Sin Nomine : VC Terms : "Laws"

=Sin Nomine=

Sin Nomine (Sin No-me-nay) is a punishment of the vampire community to individuals who do not agree with their beliefs, concepts, or otherwise troll communities.

In Latin, Sin Nomine means to “inclusively nominate” someone. But it does not stop this person from being real vampiric if they are truly are. You will continue of course to drink blood and energy from various sources like normal. This is why the online vampire community is a joke to so many people. Sin Nomine is a popular rule of Ordo Strigoi Vii and also the Sanguinarium. These websites are popular swan, donor and lifestyler hangouts. Nothing against them personally – it’s just that some people believe it stops a person from being a vampire all together when it does not.

Being banned from a community forum or chat is not the be all horror most people seem to believe it could be. Wow, you won’t fit in with someone’s ideals of you, and for you. Don’t be used by people, and don’t let them tell you what you should do or act like.

Many message board and forum Terms state that “such acts” such like sin nomine would be considered as bullying online. Cyber bullying is now a crime on the web. Even self hosted forums on one’s own server should be careful of cyber bullying.

Trust me, if you don’t fit in, it’s probably a good thing.
