Contract of Dark Discussion Usage
The Dark Council reserves the right to edit or remove materials, in Dark Discussion.
Dark Discussion is the home to those of the Dark Aspect. This means the Dark Students, Knights and Masters. All others are guests there, and they are most welcome guests.
The Dark Road is not easy, in fact it is the most dangerous of paths. One bad step, and the student can get harmed. Although pain and suffering only serves the purpose of learning, no one wishes the crippling of his students.
Students posting there are advised to think of it as a Dojo.
A martial arts dojo. In such places, there is always strict order maintained. If a student engages in dangerous practices, like acrobatics, where one bad step or moment can be FATAL, the instructor gives him attention, and makes sure that nothing distracts him. And he only allows him to jump, until he deems him ready to do it. He has responsibility. Thus, he maintains order.
A Dojo has spirituallity. It is a place of philosophy, spiritual learning, and common practices of the likeminded. Of brothers and sisters who learn with each other, and help each other. Often by competing or contesting. That is natural and productive.
The Dark Discussion is a Dark Dojo. It serves as a place for dark students, to come together, engage in activities, and to discuss and learn Dark Spirituallity. It is their home, their Sanctum.
Posts of members of other aspects are most welcome, IF they do not try to disturb the aura of the Dojo. You are not advised to engage in painting easter eggs, reading Nietzsche, or repairing a bycycle in a maths class, no matter how nice or productive these activities might be in another time, or another place. That simply would distract from the topic, and serve as a mean to direct the attention of the student into a "more conveniant direction". Thus, all views, posts, and replies of members of other aspects, that do not serve or respect the spirituallity of Darkness shall be removed to general, deleted or edited.
The Council reminds all who enter Dark Discussion, that nobody forces them to do so. General discussion is intended for communication between members of different aspects. And the lounge is intended to be "the playground".
Dark students are free to post anything into Dark Discussion. It is their dojo. The purpose of the Council is to educate THEM. If they make mistakes or failures, they shall be educated to see them, and correct them themselves.
The council always expresses its gratitude and respect, however , to those not of the Dark aspect, who post materials of worth into Dark Discussion. Posts that contain Dark spirituallity, help the students in progressing on the dark path, or put something of worth or interest to threads, are always welcome.
No posts, which would disturb the productivity, spirituallity, standard or aura of dark discussions, in any sense, are welcome.
