I am sick and tired of us (including myself) disecting newcomers and calling them liars. I propose the X Tamed Monsters Policy of 2006 (the full title) we instated into The Law and The Way. I am posting here because I want discussion on it.

(If DV gets the Commandments theme, I want the Constitution theme.  )

We the monsters, in order to form a more perfect commuinty and establish justice, do here by tame ourselves and allow the newcomers to speak. Monsters shall not shoot down one another, for we need to stand together in this cold world. We the monsters shall not hunt for liars as the normies did in the witch trials. We the monsters will learn from eachother, embrace eachother, and never let our brothers and sisters down! Anyone whom shall break these guidelines shall be banished from our community for a time of reflection and meditation, even a man of power.

(Do I need to make an english version or can we get the gist of what I am saying?)

Debate it!

I agree as well. We say that we're a safe haven, and then turn away those who seek refuge. I for one, refer people here if they are looking for answers, or a place to find people of similar beliefs. It's been sad to see some of those very people come to me and say that they were treated poorly.  The Monstrous community as a whole are better than that. We need to embrace our differences, be open to possibilities, and expand our knowledge. Thanks for bringing this up X.

We should atleast have solid evidence before we pounce on someone for saying something.

Thank you everyone for your input.  I truly appreciate everyone's concerns and opinions on the site and its members.

Yes, we do want to distinguish ourselves from a role playing game and establish ourselves as a serious site.  To do so, we need to at times be rather critcal of members and their claims.  We often need to analyze posts to judge character of our members as well.

However, judgements should be kept to the appropriate places mainly ourselves and (when felt necesary) Mod HQ to see if they stand the test of time so to speak.  Even if you do feel necesary to contact the person, always be sure to do so in a civil and calm manner.  So it's ok to privately doubt, just no inquisitions.

I will not be incorporating this into the official rules however I will put this into the appropriate section.  I also expect that all members to not pounce on others due to common courtesey.

I would like to point out just one thing; labels tend to divide. We can already see for ourselves on here what these labels do. I would like to propose that we simply refer to ourselves as the Monstrous People. Just as all those who believe in The American Way are Americans; so will all those who believe in The Monstrous Way be Monstrous People. Of course sub -groups are a good idea for support and research purposes. However, to draw lines in the sand is a bad idea in my own humble opinion.

like an "Unsure what I am, please help" type of forum?

no, more like "Im scared of myself and others fear me to" kind of thing

welcome, lycan, to the Castle Monstrous

I am of the opinion that you have the right to vigorously and passionately defend your point of view.   And if a person posts an opinion based question, lets say "Do you belief in Christians?" they need to be ready for the miriad of replies they are going to recieve. 

That doesn't mean that you can hammer a person for a difference of opinion, but should be able to freely rebuke what another states about your beliefs.

Example:  If someone claims to be a mage but does only non-mage things, any other mage should be able to that out. 

Example:  If someone claims to worship God, be a Christain, and then proceedes to recommend non-Biblical advice on supernatural events I will take them to task.


I apollogize if this doesn't sit well with everyone, I guess it comes being passionate about one's beliefs.

Phantom X, The_Seeker and I have completely different beliefs, but neither of us claims to be the other and have been able to disagree but not attack one another.   I see nothing wrong with that
