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.

A pastor, citing the murder of political activist Charlie Kirk, has called for his neighbors to take down their “Hate Has No Home Here” signs, claiming those messages endorse political violence against people like him.

Yet, at the same time that he called upon his critics to tone down their rhetoric, Andrew Isker escalated his own language, angrily demanding vengeance against those he perceives to be his political enemies.

You know when I was kid I took one of those little surveys counselors give you to kind of figure out what your career should be. Mine said pastor. Now there's no fucking way I was going to do that. But more and more I've been thinking I should have become a religious grifter. It seems so fucking easy. Just stupid easy.

You don't even need to become a pastor though, as you could just invent your own religion instead. It worked for L. Ron Hubbard.

A religious grifter is easy when all the good children abandon flaws for seeking perfection. Rather than stay and change the flaw, work at it until it has been fixed.

Like an empty abandoned temple, decayed and full of rot in the wood. You do not fix what is broken and it will stay broken. It becomes easy for any man to seek shelter upon the abandoned. They will fester and tell the other bums to come with, for they have found refuge where no man watches or keeps his brother. For the good little children abandoned the home and the men of flaws fester fear for fostering friendship frightens their greedy little hearts.
