Introduction to the New Rules

I’ve been moderating this forum for years and I’ve seen what happens when you let everything go unchecked. I believed so much in free speech that I let people say whatever they wanted.

I allowed quite a lot of space for mistakes because I always believed in peoples capacity to grow. And honestly, quite a number of people managed to flourish past their disruptive phases. But far too often, it would just distort the energy of this place and make it feel unwelcoming. We lost some great people because of it.

Lately I’ve been DJing and it made me see this even clearer. A set only works if you keep the flow consistent. You filter out tracks that don’t fit the energy, because one bad song can kill the whole vibe of the night. It’s the same here. This space is about creating a consistent, uplifting energy where people feel safe to explore, share and grow. To do that, I have to filter out what doesn’t fit.

I accept people as they are and whatever path they’re on but if something disrupts the vibe being nourished here, it doesn’t belong. The rules I’m laying out are for protecting the energy so the community thrives. If you’re here to explore, create, and grow, you’re welcome. If you bring chaos, you won’t last.

That’s the balance I’m setting from now on. These are the rules.

:speech_balloon: Forum Community Rules

The forum exists as an open, engaging space for all kinds of minds. To keep it safe, harmonious and growth-oriented:

  1. Keep Politics Out (for now)

  • Politics today are deeply divisive and disrupt the flow. This forum is about growth and exploration, not culture wars.

  • For now, political debates are off-limits until we establish a stronger culture of mutual respect.

  1. Respect All Journeys

  • People here may explore paths that conflict with your personal views (e.g., masculinity fields or gender transition fields).

  • You don’t have to agree… but you do have to respect. Everyone has the right to their own path. If you don’t approve, don’t comment.

  1. No Virtue Signaling or Culture-Warring

  • If you’re anti-woke, keep it to yourself.

  • If you’re pro-woke, don’t butt in with virtue signaling.

  • In short: let people work on themselves without trying to police or debate their choices.

  1. Growth and Universal Respect

  • The core energy of this forum is growth, respect and acceptance. You are who you are, on your own path and you deserve space here.

  • Support others’ growth even when it looks different from yours. If you have the opposite of supportive words for someone, don’t comment.

  1. No Hostility

  • No insults, attacks, or disrespect toward members or creators.

  • Disagreements must remain respectful. If conflict arises, redirect it to private DMs or a moderated debate space.

  1. Sacred Space Mentality
  • Treat this forum as sacred ground: what you post contributes to the collective vibe. Share with care, curiosity, and the intention to uplift.
  1. Honor Energy Exchange
  • Give as much as you take. If you learn from the community, contribute back with resources, insights,or encouragement.
  1. You Might Get 1 chance
  • Very little tolerance policy. If you mess up in a way where it’s clear you’re very much in the wrong, you’ll get a perma ban. Some situations can be more nuanced and in that case, I will lean towards fairness and may give you one more chance. But…
  • If I feel you are disruptive to the harmonious vibe we’re trying to create here, you will be banned.

Moderation decisions are final. I aim to be fair but the priority is always protecting the community’s harmony.

:globe_with_meridians: Marketplace Guidelines

Our goal is to build a safe, trusted marketplace where people can explore, grow and connect with tools and services for their journey. To keep that trust, these rules apply:

  1. Respect for Buyers and Sellers

  • Do not insult or attack creators. Critique is welcome but hostility is not.

  • As a seller, if you consistently generate negative experiences, I will reach out to you directly. If issues continue, your shop may be paused or closed.

  1. Feedback Process

  • If you have a problem with a purchase, contact the seller first. Most issues can be resolved directly.

  • If no resolution is reached, talk to me on DMs or lumineyee@gmail.com and then decide on posting the feedback on the forum. Keep it fair and constructive.

  1. Safe Works Only

  • No products that manipulate, control, or harm others.

  • No works intended to cause harm to yourself.

  • Anything designed to force feelings, override willpower or attack others is strictly banned.

  • In the end, if I don’t agree with something being posted/sold I will ask to remove it

  1. Confidentiality is Sacred

  • All readings and personal services are bound by confidentiality.

  • If a seller is found sharing client information, they will be ousted and permanently banned.

  1. Trusted Sellers Only

  • Every seller must provide testimonials and proof of credibility.

  • Transparency is required. be clear about what you’re offering, especially if it’s experimental, symbolic or for entertainment purposes.

  • Sellers must respond to messages in a timely manner.

  • Need to have several testimonials to sell

  • Need a name, description and picture for your shop.

  1. Marketplace Integrity

  • No stolen or copied work. If inspired by another’s idea, create your own version… don’t repackage someone else’s content.

  • No spamming or self-promotion outside of your own shop space. You may link to your patreons or other shops in your shop space as well.

    • Cannot have exaggerated and over the top titles like "LILITH 30000X POWER MAX ATTRACTION MARS+PLUTO SCORPIO POWER 500000000X PLUS”. Let’s protect the integrity of the store without those kinds of clickbaity names.

