In what way has it been inconsistent? We've been doing everything the same way for several months now. Nothing is different.

If this makes things a little more stricter, or a little more free, I can live with either, I just hate being in limbo concerning where a post belongs and where it doesn’t.

You're not in limbo. All you have to do is read the index page. Here it is, broken down:

  • If it's scholarly, polite, or respectful, then it belongs in the Celestial Forum.
  • If it's a general topic or debate, then it belongs in the Terrestrial Forum.
  • If it consists of flaming or venting, or if it's a personal attack, then it belongs in the Telestial Forum.
  • If it's obvious spam or a blatant derailment, then it belongs in the Outer Darkness Forum.
  • If it's about politics, hobbies, or anything else non-LDS related, then it belongs in the Off-Topic Forum.
  • If it's an announcement of a real-life meet-up, then it belongs in the Events and Get-Togethers Forum.

There you have it. No more limbo.

Then why does Aristotle's posts with the word "Asshole" in them get moved, but Liz thinks the word gets a pass because it's not a "F or S" word.

Cunt is not an F or S word, so that is okay to say in this forum?

The word Nigger is in PG-13 movies, and is not an F or S word, where does that belong?

What about Kike? Wetback? Daego? Mick?

What counts as a personal attack? When someone feels attacked?

This thread is a great example of why I choose to say whatever I want, to whoever I want, however I want, and let the chips fall where they may baby.
