Typically web Forums, this is the section where a litany of forum rules are stipulated to regulate the forum participant’s conduct and behavior, and while this can be helpful in certain settings, an entirely different approach, termed a “Right-Doing (=”Righteousness”) by Faith” approach vs. a “Right-Doing by Rules” will be used here. Seems like the original approach that God had with His followers from Creation (see e.g., Gen 26:5; cf. 39:9b), until He had to with the mixed multitude and “Egyptianized” people who came out of Egypt to form Israel. (=Exod 20:1-17, and so on).
So at the very foundation, the Chief Rule of this Forum is to be Christ-like, which, as seen in the Gospel, Chiefly involves ‘acting/doing right before God and Right before others’ (Matt 22:34-40; 7:12 = Luke 6:27-38; cf. Mic 6:8). So knowing and reading up on the Gospels here and studying out ‘what Jesus did’ will be most beneficial and determinative here as to what is “right”. It is the experience-derived belief of/for this forum that if Facts and Truth, for various areas of discussion and interaction on this forum, are honestly, pertinently and pointedly dealt with, and also honored when concretely ascertained, that there should not arise many problematic contentious issue, if not any at all.
So it is only when/if/as a wrongful behavior, conduct and/or action becomes persistently problematic that a rule pointedly addressing will be added here (and a notification of it sent out to all Researchers).
