Application of warnings or bans will be subject to moderator discretion. Feel free to appeal. If changes to the guidelines are necessary, they will be adjusted.


If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a group that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of any other group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you you will be banned on sight.

Provable means able to provide proof to the moderation, and, if necessary, to the community.

Let's talk seriously about this for a moment. What is the purpose for these billboards, yard signs, Jesus fish car emblems, etc? It's not like I'm gonna pass by "JESUS IS LORD" spraypainted on the side of a barn on a country road and go "WELL FUCK, THAT'S IT, I'M CHRISTIAN!"

There is exactly one purpose and two effects. The purpose is to create an "in group" and an "out group," and you know damned well which one you're in. The effects are virtue signalling to the in group, and implicitly threatening the out group - and everyone (regardless of group) knows this, even if they're not able to put the knowledge into words.
