Behold the 18th Commandment

Thou shallt not engage in shitposting of the Religion group.


Henceforth, any off-topic meta type OP shall be deemed a flagrant violation of the 18th Commandment.

Any member in good standing of the Religion group can make the call to declare a violation of the 18th Commandment and even if this call is disputed by any other member in good standing, the judgement of violation will continue to stand as righteous.

So it is written, and so it shall be.

Let me be the first to declare "18th Commandment" on this OP.

Soon I'm going to declare a 19th Commandment which designates any commandment subsequent to the 18th as heretical.

"Shitposting is posting large amounts of content of "aggressively, ironically, and trollishly poor quality"[1] to an online forum or social network,[2][3][4][5] in some cases intended to derail discussions or otherwise make the site unusable to its regular visitors."

...since it appears that commandments* are hierarchical by numeric posting, I have thusly created the Null Commandment* (i.e. the one that comes before any other proffered commandment* past, present or future).

Ahem...I giveth you the Null Commandment*:

Commandments* are hierarchical by numeric posting and there are no valid commandments* after the Null Commandment*.









*Not to be confused with condiments.

If true, we'd have to believe the 9th trumps the 11th when obviously it does not.

So you'll have to make your own commandment for that as well.

Because I happen to like ketchup, although I find myself using salsa more and more.
