*WARNING*
This website is not for the close minded. If you are not open to speaking with people of different religion, or different kin(vampires, therians, faeries, etc), then this site is not for you. This is a website for knowledge, opinions, ideas, beliefs, and acceptance. The website accepts everyone, but you may not accept this site, in which case, we would rather not waste our time with you.

1. Absolutely no spamming. That's kind of a given, yet it occurs too often on other websites.
2. Be respectful. This is a website for people of all races, ages, gender, religion, and kin. If you can not respect other's opinions, beliefs, personality, race, age, gender, or kin, then you don't belong on this forum, I'm afraid.
3. If you're going to ****ing curse, it sure as ****ing hell should not be excessive, just for ****'s sake (See what I did there?). Swearing is fine, but please don't go over the top. It will be considered okay some situations(Rants, quotes, etc.)
4. This is NOT a place to push your theories, beliefs, or opinions on anyone. Only a place to share them, debate about them, and meet people that feel the same way.
5. Do not advertise your website in the C-box.
6. No trolling. This means you may not post in a forum with the intention of simply striking an argument. For example, do not purpously go into a thread about Lady GaGa simply to say, "Lady GaGa is GAY!" Not only is it not true, but it does nothing but ruin the thread. Trolling is not likely to get you anywhere good, savvy?
7. No flaming. We all have people we don't particularly like, but there's no need to blast anyone in the forum, or on the C-box, or even in PM. If things get to be too much, PM a staff member, and we will deal with the situation accordingly.
8. If you have an argument that's turning ugly, settle it quickly, or your thread WILL BE LOCKED. Period. Consider this as a preface for Rule 9. If someone continues to argue with you, flame or troll you, or continues the ended conversation in PM, please contact a mod or an administrator and we will take appropriate action.
9. NO. DRAMA. WHAT. SO. EVER! Honestly? No one needs it. Really. It's fine to share your personal life, and even to complain about it in the forum, but if it gets too ridiculous (Hate threads, etc.) Don't expect them to last too long.
10. Any thread posted in the wrong area will simply be moved to the correct area. No big deal.
11. Let's try to keep complaints to a minimum. If your demands aren't being met, then we'll try our best to meet them, but please do not bug the mods to death.
12. Lets have a good time, shall we? We're all here to unite as people. Remember that. Not as a religion, or group, or anything. As people, so that we may learn from each other.
(Mwuhahaha.) Punishment (Mwuhahaha.)
Member punishment will not be very black and white. Staff members will vote on the necessary actions needed to be taken. They can range from a warning level, to a permanent ban. The options we have for when it comes to voting are:
Warning Level Raise
When your warning level reaches the max, you will either be temporarily banned, or permanently banned. The warning level is ultimately up to an administrator.
Temporary Ban
Some acts require more than just a warning. The amount of time of a temporary ban is ultimately up to an administrator.
Permanent ban
Serious offenses will result in a permanent ban.
Warning Levels Decrease 10% Every Month.
However, the first Decrease in the warning level will not happen until 31 days have passed. Every 31 days it will Decrease 10% of it's current amount.
