Many of you know that I've been very tolerant of a wide range of views. I appreciate having a diversity of thoughts being expressed here. However, I've found that there has to be some lines drawn in order to continue to distinguish this pro-Mormon forum from the anti-Mormon/ex-Mormon forums out there. And therefore certain rules are necessary. I would like to preserve LDSFF as a pro-LDS/Mormon forum that allows for friendly discussion of what some view as controversial or non-mainstream topics. From the very beginning of LDSFF it was created as a way to discuss things like secret combinations and other political/religious conversation that is not tolerated on other pro-LDS discussion forums.
Quoting from the forum rules:
If you feel like some users continue to get away with repeated forum rules violations, please report the offending posts.This is a forum for discussions of the principles of Liberty and the many topics encompassed in the gospel of Jesus Christ, which embraces all truth. All are welcome who can engage in such discussions civilly and respectfully, within the guidelines presented below.
What this forum is not. It is not an anti-Mormon/anti-LDS forum, not a Denver Snuffer forum, not a forum for any ‘remnant’ or LDS offshoot communities/movements/groups, not a RLDS or FLDS forum, and not a forum for being bitter, critical, or accusatory towards LDS Church leaders.
