| About: | Information updated 3.17.2005.![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small} academicpagans is now an open membership community. However, all posts need to be approved by the community founder/maintainer (![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} witchchild) or a moderator (karlthepagan or zoe_bat).I originally started this community in response to a post I once saw that was so over the top in personal theory and so lacking in critical thought, that I wanted a forum to act as the opposite. Thus, academicpagans was born. It is a pan-Pagan (from eclectic to BTW to Dianic to technopagan to Reconstructionist) group that is dedicated to the "next level" of Pagan discussion. The focus is more on historical/booklearning talk. That said, UPG (unsubstantiated personal gnosis) is allowed, so long as it is marked as such, and the poster is willing to have their ideas questioned and debated.So, what do I have to do to post here? First, hit the join community button at the top of the page. You will automatically become a member. Then post for the community. If you have had no response at all in 48 hours, contact a moderator. How to not have your post approved: 1) Excessive use of netspeak and bad grammar. If you are not sure of the spelling of a word, use the spellcheck function. I (witchchild) also personally do not like posts...that overuse...these little dots... 2) Posts of the Pagan 101 variety (ie just discovered the religions and wanting to know the varieties, or overgeneralization of what Paganism entails), which are better suited for pagan.3) Spell requests, and general posting of having odd psychic feelings. 4) Excessively crossposted items, especially ones that end with "x-posted sorry." 5) Excessive advertising for other communities. Once is OK, especially if the community is covering an aspect of Pagan religions not yet covered by another Livejournal community. 6) No quizzes or surveys. 7) No introductory posts, unless they offer some means for discussion outside of people saying hello. The rules are subject to flexibility and changes will be noted in the community. | |
