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.

Wanting to kill someone and wanting someone to be killed are quite different.

Wanting someone to face justice and wanting them dead are also quite different.

I suppose you're right, for people that believe in "justice" administered by state. As an anarchist, I view states as fictional entities, like fiat currency, they're not real (tho can have real effects), and are therefore not entitled to kill or imprison anyone for any reason, let alone to maintain order as they see it.

Also, wanting to kill and feeling the need to kill, such as in self-defense are different too.
