What is this "Speculation" forum all about?

[Doctordick]

I was initially a bit disturbed by having my earlier post moved to "speculations" as I made no speculations whatsoever. But, on thinking about the issue I guess I made one serious speculation. That would be that there were people on this forum capable of thinking.

Gosh, such a mystery. Maybe one could get Scooby Doo to peruse the Speculations forum rules for a clue

The Speculations forum is provided for those people who like to postulate new ideas in the realm of science, or perhaps just make things up for fun. Whatever the case is, this forum is not a home for just any science-related idea you have. It has a few rules:

• Speculations must be backed up by evidence or some sort of proof. If your speculation is untestable, or you don't give us evidence (or a prediction that is testable), your thread will be moved to the Trash Can. If you expect any scientific input, you need to provide a case that science can measure.
• Be civil. As wrong as someone might be, there is no reason to insult them, and there's no reason to get angry if someone points out the flaws in your theory, either.
• Keep it in the Speculations forum. Don't try to use your pet theory to answer questions in the mainstream science forums, and don't hijack other threads to advertise your new theory.

And perhaps visiting the stickied thread "Why has my post been moved to Speculations?" could shed some additional light

That was explained in the subsequent modnote. What part are you having trouble understanding?

[Lord Antares]

Your post was moved to speculations because it was incoherent. If it was any good, it just might have been moved to philosophy.

But if we choose science, we get reasonable explanations, and the fun comes along automatically.

 

You have fun.

Your name, and signature, says a lot about you.

Just saying.

If a Richard can't have fun, how can a Dick?
