Welcome to the Spirituality, Religion, Theology, Philosophy, AND Logic forum. A word of welcome:

"Your temporary goods are of no value to the ones I can have for eternity. Welcome to the forum :-)" -- Traditionalist Catholic

Bwnnable Rules (B)

1. Don't spam (posting nonsensical posts, even one)

2. Don't flood (posting a bunch of posts in a row, even sensical ones)

3. Don't troll to the point where three or more regs complain. We're more tolerant here, but even the sprethephs have their limits.

(Note: if you were banned, it was probably due to you being caught in an autoclean, not you having actually done anything wrong. This kind of thing happens often. Please leave a note addressed to Xhin on the forum index, and (preferred, but not required), go to www.whatsmyip.com and email the number to Xhin23@gmail.com). I'll deal with it very quickly, thanks)

Taggable rules (T)

1. All polls must reference themselves, preferably humorously.

2. Don't post relevant topics off the page with pointless posts.

3. Posts with only 1-3 replies will be tagged after a day, unless they're ridiculously long and well thought-out.

4. Posts that were questions and have been answered or chat posts that have been concluded will be tagged within a day.

5. I don't personally do it, but if you use too much vulgar language or content, don't be upset when a roaming mod tags it.

Guidelines for more fun (G)

0. Don't throw the dictionary at someone. Words should be seen in their context. Besides, they're liable to catch it and set fire to it. And then you'd be out a dictionary.

1. Should a troll appear, a regular should post "Visiting hours to the troll zoo are over", signifying that no one should further "feed the troll".

2. If you counter the other side on the basis that their religion or gender or sexual orienatation or pet cat is inherently flawed, you are planting a kara-haba (hate-seed) in their argument. Discussions don't have to be heated arguments.

4a. The greymarch is coming! That's what I'd say if it was already here! Which it isn't! So I won't say it again until it does! -- Beckett

4b. "The human race will begin solving it's problems on the day that it ceases taking itself so seriously." -- Principia Discordia

4c. If I banned you for some reason other than the three B-rules, then it was a faux-ban, a clever and yet highly insulting practical joke. If you're offended, I'm sorry. If you're not, then laugh long and hard.

5. Should cupola post, your best hope is to answer with:

"Some flower power. But what such? A cheery bosom? Arise! It's just a simple torso with clockwork. How dost thou deal with such beau? For in a world of cows and sororities, asexuals and metrosexuals, incest and polygamy, we've lost our marbles. Is that a marble in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? The sun, our sun, hey, screw the sun! Shine me some action for once, damnit!"

6. When you're done arguing, leave and gather your thoughts. Nothing hurts your argument worse than saying something along the lines of "SHUT UP YOU'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE TRUTH!".

7. Following guideline #7 will get you banned.

8. As you can well tell, I don't follow modding rules to the letter. Leeway FTW

3. I postpone things. Never forget this.

A final note:

"Whenever people start a club, someone will always be excluded. Unless someone starts the "freedom to believe whatever you want" club, which would be pointless considering this forum is that club."

--Padre Pio
