In summary, there is no specific Three Strikes rule for posting on physics forums, but certain guidelines and rules are enforced to ensure productive and respectful discussions. These guidelines typically include staying on topic, avoiding personal attacks, and citing sources when making claims. Repeated violations of these guidelines may result in warnings or bans from the forum.

I have am an Electrical Engineer with a Minor in Physics. I am trying to steer my career towards the science of physics, and hopefully away from the corporate world.

I am starting to get into these threads, particularly on the Physics forums, but I've noticed that many threads get closed because a topic is not welcomed or it's "too philosophical". I do not intend to post anything out of topic or philosophical, however when it comes to quantum mechanics, much of it is philosophical or guesswork as long as experiments do not disprove the hypothesis.
So my question is, is there a Three Strikes, You're Out rule or something?

Well, you have to work at it, but yes you can get banned. Stick to topics that are part of established science. It isn't just philosophy that is off limits but also speculative posts.
