Right, management decision here. We've noticed that a lot of our most interesting threads recently have devolved into 'believers vs skeptics' flamewars, and frankly, we reckon that's because skeptics on this site either don't feel welcome or get dogpiled for raising valid questions.
So we're launching a new subforum called 'Skeptics Welcome' where the ground rules are: you can question, probe, and be constructively skeptical without being accused of being close-minded or a shill. And believers, if you want your ideas tested, this is where that happens. We're not saying everyone needs to agree, but we ARE saying that 'show me evidence' is a legitimate position on a paranormal forum.
Ground rules: No ad hominem attacks. Sources matter. 'Trust me bro' is not evidence. But neither is 'that's impossible because science.' Let's be smarter about this.
First moderator is BertrandRussell42, who is a trained physicist and a proper skeptic, but also listens to weird experiences without immediately dismissing them. Might learn something from each other.
