- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]

Catholic clergy are done molesting children...
No, they're not
Since when? Has Hell frozen over?
A couple years ago it was an issue in Christian religious organizations bad enough that there's plenty of memes about it. How much this is still the case, I do not know
It was an enormous issue under Pope Benedict, yes, and then I think Pope Francis took things in the complete opposite direction and cracked down on the issue. But alas, it's still a problem. And not really just in churches but anywhere where an in-loco-parentis system is involved, which includes things like regular school teachers and daycare providers as well, which is one contributing factor against the idea of children in regular occupations. As an asexual, a part of me wonders if simply screening people would solve the issue.
