Implemented Clarification needed for what counts as political or religious

[roydan]

This is more of a discussion than a feedback or suggestion, but it's here because I think it's the most appropriate section for it.
I read it a couple of times before I posted it, I know it "reads" like a rant, but it really isn't.

A recent thread about May 1st was moved to the Sapphire section due to it being a political holiday, and although the context @God added to it later did show that it was indeed a political holiday, I don't think anyone thought about that as a political thread up until that point.

When does the line go?

I used to post happy [enter a jewish holiday] threads on a stricter forum and it was never a problem because although most holidays are either political or religious, with time they detach from that and are just traditions we have with friends and family.
Atheists celebrate Christmas, don't they? I know I celebrated Rosh Hashanah even though I couldn't care less about the Jewish calendar. I don't even know the Jewish date today.

My point is that holidays are not religious or political despite their source most likely is.

Where does the line go? Can we have flags as pfp? Can we wish a happy holiday? Can we ask if our fellow Thai members are fine after a tsunami? Can we do the same thing after a missile attack on Kyiv (I know the answer to this one, obviously, I'm just trying to demonstrate a point)?

I understand that a big part of rules is "the spirit" and not what is actually written, but that thread proved that most members didn't understand how we stand on that, and we need to be prepared for tens of thousand of members not understanding where the line goes in a year or so.

Nah, I agree with @Octavia keep it around the major holidays, all else get out.

Since you have 30- 40 in Hinduism, 20- 30 in Christianity and a few in Islam.
