There has been a great deal of discussion behind the scenes on how we should moderate the Dharmic DIRs as it pertains to Rule 10.
Under the previous software format, as I understand it, there were different color coded DIR levels which governed how strict they were moderated. Since we changed over to the software version, those color coded levels have gone away and Rule 10 was revised as a result.
Historically, cross-posting within the Dharmic DIRs was generally accepted, as although there are differences, Dharmic religions, in general, have a great deal in common. In other words, members did not take issue with a Hindu posting in the Buddhism or Sikhism DIR, or a Buddhist posting in the Hinduism or Buddhism DIR, etc. due to the parallels among these religions.
So there purpose of this poll is for the staff to get an idea how the Dharmic DIR members would like to see the forum moderated. Members that do not identify as Dharmic will only be permitted to ask respectful questions as per the usual, but we would like to see how Dharmic DIR members would like to see the DIRs under the Dharmic umbrella moderated.
One vote per member is permitted. Only those members that identify has Dharmic may participate. Votes will become visible after a vote has been cast. The poll will remain open for two weeks.
