@synergy @Johann trust me on this one ( I know its a big ask ) since technically its my forum along with the admin. I trust his judgement and I stay away from doing those tasks because I like to interact and post with the members. I can say this without reservation that if this was any other forum and some of those who respond to me like they do here with moderators on other forum they would be banned.
I'm very tolerant and when I get called satan, evil , going to hell for not believing in wrath upon Jesus, false teaching and a myriad of other things its an instant ban on other forums. I respond back with scripture to support my claims and don;t return ad homs back at the person. I have asked the adminstrator to delete certain words or demeaning comments about me or others I read here and bring it to his attention.
For the most part we are the most tolerant christian website and do not want or desire to ban anyone. All we ask is people respect the very few rules we have which are here. Its really not a big ask compared to other forums.
