Why is blasphemy legal in the developed world, but illegal on Civfanatics?

Would be nice to be able to discuss this openly.

Theres even an annual international blasphemy day:

One of very few such special events that atheists / anti theists / irreligious / etc people like myself can enjoy participating in.

E.G my current favorite thing on the entire internet:

I'm guessing it's probably a policy to prevent OT flame wars....

I am unaware of any CFC rule "outlawing" blasphemy

For blasphemy to exist, it must violate a religious prohibition. Because CFC endorses no religion, it could not opine on what is blasphemy and what is not.

I believe that falls under the "Don't be an arse" rule, rather than some kind of blasphemy rule.
Besides, blasphemy on CFC is saying that the 1UPT feature is awesome. That will get you punished. Severely.

It is far more awesome than SODs though.

In your link, I see a reference to religious trolling. I see nothing about blasphemy.

Quite a few Civ2 mods have stackable terrain(no SODs, one unit in the stack killed at a time), wouldn't it be possible to do something similar for III and IV?

Blasphemy is all I originally intended to post, that people here confuse a valid anti religious stance as trolling isn't my concern. I have been strongly anti religious since the age of 12.

Since this concerns site policy, wouldn't Site Feedback be the more logical place for this thread?

Not really because no one there is going to listen to or pay it any attention.

So... you'd rather just vent, instead of posting in the area of the forum where the people who have the authority to address your issue are more apt to see it?

Ive actually already discussed the issue personally via PM with several people with the 'authority to address this issue'.

I would actually prefer it was possible to contact via email anyone outside or above the 'people with authority to address this issue', but I have so far realized that discussing this or any such issue with such people is 100% futile. I would much rather have the issue discussed among the regular users instead.

Moderator Action: Blasphemy is not banned at CFC, but trolling is and PDMA most certainly is. The supreme court at CFC is not the court of public opinion. Thread closed.
