Brion345s recent placement of his "welfare" topic in the Politics subforum illustrates the need for the former...maybe, thinking on, one subforum called "social sciences" to contrast "physical sciences" - incorporating sociology, economics, psychology (Descartes fail but still)...hang on, I'll pull in the wikipedia definition:

You can suggest that in a separate topic; I'm oblivious to why you have chosen this topic to post your idea. Very unprofessional.

However, even if we do agree on the creation of a new subforum we will have to wait for a red to implement it.

Indeed.

Here’s a test. Write a short (1000 words, whatever) essay on economics without mentioning or alluding to politics.

Trolling is not allowed. Troll behavior includes, but is not limited to repeatedly:

• Making provocative posts.
  
• Making posts that are unrelated / irrelevant to the thread or conversation subject.
  
• Disrupting normal discussion.
  
• Provoking specific members by referring to them negatively on your profile/signature.
  

How the hell did they make a troll a mod?
Stop trolling if you have any shame or respect for yourself..this forum change tons.

I was responding to a post Editz made (as you know perfectly well). If I was trolling, then so was he. But expecting every poster in a thread to stay perfectly on topic is unreasonable. 

If you really think these two posts constitute trolling, the proper course of action is to report both of us.

Everyone who doesn't play his silly game is called either a troll or a bot.

Edit: I’m also unsure how most of the things Editz mentioned do NOT fall under the rubric of human rights. And obviously, accusing me of trolling within the thread is well outside the thread topic.

I will walk with you until the end; babystepping you perhaps you understand; or get punished for breaking the rules.

Not taking an action against such trolling -not even giving the member a warning-, and engaging in a discussion with the member in his/her trolling attempt is trolling.
again: how did this troll -BrianSoddingBoru4- became a mod?

I could make the case that you accusing me, within the thread, of trolling is an instance of trolling.  Whether I'm trolling or not has nothing to do with the thread subject, ie, making accusations of trolling is, in itself, trolling.

Again, if you think that either Editz or myself is trolling, you need to report it.

It was the "alien abductee" role-playing you did that cemented it.

Since you receive the reports submitted; it actually has no use in reporting anything related to you.
The members have eyes, and they can see how a simple suggestion of opening a "Human Rights Section" have faced complications by you.
i.e I'm done talking to you.
----------------------------------------------

Back to the OP: what do the members of AF forums think about opening a "Human Rights Section"?
From the trial of Kashoggi to the crimes of Haftar in Libya; I think such a section would benefit the discussions here.

Atheists can post their struggles with their Human Rights, so as Muslims, Christian and theists. It will be a rich experience and a treasure for knowledge.

On those rare occasions when I'm reported (always seems to be by you), I recuse myself from the voting.

If you're so concerned about off-topic posts, why do you only bring it up in threads you've started? I know the answer, just want to see if you do.

Back to the OP:  I don't think a specific section for Human Rights is necessary. I don't see how it would benefit discussions. Members are already able to bring up human rights issues in appropriate fora and subfora.

I suggest you add a poll and get a feeling as to how much support this idea has from the general membership. This might go a long way toward helping your case - if you can show Admin that a majority of the members would like to see that forum added, you'll have a better chance of success.

When I was younger, I would get drunk at home and dance in the nude until I was sweating like crazy.
