Paranoia is probably not the best name for that forum, but I can't think of anything better. I would agree that the flood myths don't really belong there, seeing as how there is physical evidence of some large floods which those stories are probably based off of. That said, there is no evidence whatsoever for a worldwide flood.
As for galactic alignment having some metaphysical meaning or even physical effect leading to an end-of-the-world scenario or any other similar prophecy...that is exactly the type of thing Tilted Paranoia was created to discuss. Like I said, it's probably not the best name for the forum, but "Tilted There-is-no-scientific-or-logical-reason-to-believe-this-to-be-true-but-I-want-to-discuss-whether-it-may-be-anyway" is just a bit cumbersome. If you have recommendations, feel free to PM them to me and I will seriously consider them.
As for members ridiculing others, please use the report post link when you feel that is the case (not when someone says something which may offend someone, but when someone says something that is genuinely attacking another member). Reporting posts sends an e-mail to all the moderators and calls more people to look at the situation and make a decision about it. That said, I personally don't see anything wrong with someone telling another person that what they are saying makes absolutely no sense using the well-established and proven methods we, as a civilization, have for determining what is likely to be true.
