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.

Yeah, I suppose it implies a level of immorality but asking someone to swear an oath requires a commitment to “so help me god”. If you don’t believe then the oath is not meaningful.

It goes against my integrity of being dishonest. Making me do an oath I know is bullshit nonsense is still forcing me into the position of agreeing to this nonsense.

That’s where black and versus shades of grey come in. The people forcing the oath are acting immorally or at least nonsensically which begs the question of whether the people taking it should return the compliment. A black and white person will say an oath is an oath where a shades of grey person will be less committed.
