Guidelines for a Respectful and Thoughtful Community

Welcome to our community forum—a space for open, thoughtful discussions where people can ask questions, share perspectives, and explore complex topics without fear of censorship or suppression. However, while we prioritize free expression, certain boundaries must be in place to protect the integrity of the community and ensure it remains a space where people feel safe to engage.

This is not a free-for-all. Respect, accountability, and nuance matter. If this doesn’t sit well with you, there are plenty of other spaces on the internet—this just isn’t one of them.


Forum Guidelines: What’s Expected

  • You must be 18 or older to join this community.
  • You have read the Privacy Policy.
  • If you were not invited as a guest, you will be required to verify your identity in some way. This means providing a digital footprint—such as a blog, press features, public social media accounts, or any other credible online presence.
  • If your social media accounts are private, you will need to grant a moderator temporary access for verification purposes.

✅ What We Encourage

  • Curiosity and Learning – Ask questions, explore ideas, and engage in thoughtful discussion.
  • Respect for Different Perspectives – You don’t have to agree, but you do have to engage with integrity.
  • Nuanced Conversations – Complex topics require open-mindedness, patience, and the ability to sit with differing viewpoints.

❌ What Will Not Be Tolerated

While we believe in minimal censorship, certain discussions will not be allowed for the safety and integrity of our community:

🚫 Illegal or Threatening Discussions

  • No threats, incitement of violence, or encouragement of illegal activity.
  • Any form of doxxing, harassment, or targeted attacks will result in immediate removal.

🚫 Substance-Related Topics

  • We understand that certain substances are legal for recreation or medicine. However, this is not the space for those discussions.
  • The only exception: philosophical discussions about laws, cultural use, and societal impact.

🚫 Weapons Discussions

  • No talk of weapon-building, acquiring, or endorsing harm.
  • The only exception: philosophical discussions around laws and cultural perspectives on weapons.

🚫 Hate Speech or Supremacy Discussions

  • This is not a space for debating whether one race, group, or identity is superior to another.
  • If your intention is to push divisive ideologies, this is not the place for you.

🚫 Political and Religious Soapboxing

  • This is a neutral space for discussion, not a stage for pushing personal political or religious agendas.
  • Share ideas, don’t preach. Engage, don’t dominate.

🚫 Disrespect Towards Good-Faith Questions

  • If you get annoyed by people asking questions, this isn’t the space for you.
  • Discussion is meant to be educational and exploratory, not a one-sided debate.

Moderation and Accountability

If someone violates these guidelines:

  1. A moderator will first reach out to clarify and ensure there’s no misunderstanding.
  2. If the issue persists, removal will follow.
  3. There are no exceptions.

This is a private forum. We don’t owe anyone anything. If someone doesn’t like the way this space is run, they are welcome to create their own community or return to the mainstream platforms.

A Final Word from the Founder

There’s a saying here:
“I will sacrifice one for the whole—regardless of who you are—friend or not.”

This space exists to foster meaningful discussions, not to cater to personal entitlement. If you’re here, we assume you value integrity, respect, and deep conversation. If that’s you, welcome.
