Political Debate Warning

[Haru'Shimo]

I will say this ONCE, and ONLY ONCE.

This IS NOT a Political forum, and will never be so long as I exist here.

THIS IS EVERYONE'S LAST WARNING.
If that seems unfair, I'm afraid that's a fact of life.
Rules are created when individuals don't have the common sense to leave well-enough alone.

Any further political debate/derailment/arguments on this forum, will warrant 50% Warning to all involved parties, Staff included, and immediate relocation of all posts to the Junkyard for reference purposes.
- 25% For applicable broken rules.
- 25% For ignoring this warning.

There are literally HUNDREDS of websites for people to go argue about politics.

THIS ISN'T ONE OF THEM.

If have any concerns regarding this rule, the reason it's being instated, and wish to voice those grievances, feel free to do so TO ME VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE.
So long as it is done so civilly, doing so in a PM won't result in any negative actions against anyone. This is being done for everyone's benefit and to maintain a place that ALL Otherkin and Therians are welcome. Religious and Political arguments only serve to drive a wedge between factions that need not exist here.

Speaking of this warning, all staff members have agreed upon a rule being added to the Forum Rules about "Current Politics", thus the following has been added it:

"• Current Politics in either posts or member signatures are not allowed.
(Historical reference is fine. Current political leaders/parties incites unneeded conflict with no relevance to Otherkin/Therianthropy.)"

The warning level increase per infraction will follow the warning post above due to the increase of issues between members arguing "Current Politics". As all of us staff agree, these arguments are not beneficial to anyone's personal growth and only serve to divide members rather than build a community of friends. If anyone has concerns/issues with this rule being instated, they can group PM all staff into a single PM to voice those concerns.
