Rule Update!

NightmareWolfie

Greetings everyone

I have heard a lot about a Spawnism ban, and after discussion with Raven we have decided to unban it. However, given the site's history with it, we decided to set some guidelines to help keep order, especially given Spawnism's complex history. All of the rules in this announcement will apply to all religions to maintain equality. To help those who dislike reading blocks, I will put the new changes in list format:

1. No derailing non-related posts with religious statements or it will result in increased punishment if there is a report

2. No religious speak can discuss self harm or sexual behavior. If you wish to discuss those topics, it is to be done in a casual manner or preferably in DMs. Also cannot be in the topic.

3. 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.

4. This one is the most important. NO RELIGION IN PUBLIC CHATS, ONLY TOPICS AND POSTS IN TOPICS RELATED TO IT.

With all of this said, please behave yourselves. Thank you!

I would like to note that you said RELIGION, as in EVERYONE with ANY religion. It’s really icky when anyone pressures any form of religion (including lack there of)
(Ik I’m just a random user but this might need to be clarified for some people)

NightmareWolfie

@french_fry_guy I called that put explicitly in the little paragraph, want it capitalized?

NightmareWolfie

Entire reason I updated the rules was for equality

french_fry_guy

Ikikikik dw, this is a really peak rule and really necessary, I didn’t see the part about all religion until I re-read it after I had already posted that so that’s my bad

THANK YOU WOLFIE this was really needed, especially after that discussion in the satanism topic <//3

NightmareWolfie

@st4tic Of course :3

NightmareWolfie

@french_fry_guy No no, you're fine, that's why I asked if you'd like me to capitalize it

french_fry_guy

@NightmareWolfie either that or put it in bold, if people only see the part abt Spawnisim then they might feel excluded
(Sorry again, it’s really not my place considering you’re Co-Admin)

Thank you twinnn

The worst decision of ALL time

@Rusty as long as no one's trying to force religion... you can just not click

@st4tic I know but i dont think spawnism should really exist in general

@Rusty i feel the same for Christianity and religion in general, yet i still let mfs have their shit

Rusty

@w1ckedsticky1983 Is this criticism

w1ckedsticky1983

@Rusty depends how you wanna take it

Rusty

Ok

@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).

w1ckedsticky1983

@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
