Forum Rules
(Last updated 12/20/22)
This is a forum for Orthodox Christians. Non-Orthodox Christians may post here as long as they follow the below rules and do not post anything that is incompatible with the Orthodox faith. If you fail to read the following guidance, there is a high chance that you will be suspended or banned. Here are the rules...
1. Do not use mocking or condescending language. Don't call someone an idiot or moron, even if they are not a member of the forum. Don't use condescending language such as "What are you talking about?" Don't be a drama queen or be quick to get into arguments. All criticisms should be without emotion or passion. Defer to senior members, who help make the forum what it is.
2. Your account and posts are permanent. Accounts and posts can never be deleted, even if you're banned. When you make a post, you have 60 minutes to edit the post, and then it's permanent. You also cannot maintain more than one account. You cannot register again if you have been previously banned.
3. Do not be a low-quality poster. Don't use textspeak. Don't use profanity. Don't flood the forum with junk posts. Don't hijack threads or poison the forum with ideas concerning flat earth and gnosticism. Don't use the forum to promote your web site or business. Don't post someone's personal information. Don't demoralize or dispirit other members through black pill or negative posting. Don't spread hopelessness or use the forum to vent negative emotional feelings or states. Don't be a single-purpose member or shill who pushes an agenda mainly about an individual or pet cause.
4. Do not use profane or vulgar language. Refrain from using profane words, even when concealed with asterisks or acronyms. Do not describe sexual encounters or situations.
5. No race or political baiting. It's okay to talk about race if that's the topic, but no geo-political discussions on why one race is superior or inferior to another or why an upcoming race war in X country will be bad. Do not repeatedly start political arguments. NOTE: Newbies under 25 posts are not allowed to participate in race or political discussions.
6. Do not discuss or glorify pre-marital sexual activity. You can discuss how to meet, attract, and date women with the intention of entering a relationship with them, but not how to have sex. You cannot discuss casual hook-ups. You cannot ask where to travel to in order to have sex.
7. Do not blaspheme God. You are not permitted to insult, ridicule, mock, or desecrate Orthodox Christian beliefs or practices on the forum. Attacks against God that come from a place of atheism, hedonism, or secularism are not allowed. You are also not allowed to have heated debates with a fellow Christian for his views, dogmas, or doctrines. Do not emotionally argue with Christians or initiate theological debates. Do not share non-Orthodox views unless from a place of inquiry and seeking.
8. Do not publicly share your personal information or details on the forum. Do not share so much information about yourself that allows you to be easily identified. Use an email address that, if leaked, does not reveal your identity and select a username that you have never used on other sites. Do not share photos of yourself or people you know. If you want to meet other members, share your burner email to take the conversation off the forum.
9. No spamming or self-promotion. Do not register solely to promote your business or web site(s). You are allowed to post one commercial link in your signature after you gain 100 reaction points.
10. Do not post vulgar, shocking, or degenerate filth, including gore and NSFW images.
11. By signing up to the forum, you agree to receive updates about your account to your email address. We send occasional notifications and product updates to your registration email.
FAQ
"I just signed up but I cannot start a new thread, upload an avatar, like posts, etc."
To combat spam and trolls, new members must go through a trial period where they can only reply to existing threads no more than once every 10 minutes. Once 14 days have passed and you accumulate 25 posts and you have received at least 10 likes to your posts, you will then become a member with full privileges. Here are other features you will not be able to do as a new member: post in the Politics subforum, report posts, react to posts, upload avatar, upload attachments, edit signature. You are a full member when you no longer see the "Newbie" banner under your name.
"I need help on how to use the software."
Take a look at the How-to and Troubleshooting forum, which has many threads that explain various functions. You are free to start a new thread there, in the Sandbox to test out the software, or any other Forum Meta subforums.
"Can I promote my web site or business?"
No. This forum is not a vehicle for advertising. After you accumulate 100 reaction points (likes), you may put a link to your commercial or non-commercial web site in your signature.
"I'm a woman. Can I be a member here?"
Yes there is a Ladies Forum. Click here for more details.
"I'm locked out of my account."
