Speechless

The Club Speechless is a club that is solely focused on discussing controversial topics in a civilised manner while remaining respectful and considerate to other users. We are compromised of users with differing perspectives on issues and who believe in conversing in genuine and heartfelt debates, politics, and topics of interest. The Need The addition of CE and CD Rule 7 has meant that discussing sensitive topics such as race and immigration has becoming increasingly difficult. The rule was originally implemented because of high amounts of rule-breaking, rule-bending, and repeated offenders in these boards in mostly controversial topics. While the aims of the implementation of Rule 7 may be for the better, it has also meant that responsible and normal users have lost the platform for civilised discussion and debate, as most threads of controversial topics are being locked in an inconsistent enforcement of the rule. This club exists as not a way to circumvent the rules, but to create a platform where sensitive discussion can take place with mature users who are not toxic or ignorant to the topic at hand—all the while following the A, B, and C criteria of Rule 7. The Rules ▪ Follow all the website guidelines ▪ Respect all perspectives ▪ Do not reply with the intent to abuse or harass ▪ Source factual information (e.g. statistics) But Note That ▪ No one is obliged to agree with any perspective ▪ Insults are an essence of debate ▪ Morals are subjective ▪ All beliefs are valid if justified
