Re: Just Wondering.....
I'm kind of disappointed that we had to fight so hard to get the term outlawed, but that's just me--and I guess it is water under the bridge.

This is news to me. I guess I missed that fight.
Wow.
That is very telling.

I wouldn't say that is true at all.
Also, there wasn't ONE reported post.
Like we've tried to explain OVER and OVER - - all of admin aren't here 24/7. There was only one here that night - we closed the thread. We discussed, we came to a decision and reopened the thread the next morning.
Miss Bratt that really wasn't fair.

Okay, maybe it wasn't, but it felt that way, since you and another admin spent more time trying to explain the other guy's position rather than squashing the offense.
Just my perspective, Renda. I'm not always reasonable or balanced--some things simply make me feel highly UNreasonable.

Not worth hashing all over again, but we got many, many responses from posters (conversatives too) that knew what he was trying to say.

I'm really not for censorship overall, but this is a CHRISTIAN forum, and we don't allow curse words or name calling or insults, and I think that harshly insulting basic Apostolic beliefs ought to be off limits.
JMO, of course.

As one of the admins who got in at the tail end of all the problems, I would like to repeat that there was not ONE single reported post. IF there had been, perhaps some of the other admins who weren't involved could have discussed things and taken care of it. Instead, it went on for pages and pages-- and personally I wasn't going to take time to read it all.
Self moderation...Use the report button. You should know how much help that is to an admin team.

I understand completely. You're not the only one, but I will drop it too.

You'll have to read Bro Eastman's thread.
But the posts with the banned word in it may have been sanitized.

The term was was a poor choice of words and has been retracted and apologized for publicly. From this point forward please do not use this term, reference this term or question this term.
We have the ability to close the thread for a few days and sanitize the thread of the term, however, we do not have the manpower or hours to do that.
Please accept this post as the sanitizing of the term.
Resume the original discussion.

Re: Just Wondering.....
I appreciate admin. I used to moderate a board a number of years back. Not a job I want.
