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.

This is common knowledge right? Like, its obvious.

I suspect it's only obvious to a smaller percentage of the population than we'd like to hope for :(

Well yes, but if you say it out loud people will think you are being rude

Just remind them of their favourite phrase: "facts don't care about feelings"

OK sure, but the time for no rudeness passed a decade ago. People need to call out shit like it is and call a Nazi a Nazi.

People being "polite" and not stepping on toes is why we are where we are.

Oh yeah? well, fuck you!

Many common assumptions are untrue.

This one, however, has been confirmed by science, so that's nice to have confirmed.

Even common knowledge needs to be proven correct via the scientific method.

Most things we call common knowledge are just "reasonable assumptions" and they are definitely not 100% accurate. This one is though!
