View submission: Introducing a New Feature: Community FAQs
So who gets to decide what information does and does not get to go in the FAQ? What are you going to do when there are multiple or contradictory schools of thought on an outlawed topic?

FAQ threads will be moderated by us mods as usual.
New contributions to the FAQ will be required to follow the same rules as any response here, albeit with a greater expectation of citations and references. As mentioned in the post, external links must be to prior answers on this sub or other trustworthy sources.
Likewise, as with any scenario where there are multiple schools of thought within academic anthropology, a good contribution will acknowledge that and give a fair treatment, even if it ultimately takes a side. This not something that comes up terribly often here. Most conflicting perspectives come from pop-sci books or other fields.
And to clarify, the topics themselves are not being "outlawed." It's more that we are tightening the pre-existing rules on specificity so that users are more likely to see high quality responses.
