ShiaTalk Rules

Note: This is an Islamic site, anything that is not noted below and is considered unIslamic will not be allowed. Laws of Islam and Shari'a are implemented in this site strictly.


1. Blasphemy of any kind towards Allah (sw), Prophet Muhammad (saww), the Ahlul-Bayt and any Prophet of Allah, shall be met with a permanent ban from this site. No warning is necessary.

2. Disrespect to any Mujtahid, Marja' Taqleed, or religious authority will not be tolerated whatsoever.

3. Cursing of the 3 "Caliphs" (Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman by name or number) as well as Sunni scholars is strictly prohibited. This involves cursing by name, swear words and defamatory language. The Moderator/Admin team also reserve the right to edit/delete posts or ban members in accordance with the application of these rules. This is the only way to keep peace between the 2 parties and allow constructive discussions.

4. No swear words, unmannered replies or racist comments, especially when directed at other members. A warning followed by a temporary ban shall be met. If a member repeats their offensive or racist language, a permanent ban will take place. No excuses.

5. We encourage members to be courteous to others, and treat fellow members the way they wish to be treated. Intelligent discourse and freedom of expression is encouraged, as long as it is exercised with responsibility. Insults made against other members on this board are not tolerated, even those made via PM. Warnings will be issued to offending members.

6. Member profiles, names, signatures, avatars or titles which are overtly sexual or contain tasteless references to sexual organs and offensive nicks are to be avoided. A request to conform will be followed by a ban if member does not comply.

7. Non-Islamic Advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are inappropriate on this site and considered spam. Anyone found doing this will be banned immediately. You're free to advertise your Islamic site to a certain extent however.

8. If a member is issued with a suspension or ban, they are not allowed to register a new account to post whilst restrictions are in place. Suspensions and bans are given for a reason, and a member is expected to respect and abide by the decisions made by the Moderating team. If a member registers another account whilst suspended/banned, that account will be banned immediately, and the member will be penalized further.


Members are only allowed 3 warnings, in which a decision would be made whether to apply a permanent or temporary ban. Moderators will send a warning (via PM) or in the post itself after editing out any improper comments that disobey any of the above rules. Moderators also reserve the right to delete an entire post or topic if it conflicts any of the above rules. Members may ask for a log of their warnings from any mod at anytime.

Also note that this site is open for everyone, Muslim or not. Everyone is asked to respect each other as brothers and sisters and respect each others' faith, background and origin. Any attack by anyone towards any of the faiths will not be allowed and would be served by a warning. Muslims are to act as such towards any non-Muslim guests or guests of other faiths. Those of other faiths are to respect this forum and its rules as much as they wish to be respected.

Disclaimer: The administrators reserve the right to add, modify, or remove any of these rules at any time. Rule changes apply to past, current and future posts/material.
