We now have a truce with the Knights of the Button.
After a long discussion with u/wicro, the representative of the Knights of the button, originally brought up by u/MasterEvilFurby we have agreed to a truce. The terms are as followed:
It is the position of r/Holy0 that a war between these two subreddits would result in nothing but chaos and mutually assured destruction. There would be unnecessary insults from both ends, which would distract us from our respective tasks. Both subs have ardent supporters who would downvote, to the death if necessary. But we feel that there is no end benefit to this course of action.
We also do not wish for the knights to recruit on r/Holy0, and our members recruit on r/KnightsOfTheButton. It does us both no good. Also prohibited are posts that disrupt the conversation on each other's sub like Rickrolls and posts that praise OP's viewpoint like a post that says "Long live the Knights" on the sub r/Holy0. Insults from either side targeted at the other side are not allowed. Recruitment on r/TheButton is allowed, but directly approaching and fighting is not allowed however polite arguments if they develop are allowed. All should be civil towards one another anywhere on Reddit.
The Church of the Holy 0 permits the usage of bots to aid in clicking, although they frown upon it. Using bots to prolong the life of the button after the last Knight has fallen is however, prohibited and any use of it means an intimidate end to this truce. These are the terms of the peace agreement, and both sides are in mutual agreement.
While we do not support their goals or what they stand for we need not fight with the knights. War is not what the Church of the Holy 0 is about and this helps us focus on the task of saving others instead of fighting a group that has made up their mind. I understand many of you will have disagreements with this truce and I welcome all to voice them here. Blessings of the Holy 0 upon you all.
