-	~~=== Shrine channel rules ===~~
-	~~We reasonably assume that everyone on our Discord server is a responsible, reasonable, discerning, and knowledgeable adult.~~
-
-	~~==== Accessing Shrine ====~~
-	~~Access and usage of the Shrine channel is first and foremost a '''privilege'''. '''If you want to access #shrine, you must request access from a staff member.'''~~
-
-	'''The only requirement you must meet is to be Level 10 at least'''. Once you send your request to a staff member, you will receive one unless we have compelling evidence you shouldn't be on this channel, or unless you aren't Level 10 yet.
-
-	~~==== What Shrine is for ====~~
-
-	~~The channel description is as follows:~~
-
-	* ''Politics, religion, venting, heavy or opinionated discussions in general. The place where you can fully exercise Rule #2 without disturbing other channels. Be mindful of the rules, as they still fully apply.''
-	* ''You have an obligation to be on your best behavior in this channel. ANY drama will be punished. All perpetrators will be punished. The staff reserves the right to put all participants in drama on mute in order to put it to a stop - this is not intended to be construed as a punishment. Further action will be done to the relevant perpetrators if and when staff determines it's necessary. This includes staff members.''
-
-	As the description implies, you can use #shrine for discussion of any serious, politically inclined topic, for debates of a political, religious, or otherwise serious nature, for discusison of the news, or simply for venting.
-
-	~~The rules on #shrine are the same as those on the unrestricted channel, however the staff reserves itself the right to take away your Shrine Pass if you act in a consistently negative manner.~~
