Community Guidelines
Magnasce aims to be a calm, neutral public square for religious discussion. So that people of different beliefs can talk with mutual respect, all members follow the guidelines below.
1. Core Principles
- Comparison and debate are welcome. You are free to compare religions and to ask about and debate doctrine.
- Do not attack people. Mocking or demeaning a specific religion, faith, or its believers, or inciting hatred, discrimination, or violence, is prohibited. Criticize ideas and arguments only — and do so politely.
- Do not pressure others. Coercing conversion, repetitive propaganda, and flooding promotion are restricted.
- Respect prayer and practice spaces. Prayer/practice boards prioritize reflection and comfort over debate. Provoking disputes there violates the board's purpose.
- Safety first. Disclosure of personal information, threats, and illegal content may be acted on immediately.
2. Prohibited Content and Conduct
The following are subject to reporting and sanctions (linked to report reasons).
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Religious disparagement | Mocking or demeaning a specific religion, faith, or its believers |
| Hate speech | Hateful, discriminatory, or violent expression against a group |
| Violence / threats | Physical threats, incitement to violence |
| Obscene / illegal | Obscene material, encouragement of illegal acts |
| Personal information exposure | Disclosing another person's personal information without consent |
| Spam / flooding | Repeated promotion, meaningless flooding |
| Off-purpose use | Use contrary to a board's purpose, such as provoking disputes on a prayer board |
| Impersonation | Impersonating another person, a moderator, or an organization |
3. Images and Nicknames
- The prohibitions above apply equally to profile images and nicknames.
- Images or nicknames containing hate, obscenity, violence, or impersonation may be restricted or removed.
4. Reports and Automatic Hiding
- Anyone can report an inappropriate post or comment (duplicate reports of the same target are not allowed).
- When reports against the same post or comment reach 10, it may be automatically and temporarily hidden.
- Automatic hiding is not final deletion. After moderator review, content found unproblematic is restored; confirmed violations may lead to removal, warnings, or suspension.
- The author is notified that the content was "temporarily hidden due to accumulated reports."
5. Blocking
A member can block another user so that user's posts and comments are no longer visible to them. Blocking is a personal measure, separate from reporting.
6. Consequences of Violations
Violations are handled under the Report & Sanction Policy through the stages of warning → 24-hour posting restriction → 7-day posting restriction → permanent suspension. Serious violations — such as clearly illegal content, threats, or disclosure of personal information — may be met with immediate, stronger measures. See the Report & Sanction Policy for detailed standards and appeals.
7. Let's Keep It Together
The quality of this community is created by all of its members. Please talk with respect and an open mind toward one another's beliefs.
Addendum: These Guidelines take effect on July 7, 2026.
