SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the appropriateness of posting objections to Newtonian mechanics within the Physics Forums (PF). Users are informed that critiques can be presented in the Theory Development section. Additionally, concerns are raised about the authority of mentors in removing posts deemed non-scientific, questioning the transparency and fairness of such actions. The discussion highlights the need for clarity on the process for contesting post removals and the role of mentors in forum moderation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Newtonian mechanics
  • Familiarity with forum moderation practices
  • Knowledge of Theory Development in scientific discussions
  • Awareness of community guidelines in online forums
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the guidelines for posting in Theory Development on Physics Forums
  • Learn about the roles and responsibilities of forum moderators
  • Explore best practices for presenting scientific critiques
  • Investigate the process for contesting moderation decisions in online communities
USEFUL FOR

Physics enthusiasts, forum moderators, and anyone interested in the dynamics of scientific discourse and community guidelines in online platforms.

I've been told (that's how it's written in terms and conditions) my objections to Newtonian mechanics are not suitable for posting here in PF. I'd like to know then who is in charge for that i.e. where should I send my objections?

TNX!

No one is stopping you from presenting your critique of Newtonian mechanics, as long as you do it here in Theory Development.

On the same issue, how does one contest removing a post because a mentor decides there is nothing scientific in the discarded post? Specifcally, a post moved out of 'theory development'at the same time the post in response was discarded cannot be challenged because the forum to which the opening of the thread was moved is not open to the offended party's posts? Is the assumption that mentors are more knowledgeable, or is it just because they can do the arbitrary editing and removal that they do so?
