Rules and terms in no specific order.
I. Anyone who wishes may join, no matter their religion. Please be aware, however, that this is a Christian based forum, and as such, most of the content will reflect Christian opinions.
II. Everyone is to be treated equally. Christians will not say that they are better than, superior to, or more intelligent than any religion or individual including but not limited to Atheists, Hindus, Wiccans, Jews or any other group. Followers of other religions or groups, such as the above, will not say they are better than, superior to, or more intelligent than any other religion or individual. You are to treat everyone fairly, no matter their religion, race, gender, age, orientation, etc. Name calling, insults, or any other rude and or offense behavior will not be tolerated.
III. If your primary purpose is to flame, troll, offend, and or harass others, then save our time and excuse yourself from our forum.
IV. Remember when reading another person's opinion on any subject, that it is just their opinion. You do not have to agree with it, and you are not doing any one any good whatsoever by starting a fight. You may, however, simply post saying you do not agree, and may continue to debate and counter-debate on why you do not agree, but do not repeatedly give the some opinion and the same reasons why. Remember when posting your own opinion that not everyone sees the world the way you do and they may not agree.
V. Posting in all, or nearly all caps is a form of "internet yelling" and will not be tolerated.
VI. Treat everyone how you would want to be treated. If the person you were debating with was your best friend in the whole world, how would you go about nicely telling them your opinion without offending them?
VII. Moderators and admins have the final say. Do not argue with them if they issue a warning on yourself or any other individual. If you think they have given an unfair warning, come to me.
VIII. This is a family rated site. No cursing, sexual references, or other profanity should be posted. Discussions on topics such as homosexuality are perfectly fine, so long as they do not get too detailed. Curse words will be blocked out by the auto censored words. Do not try in any way to get around these blocks. Please remember that this forum is for all ages.
IX. Rule subject to change at any time. You are expected to know the rules and obey them. Issues not covered will be address by the moderators and admins.
Breaking rules may result in loss of privileges, suspension, and/or a permanent ban. Your punishment will depend on how serious the offense is and on your record of previous offenses.
I will be doing my best to catch any rule breakers, but, I may at times miss something, and I have no way of knowing about those who break rules in pms. If you see someone breaking the rules, pm me telling me where and how they broke the rules. In the case of rule breaking in a pm, you need to send me a screen shot as proof. For this reason, if you are reporting a rule breaker, please do not delete the pm in which they broke the rules.
