This is something I’m pleased to see addressed.
Topics and stances which are ill-intended, hateful, bad vibe topics of discussion probably don’t need to be present on a shared, public community site - and even scholarly discussion between the good natured (not the cheeky game of “I’m not touching you” version of discussion) are far too readily misunderstood by bad actors who’d claim discomfort. Topics like these are something which should be occurring in the first destination of the MUCK.
Ideally, these things should not be why people are opting to come to the MUCK which is ideally focused around IC interaction or at least good vibes.
I do wonder if this rule regarding politics and religion should be a public zone/in-public rule which doesn’t extend to private areas or private conversation between users who wish to engage in civil discussion? I do however feel that the abuse rule should remain site-wide public/private for obvious reasons. Good Faith vs Bad Faith sorta energy obviously.
Also: Might be good to make sure people know not to take the law into their own hands, as an encouragement for people to be good rather than asking forgiveness after very intentionally breaking the rules because it wasn’t explicitly stated to be good. >_>;
