No attempting to spread religion. Raven mentioned there were a couple users who were derailing and attempting to spread beliefs and that could easily make people uncomfortable.

as if they care

@w1ckedsticky1983 spawnism is kinda different from Christianity, it being like a literal cult worshipping a literal spawn point in Roblox that has groomed children and encouraged them to hurt themselves

It's also all based on a made-up fake cult from a Roblox game called Forsaken, that the creeps on roblox decided to turn into a real cult to hurt many children with. At least this rule prevents anyone from encouraging anyone to involve themselves with it though (the rule also prevents anyone from randomly derailing topics or public chats with actual religious statements, which also works out).

@UnpaidIntern not necessarily my point, I know what spawnism is. Its just that Christianity (just an example) has been used throughout years to harm. Whether it'd be killing someone or persecuting them for who they are, it's not all that different in that sense that it targets people at their lowest points. Its not about the original intention of something, it's about how it affects people.

Also, that was just a certain discord server where some creep was doing that, not spawnism as a whole, but it's understandable that it leaves a bad taste in people's mouths when it's mentioned with that kind of reputation. Spawnism at its core beliefs is basically js smth that means rebirth or whatever,, and doesn't force you to carve yourself or any of that bs. I'm not even a spawniet myself lmao, I js think that's its stupid to ban something as a whole when it's just a small percentage of the userbase being annoying about it. Hell, I even think it's stupid myself, but I'm not gonna go and attack you for it or wtvr

@w1ckedsticky1983 Yeah exactly, it's about how it affects people, not its original intention. Unlike spawnism, Christianity has actually been used for good sometimes. Christianity has been used to encourage morality and has given hope when truly needed. You also mentioned how spawnism at it's core beliefs is about rebirth, but that also falls under original intention and not actual effects (you kinda conflicted with yourself there). Plus, if original intention suddenly matters, Christianity at its core encourages people to be decent human beings and forbids killing people or persecuting people for who that are. Spawnism's only actual effects has been discord servers ran by creeps, the harming of children, and encouraging children to join random online cults. Attacking other people is also never okay regardless, i'm not saying to do that or even do anything tbh.
