the greatest"

What if I were to say to you that you insult me with that signature. According to Christianity, Jesus is the son of God, and God is the creator of all things, and God is not Allah in that religion.

I've attempted explaining that point on multiple occasions but it's like talking to a wall.

I just saw this: look at n° 3. This is an example of something that is written just to stir some riot and to irritate a certain group of people. I believe these kind of posts should be dealth with by some staff member.

As I already said ... I am against religious advertising but this is just an ordinary flame, and thus uncalled for, whatever the reason is.

show me a big love (pics), and the biggest will win.
Staff can take apart aswell, so lest starts lil nabs.

1. 1 only 1 proof with ur name = username.
2. love pics 1.
3. non fag PML(G)

I absolutely agree on 'NO discussion on region related things on FST'. It's extremely easy to lead to flaming...

the poll indicates clearly that the vast majority of fst members doesn't want any religious talk or discussions in the bittorrent section whatsoever.

i do encourage staff to take the consquences and prohibit any form of religious statments specifically.

that should include signatures and avatars, because every religious denomination may be offensive to those who believe in other things.

to all of you muslims who feel the need to let everyone else know how religious you are:

you all want to be a part of internet sites which content is highly contradictory to islamic beliefs.

i'm talking about movies (uh, don't mention porn), music, games etc, that are forbidden and posession is strictly punished in most islamic or arabic countries.

you all want to watch the latest american tv, listen to the newest music and watch films that are not exactly supported by the mullah, right?

you middle class islamic kids should learn how to deal with the culture clash of your traditional religious beliefs and the modernity of western influenced internet sites that have a rather liberal view on things.

if you want to relieve your bad conscience by shouting out that allah is the greatest do it in the mosque or in your local koran school.

if you think that being muslim gives you group dynamics or can be used to your advantage as a community identity you are wrong.

a bittorrent forum where the majority of members come from western influenced cultures is not the right place for it.

i don't belong to any religion at all. i disassociate myself from any religion.

We dont have issue with groups doing a giveaway in this section. Though any threads based on religion have the possibility of becoming a mess. Theres concern that these threads will create a load on Staff if these situations occur again and again. If so we have to think it might be better not to allow it.

Were not against these threads though as Staff we need to ask if its worth allowing it. It should be understood this poll is not to prevent any giveaways. Its also not against any specific groups. Its simply looking for feedback and a debate. If the rule were added it would apply equally to all.

The racist factor in this situation isnt clear perhaps. The post might not appear racist to some. That post wasnt a clear insult. If so it would have been dealt with as other posts have. There also were posts removed from that thread. The post linked has also been now. We follow the rule when hatred enters a post it should be reviewed for possible removal.

We could debate what the intensions of the initial post were. Though at times things are grey somewhat. The poll is posted as a possible way to prevent more of these situations. Any other suggestions are welcome. We would prefer less rules. That way the members are likely to enjoy the site better anyway...

i agree

but didnt want to say anything(or else they'll bring their entire army with osama on his camel at my doorstep)

The mods/staff should do something about it or it will get outta hand

one thing you peeps have to realise is that you are all stealing because you are all poor . and your god made you poor

I have no problem with anybody's religion, reaaly. At the same time, I don´t think the Prophet Muhammad guys are wrong if they want to group themselves and do giveaways. Freedom of Association is a principle we should abide and encourage.

However, if they pray, advertise religion, try to convert us into jews, muslims or whatever on trades and GA (which is senseless), or flame other religions, they admins should take a stance.

IMHO, Muslims should be allowed to express their religion here, as long as not in a manner that is discriminatory.
