These are the basic forum rules. If you violate these rules, the admin and mods will PM you about it. If it happens multiple times or if there are multiple complaints after the initial PM, you'll just be removed from the forum.
Rule #1 - Relax
Online forums can be a hot bed of drama, so just chill. Keep in mind that you can always walk away from your computer. Not everyone will agree with you and you won't always agree with everyone else. Stay civilized.
Rule #2 - Stay Niche
This is a gothic lifestyle forum. We're here to share our love of gothic things with each other. We don't want to hear about how much you love Disney or Barbie or G.I. Joe. You can post that over on facebook. Keep your gentrification out of our subculture please.
Rule #3 - Social & Cultural Acceptance
We are the weirdos. Since the early days of goth we have been accepting of all types of people, all types of religions, and all types of sexuality. If you have an issue with it, that's on you. Look deep within and ask yourself why. I suggest reading some Poppy Z Brite or Anne Rice to really grasp what I'm getting at.
Rule #4 - No Hate Speech
We don't tolerate hate speech.
Rule #5 - Knowledge is Power
It should be noted that the gothic subculture is definitely a promoter of intelligence and learning. We're very literary, artsy, historically savvy, innovators, soapbox warriors, and social/cultural promoters. If you ask a question or make a statement about something, we simply ask you to back it up with facts or to have a backbone and stick with your own words. Spelling and grammar matters.
