Application of warnings or bans will be subject to moderator discretion. Feel free to appeal. If changes to the guidelines are necessary, they will be adjusted.


If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a group that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of any other group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you you will be banned on sight.

Provable means able to provide proof to the moderation, and, if necessary, to the community.

At one point the qualifications for membership were that one must be 21 years old, possess a good character, not be a Communist and be a Caucasian. By the late 1970s the all-white provision had officially been rescinded, but, because the Order used the blackball to admit new members, it was difficult for minorities to gain membership. In 1979 the FOE tried to get a lawsuit dismissed that alleged it was violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by not allowing African Americans to use their athletic facilities. The article stated that a local Eagle official could only cite Joe Louis as a black member of the FOE

And let them hit us with "the first colony in space was chrash'an"? No thanks.

Doesn’t the moon have a “nobody allowed to claim it” pact thing going on? We can just send them there and let them be impotent all they like. They can have their one dumb-ass dome colony of religious nutters, and we can watch them struggle without capable maintainers.

Hell, we could fund the whole thing by making it a reality show.

Let them colonize the sun. That'd show us no-good heathens who's boss, when we have to look up at their new home every day. Surely their god will keep them safe on such a glorious bit of missionary work.
