Oops it seems my post came just when lala closed the thread. I will repost it here:
Hi again Randall  I loved your quote about the art of avoidance, quite a precious art, under certain circumstances  However, I must say an outspoken support of accuracy and integrity in approaching astrology (no acceptance of identified inaccurate astrological data) and the power for us to correct our mistakes as a general rule (why not a disclaimer?) has become an important moment for me here, since as I said, astrology for me starts with consulting the charts. I just want to know if I can fit here

Leaving aside the current situation and making it a good reminder of positive change, with no other interventions to it, can a disclaimer be made, along the lines: "Lindaland supports astrological integrity and accuracy. If technical inaccuracies (faulty astrological data) are identified, they are to be respectfully corrected by the poster as soon as possible, before the thread continues. Non-compliance leads to moderator intervention and the thread being closed for technical inaccuracy" Yes? Just a proposal of disclaimer. Not sure how disclaimers are added, maybe this thread can also serve as disclaimer? ------------------

bit too strict,
how often do we find false information, if it was rampant on everyones posts, then i'd see we'd need someone to step up and set order on this land.
but how often in the past year has it happened, rarely. IP: Logged |

I think is fair to say that if the inaccuracy is not corrected then the thread should be closed.IP: Logged |

And if they aren't being made, what do we do then ? I second Leeloo suggestion, I come to Lindaland with the belief that astrology knowledges on here are reliable as there are many professional astrologers here. I thought we have standards. If I can't rely on astrologers to respect me and astrology enough to give accurate date, or at least, make a disclaimer when said data has not yet been confirmed, who can I rely on ? Or should I just keep silence, move on, blame myself for putting my trust in the wrong place ? IP: Logged |

Maybe add that this rule apply to professional astrologers first and foremost ?
Normally people don't deny mistakes but correct them when being reminded and showed facts. But experiences prove that this hasn't always be the case, hence the need for rules IP: Logged |

Unless the Astro findings are backed up with reference links to support the theory, then the interpretation is just the opinion of the poster.this goes without saying
and a good rule of thumb. ------------------

Hi, Lalalinda this is about the postage of inaccurate astrological data (discussing non-existent astrological aspects in charts of famous people). And mainly about a commitment to astrological integrity and accuracy of this forum and offering a solution when such technical inaccuracies occur and need to be corrected. ------------------

That is the point that I have made in two different threads about self responsibility in the sense that if someone posts something without any references you are responsible for doing your own research and double checking the data and its facts for accuracy bc we live in world with so much information that it is important to exercise this skill anyways to build strong minds but my opinion does not matter and I apparently am evil and don't care about this site or anything according to Leeloo. However I see Leeloo's point about if someone makes such a big mistake that they are posting straight up fake astrological profiles that it should be corrected and if not the thread should be closed but my point is that the request for it to be corrected should be done with love and respect which is not the manner that I feel has been done and why I participated minimally in those threads.

No one can expect of any astrologer or astrology passionate or random person to notice a thread/post contains incorrect DOB, TOB, aspects in famous charts and pretend they don't see it. I can attest no one can expect this of me.An astrological thread/post becomes moot and ultimately spreading false information before such an error is corrected. ------------------

Hello LeeLoo, yes, I understand completely the issue here. The problem is Astrology is based on (intuitive) interpretation, nothing is written in stone and there is no way to disprove another's interpretation/opinion. The only way to correct a false or misleading interpretation is to challenge it through respectful debate.I do see misleading information from time to time when I do I try to steer it in the right direction. Ideally, the experienced Astrologers will recognize and try to mentor or guide the beginners in their quest. The crux of this issue is misinformation is dangerous.
That is why we need to work together.  ------------------

Sorry Orange if you make it personal, for me it is about what I stated, and such an important matter cannot be about any individual, either you, me or someone else. To me it is about the future standards of this site and how they match mine, when it comes to astrology. I am here for astrology.That is why I kindly ask everyone to respect my question to Randall and not to make it about any personal matters or vendetta. Thank you. ------------------

Agreed. The real issue isn't whether or not something is accurate, the real issue is respecting each other and the community as a whole.

Hi this is not about interpretation- not for me.
You are absolutely right- everyone has the right to have his own interpretation It's just about plain false info- like the wrong birth date for Prince William or that a sun squares a venus in a natal.
