Scientology Chat is a privately-run Scientology discussion board that is NOT for everyone (Scientology members only)! We reserve the right turn down anyone's application or to kick someone off if they are breaking our basic RULES AND GUIDELINES below or just being all-around jerks (IE Scientology critics). If you're cool, love Scientology, and are here to appropriately discuss it with fellow Scientology members, all should be well. If not, you'll most likely find yourself out of here on your ass and may even be served lawsuit papers from The Church’s unstoppable legal team.
Basic Rules & Guidelines:
#1: You do not talk about Scientology Chat.
#2: You do NOT TALK about Scientology Chat.
#3: Seriously, DON’T FUCKING TALK about Scientology Chat.
Ok joking aside, let’s get serious:
Rule #1: Nothing Illegal. No child porn, no bestiality, no copyrighted material, no death threats. If it's illegal, do not do it, UNLESS it benefits the Church of Scientology and its collective members as a whole, in which case Scientology will simply sue the U.S. government if it tries to get in our way, and Scientology will win due to its invincible team of highly paid lawyers. If you commit this act just 1 time, you will be banned no questions asked and we may even take legal steps depending on the context of your offense (but not very likely unless it’s related to Scientology).
Rule #2: No nudity and nothing pornographic of ANY kind. This is a board designed to incite discussions about Scientology, not your personal fantasies. Failure to comply will result in a warning. Continued failure to comply will result in a ban, but a lawsuit is unlikely.
Rule #3: No Spam. Don't spam the forums by advertising your site over and over (if you wish to advertise another different Scientology related site, contact the admin via PM or email and he will advertise it for you if it is deemed worthy of it). Don't post one or two word replies unless that's all the topic asks for. You should have a good idea of what is considered spam, so don't do it! Also, don’t flood the boards with meaningless crap in some attempt at trying to attack us or get under our skin. Failure to comply will result in a warning. Continued failure to comply will result in a ban and your ass handed to you in court in the near future.
Rule #4: No racist/bigoted/sexist hate speech is allowed UNLESS it reflects the opinions of and is approved by The Church of Scientology. Failure to comply will result in a warning. Continued failure to comply will result in a ban and may even become a lawsuit depending on the context of your violations (if it is hate speech directed to Scientology, there will be NO warning. See the “critics” rule down below).
Rule #5: No insults or flame wars of ANY kind. You’re all Scientologists here, so there shouldn’t be ANYTHING to disagree about. Failure to comply will result in a warning. Continued failure to comply will result in another warning. Even further failure to comply will result in YET ANOTHER warning. If you reach 12 warnings regarding repeated violations of this rule, we will have no choice but to ban you.
Rule #6: Make sure that what you’re posting is in the correct forum. Failure to comply will result in a warning. Continued failure to comply will result in a ban, but no lawsuit.
Rule #7: Don’t post doppelganger threads. Use the search function to see if what you’re posting has been posted already. Failure to comply will result in a warning. Continued failure to comply will result in a ban, but no lawsuit.
Rule #8: Use spell check and demonstrate proper grammar and punctuation. Don’t type in all caps either. You’re representing Scientology on the internet, and The Church cannot afford to have its members appear to be uneducated and illiterate…well, they COULD afford it, but they’d rather not because it’s bad publicity, and if it’s one thing we don’t need, its bad publicity. Failure to comply will result in a warning. Continued failure to comply will result in a ban, but no lawsuit (unless the term “grammar Nazi” is used towards the staff or admin of the board).
Rule #9: If you call any forum staff member (mods and/or admin) on them breaking the forum rules themselves, you will be INSTANTLY banned. You can also expect to promptly hear from our immortal legal department.
Rule #10: If you call any forum staff member (mods and/or admin) on a sporadic tendency of enforcing the rules, you will be INSTANTLY banned and can expect to see the inside of a court room within the next 2 weeks.
Rule #11: If your posting style becomes too much of a burden for the admin to read through (IE too many quotes, too long of posts, poor spelling/grammar/punctuation, etc.), even though he has mods that can read them so he doesn’t have to, you will be asked to change your posting style. If you refuse to comply, you will be banned for insubordination, but not taken to court.
Rule #12: If you express an uncaring nature towards being banned or if you flat out asked to be banned, then you will in fact be banned.
Rule #13: Only mention Zenu in relation to the context of Scientology’s back story. Any mentions of Zenu in a PRAISING manner will result in an INSTANT ban and an INSTANT lawsuit.
Rule #14: If you are a dirty Scientology critic, I STRONGLY advise you to stop reading at this moment, leave here and never return. You are all the unclean scum of the Earth whose sole purpose is to hinder the progress of mankind that Scientology is trying to allow. If you join and post a bunch of negative propaganda against Scientology, you will be INSTANTLY banned and can be GUARANTEED to be taken to court and perhaps EVEN WORSE as declared in the Fair Game policy.
Remember:
These are just the BASIC rules and regulations of this board. Due to the fact that it’s impossible to have a rule in place for every possible scenario or situation, we reserve the right to ban ANYONE at ANYTIME for ANYTHING even if it’s not listed in any of the rules above. We also reserve the right to make changes to the rules at ANYTIME and to NOT have to state the reason(s) for the change. Also remember that when you post, your IP address is logged, and if you get out of line, your IP address can and will be turned over to Church officials where you will be subjected to the Fair Game policy (which, obviously, includes you being sued for everything you have) depending on the severity and context of your offense.
By joining you also acknowledge that if you are banned, we reserve the right to drop your name on the board as much as we please, and if you retaliate in any way to this or your banning from this board for ANY reason, you can expect to be in front of a judge within the month. If you find yourself in court for any infractions of any of the rules on here and by some miracle WIN your case, our team of lawyers will appeal and continue to appeal as often as necessary. If even the Supreme Court rules in your favor or flat out refuses to hear our case, we will promptly sue the entire government of The United States of America just to prove a point.
Thanks for choosing Scientology Chat and enjoy your stay here!
