DIR Access

[Left Coast]

Hi RF!

As a reminder, DIR (Discuss Individual Religion) forums are intended for use by people who identify with that religion/ideology/practice. Other members are only allowed to ask respectful questions in DIRs.

In your profile, please choose only up to a maximum of three DIRs to which you'd like access.

Thank you!

I guess I have to go read the rules again. I don't adhere to any organized religion. When I first came to the forum, I was told I couldn't join DIRs because of that. I was also told that if I wasn't a member, I couldn't post in DIRs. OK re-reading.

Let's see...Dharmic for my Buddhism, LHP for my Luciferianism, Other Religious Practices for my Mysticism, and Non-revealed Religions for The Vinegar Tasters. Dang! I can't squeeze into only three! {I do miss chatting with the Christians and the Jews in the Abrahamic DIR}

Sorry for any confusion Walter. Not all DIRs represent "organized religions," so perhaps you could find something that matches?
There is a Non-Revealed Religions DIR, Pantheism/Panentheism DIR, a Non-Theistic/Non-Religious Beliefs DIR, etc.

A maximum of three? Since when? I have access to more than three right now, as I fit into more than three buckets. I know many others here do as well. I'm confused.

It's been this way for years, it just isn't posted anywhere where people are likely to read it ( we're working on that right now), and if someone has more than three selected, it isn't the kind of thing that staff is likely to stumble across unless we already have a good reason for giving someone's profile the once-over.

And to put people's minds at ease: having more than 3 DIRs selected isn't something we consider a rule violation. The only time it would be would be if we'd specifically asked you to trim your selection down to 3 and you didn't comply.

That's strange. I'm not even allowed in directives I'm not a member of in order to ask respectful questions.

Well, I lucked out by being in exactly 3 DIRs.

You have to specifically select which DIRs you want access to through your profile. So outside those three, it's true, you can't post in any other DIR at all. Respectful questions can be asked in DIRs you have selected in your profile but with which you don't identify.

Does that make sense? I know it's a bit confusing.

That definitely clarifies things. Tx.

It is my understanding that to select a DIR is not simply to claim it as an area of interest; it is to aver that I fundamentally "identify with that religion/ideology/practice". I hope that these claims are being made thoughtfully and honestly.
