Is there a list anywhere of all the banned topics?

I'd also like to know.

If it's banned, then I apologize for starting the thread.

Don't think so.

As far as I understand

WOW
LGBTQ
Tanya Rosen

are the only things.

Meshichism is also off the table. I remember a thread being removed a while ago.

Can someone tell me what WoW is? You can pm me, if it's not permitted to write here.

I'm almost positive that it used be included on the rules page, but I don't see it there anymore.

Another banned topic.

Footsteps is a generally banned topic here for various reasons ... You can pm Yael to discuss further.

Interesting. There used to be a list of banned topics, but I can’t seem to find it now.

I wanted to start a thread about conversion therapy, since it's in the news here in Israel, but something tells me that would go down in flames fast.

A copy of the rules from 2016 was posted here and included

Quote:

7. Discussions not worth having: There are certain discussions that always end badly no matter how they are phrased and therefore they are not allowed to be discussed anymore. It is not allowed to start discussions on the topic of racism, since these discussions are hurtful to certain members. Homosexuality and anything about meshichists (those who believe the Lubavitcher Rebbe is Moshiach) is not allowed to be discussed.

We reserve the right at any time to change or add any rules to this list. There is a possibility that a person may be banned even though the rule she broke is not listed here.

Note that the last tpoc was banned because discussions end badly, not because it was considered to violate the ikkarim. Posts that conflict with the ikkarim are still explicitly banned in rule 2.

Thanks, I knew I had seen it in the past.

Seems some of the rules have changed because racism is listed there too. And that's been a hot-button topic lately, seemingly with no restrictions on it in place.

I wouldn't be sad to see a muzzle on racist comments.

But the issue of banning/permitting topics of discussion is complex.

I'm glad those decisions don't rest on my shoulders.

What is meshichism? Certainly the way it seems to be understood here is not in line with the concept I am familiar with, which is saying that the Rebbe is moshiach.

Someone please enlighten me?

(I also don't know what Footsteps or Tanya Rosen are. This thread is making me feel like a fool. Very Happy

)

I’m not sure what happened with Footsteps and why it was banned, but you can read about Tanya here.

Even if it weren't a discussion Yael put off limits, let's still all think extra hard about anything resembling l"h, especially now?

Thank you.

I changed the title to clarify, thanks for pointing that out.

I also pm'ed Yael asking her respond to the questions raised here.

Yael wrote here about she now permits members to "discuss what would constitute racism", "on condition they remain free of racist comments", not that I've noticed much enforcement of the latter. I also don't get what's changed since 2008 when she banned this. Dynamics?

I can't really say that the now-allowed discussions aren't still ending badly, but I haven't looked at how they went in 2008 to see if they ended in a worse fashion.

I feel like there was a discussion recently about why these comments are being allowed now, but I can’t recall where.
