And given the ongoing misunderstandings evident in this forum, it's arguable there are sound reasons for the suggestion of a 'sticky'...

I don't think members should be given the privelidge of stickeys because it necessitates favoritizm on the part of admin.

Stickeys are admin purposes.

Then again, it looks like Norseman already has one, and he isn't admin.

to repeat: "Make it a sticky without attribution and your concern disappears.... "

If there's no attribution, it's just a few lines of explanation - no members will have been shown favouritism.

no worries!

It's surely the value of the content of a sticky that results in a piece becoming a sticky in the first place?

Who wrote it matters little, it's what the piece says that matters most....

Wikipedia et al may be great places to consult where someone wants detailed information and additional references.

A quick-and-easy guide may be more suitable for discussion forum use, I'd suggest.

I can't speak for other members here, but i've noticed the information on Wikipedia is misleading when it comes to discussing Modern Spiritualism. And, in my opinion it does our religion no favours.

Some people often confuse spirituality with Spiritualism, thinking they are one and the same. Asking someone who knows nothing about the religion is pointless. Surely it is preferable to discuss the subject with someone who actually knows what they are talking about, to help lessen any confusion or misunderstandings.

Having a sticky can offer a basic introduction to those who may wish to explore Spiritualism further. Who knows it may lead to the prevention of discussing topics that have nothing to do with the religious views of Spiritualist's. Furthermore, it could help members who are seeking answers to spiritual questions in general, by encouraging them to post in a forum which is likely to have more people visit, thereby providing them with an opportunity to receive a wider audience.

You might acertain the content is valuable and another will think it's tripe.

What matters is if Norseman gets a sticky others would also be entitled to it.

If stickeys were for admin purposes then they'd remain sensible.

Soon, there will all sorts of inane stickeys like Norseman's Tarot School, maybe this one will be next.

even if there were a sticky, some people would still mis-post here
and you're right, are you going to have a sticky for the other religions?
