  All,

As one of the moderators, I can, without reservation or hesitation, state that there will be very few banned subjects. I don't see a future that contains some ever-growing list of verboten topics. Quite simply, anything Gloranthan is fine for discussion, provided that people discuss things in a civil manner and with repsect for others. Such respect includes some simple things like listening to other points of view, avoiding personal insults, limiting profanity, limiting adult content, and thinking before posting.

FAQs are meant to provide info on what has already been discussed in detail via a more clear and concise summary. They are far easier to read than having to sift and sort through a winding series of responses and searching the archives. The creation of an FAQ does not mean the topic is banned, it just makes repsonding to a question about an already well covered topic very easy. You can usually just refer them to the FAQ.

Hope that helps,
Rick
