Fandoms/Politics/Religion/etc.
While all groups[1] are welcome here there are a few restriction that we must put in place to ensure that everyone can get along. First off discussion is allowed of your beliefs/activities/interests in the main channel as long as it does not get out of hand and stays orderly/polite. Once the discussion gets out of hand moderators will step in to calm the situation down. It is necessary to stop this discussion immediately upon request from a moderator. If needed disciplinary actions such as kicks and chat bans will be issued. Purposfully bashing or flame-baiting (trying to get a reaction against a certain group by using negative phrases or words) will be punished by first a kick, and then if continued a 3 day chat ban. This ban wil go up with each successive occurence of the situation.

Discussion Of Moderator Action
The discussion of banned person(s) will not be tolerated in the main channel. Making comments about a kick or ban on the main channel is prohibited and only serves to escalate the situation. If you wish to inquire as to why the moderator in question has taken the actions that they did you may contact them via Private Message. Alternatively you will be able to check the wikis logs if the user was banned by chat. Moderators do reserve the right to not discuss their action with users. Discussing the actions taken on the main channel are punishable by two kicks followed by a 2 hour chat ban that will increase with each instance of the situation.
