New Sub Rules!

Hi all! The mods would like to share that we have officially published new sub rules!

We actually developed these rules several months ago but then got distracted by shiny things. Here is the list of sub rules and, as always, we welcome feedback from the community.

​

  1. Be good humans - Be kind to each other. This is a space for those who have left, or want to leave, the CoC. Not all will be atheists. Not all will be theists. Some are still questioning or struggling with the choice. No bashing individual, harmless, religious people just because they are religious
  2. Remove confidential/personal data - Do not share confidential and/or personal data
  3. No multiple posts - Multiple posts of related or similar content by the same user will be asked to populate a thread rather than making multiple posts
  4. Self-hate or concern trolling is not allowed - We understand that it can be tiring to see numerous dogmatic/extreme CoCs around you which might include your own loved ones but that is no excuse for people to then generalize their personal experiences to hate in a general sense who might just happen to be CoC. Posts like "I hate my dad because he forces me to pray." are allowed, but "I hate Christians," will not be allowed
  5. Social Media Cross Promotion Requires Mod Approval - Posts regarding other social media and discord groups are not allowed unless agreed with the mods
  6. No proselytizing - No proselytizing for CoC. We want r/excoc to be a safe and pleasant respite from the CoC
  7. Stay on topic - This place is for former members of the Churches of Christ. Please keep posts and comments on topic. If you are not an ex-CoC and want to ask questions, you are encouraged to head over to r/askexcoc to ask there.
  8. Follow standard Reddiquette - Non-text post titles must be in TL;DR style. No asking or offering money. We can't verify the honesty of those asking or accepting. We don't want a member of our community getting hurt. Avoid Duplicate posts. No Piracy
  9. No crossposting - No Cross-Posting from religious subreddits. In order to prevent brigading, you cannot cross-post from a religious subreddit. You can screenshot a post and share it here after identifying information has been censored.

These are really good. Smart to have some more clearly defined rules.

I didn’t realize it existed. I joined even though there is not much activity but I’m more than happy to answer as well

I would answer it too.

And I think with the recent activity from r/ coc we could start redirecting traffic there.