Conclusion

At the end of the day, this space is here to grow and to stay alive with the right energy. The rules are to maintain the right direction and keep the flow steady so people can actually flourish here. If you’re here to build, explore and bring something good, you’ll always be welcome. If you break the flow, you’ll be gone just as quickly.

OK…
New rules, much harsher than before…
I personally find them too restrictive,
but you created this forum, your house, your rules, Sammy.

I can’t believe that I’m saying this, yet I kinda agree with @Alice11, I think that you’re imposing your own vision of what’s good for all of us, yet, again, it’s your right to do so, plus, it’s never gonna be OK for all of us, no matter which rules, exceptions or tolerance you offer.

OK…
Although I will miss certain debates (again, I can also see the angle of them being kinda toxic - maybe not for me, personally, but I can view that), I will try to conform to the new rules, otherwise I’m out lol, and tbh, i dont want that.

For me, I enjoyed seeing the different perspectives, and a degree of freedom which is becoming not so tolerated in today’s world, but I can also understand your vision; after all, I didn’t join this forum to talk politics, social issues or other stuff, I joined for the opportunity to heal and to learn more about the fields and spirituality.

Anyway, as time passed, you allowed us to debate more and more, and naturally, we spoke our minds and debated on countless subjects, even less confortable ones, for some folks.
You even said that you enjoy being challenged and often, we dared to speak our minds without fear, since we thought thst almost all subjects are tolerated and material for discussions.

You have a vision for unity, and we have a choice, either we agree to the terms or we’re out.
Again, just to explain myself, the issue is the flow you mentioned, I personally didn’t see that much of an issue with people complaining, venting, debating, etc., but that’s just me.
Curiously, at first I was baffled that you and Captain allowed us to debate so much, to express ourselves on so many issues,then I found it fascinating, the whole debate thing.

OK…
Now, the good side:

The new rules are pretty sound, logical, quite good, you tried to be impartial towards the different groups (and you silenced us all :sweat_smile:, no bickering allowed; to be fair, it’s only certsin debates which are banned), yet again, some of us enjoyed the previous status quo.

Overall, this is my only complain lol, that I’ll miss certain debates and freedoms you allowed on the forum.
I’m sure I’m not the only one lol.

Yeah, I can (also) definitely see this move as being one done for the good of the community, I can see that; this place is about healing and harmony, not disputes, bickering, etc., I can see that as well.

You and probably quite a lot of people wanted this forum to remain a sanctuary, which is only for healing and other related purposes, like exploring spirituality, self improvement, etc.

Just a couple questions:

Will we be allowed to vent?
I mean will the Venting thread remain open for all kinds of frustrations, pains, misfortunes,injustices, all sorts of complains, etc.?

And will all the previous threads which had discussions about politics and other subjects, will they be allowed to remain on the forum, or will they be(come) hidden?

And one more thing, a last question:

This is my only fear, that in time, other subjects might be banned, like history and sexuality and what not, because certain folks deem certain subjects as being offensive.

I just hope here is where the line is drawn.

And, truly, the last thing:

Even if I expressed my view, I hope you know that I value You, Sammy, as a human being and, the moderators and many other folk, regardless of difference in opinions or views.

I have huge respect for what you did, for Creating this place, for the webinars, for supporting so many of us on our journeys.

That is all.

I hear you and I appreciate you speaking your mind about this. You’re right that the rules are stricter than before and I know that feels like a big shift.

But that’s intentional. Over the years we’ve seen what happens when we leave the doors too wide open. A handful of us enjoy the debates but newcomers often walk in, feel the energy as combative and leave. Some of the best people we’ve lost left because it felt unwelcoming.

Now that we’re opening a marketplace and putting energy into bringing in outsiders, we can’t let that keep repeating. If someone comes here looking for healing, learning or connection and the first thing they see is culture-war arguments, they’re gone before they even start. This has happened quite a number of times.

I’ll admit, I’ve enjoyed debates too but most of the time they spiral and bring no real benefit to the community. Critique and disagreement still have their place when it’s respectful and helps someone grow. What we’re cutting out are topics directed towards certain groups or the endless back-and-forths that divide and drain the vibe.

To be clear, the Venting thread stays. People need space to share struggles. Past political or heated threads won’t be deleted either and they’ll stand as history. And no, this isn’t about banning every tough subject. If someone wants to explore history or sexuality in a way that serves growth, that’s welcome. What doesn’t belong is turning those subjects into battlefields.

I know it can feel like I’m imposing my own vision but that’s the responsibility we carry running this place. There are countless forums where you can say whatever you want and just look at X to see how chaotic that becomes. This space should be different.

Like Twitch streamers who curate communities with strict moderation, we have to filter to keep the energy consistent. A community becomes a morphic field of its own through focus and we want the field here to be one of welcome, support, and respect.

That doesn’t mean these discussions are gone forever. If we build a strong enough foundation, I believe we’ll be able to hold space for them again in a healthier way. But right now, we’re choosing to strengthen the sanctuary this place was always meant to be.

If you’re here to grow, learn, and contribute positively, you’ll always be welcome. If you’re here to stir conflict, you won’t last. That’s the balance and it’s the only way this community can thrive.
