My two cents...
Subcategories or subforums (similar to the Buy and Sell) may be added to allow discussions only on specific subjects and their sub-topics so as not to spoil the whole board with threads that promote a particular religion as well prevent unsolicited ("spamming for god" types) threads.
Example:
Sacred Scripture (Interpretation, Teachings/Doctrine)
- Bible
- Koran
- Vedas
- Tanakh
- Verse of the Day
Catholicism
- Catechism
- Summa
- Festivities
- Activities
- Saints etc.
Protestantism/Reformist Christians
- Evangelicalism
- Fundamentalism
- Born Again
- Calvinism
- INC
- etc.
Islam
- Islam 101
- Jihad
- Ramadan
- Sunni/Shiite
- Mecca
- etc.
Hinduism and Buddhism (Core beliefs and teachings)
- Reincarnation (Samsara/Moksha)
- Deities
- Upanishads
- Confucianism
- Eight-fold path
- etc.
Others (Judaism/Kabbalah, Taoism, Interfaith)
- Kabbalah
- Interfaith Dialogue
- Taoism
- Shintoism
- etc.
Occultism, Supernatural & Paranormal
- Ghosts/Haunted Houses
- Astrology
- Tarot Card reading
- Wicca
- Feng Shui
- Talisman/Orasyon
- Etc.
Issues and Controversies (Criticism, Debate, etc) (Note: This is the only area where debates are allowed. Strictly no similar threads to be opened)
- Creationism vs. Evolution
- Noah's Ark
- Stigmata
- UFO sightings
- Theism vs. Atheism
- Etc.
Metaphysics (Theology, Philosophy, Mysticism, Atheism)
- Moral Theology/ Meta-ethics
- Atheism
- Theosophy
- Agnosticism
- Gnosticism
- Theology (Christian Theology, Philosophy of Religion)
- Etc.
The mods may expand or refine the above.
I know it would take some time to reconstruct the S&O board base on the above proposal but it surely does take away the headaches of the mods and well-meaning posters.
