toldailytopic: Do you think TOL bans members too frequently, or not frequently enough
TOL Topic of the Day - Chime In!Every day we will post a new topic and we want to get your comments on that topic. The topic could be about literally anything from the vague to the specific, important or trivial. The TOL membership can take that topic and run with it!
Slogan/motto:
...the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things— that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love thei
Or that. I did not know you could collect infractions.
I don't know if it's on everyone's screen or not. But, I can see when people have "stacked" or "collected" infractions. Meshak, for example, has a few infractions. I won't go into great detail because I don't know if this is something that just moderators see or if everyone can see it. I see it on the left side of each post if a person has any infractions right under their location (if they have put it on their profile).
Although I don't have any infractions, I will use myself as an example:

If I had any infractions, it would show up under join date and say something similar to Infractions: 1/2 (1).
June is Gay Pride Month. Tolerance and diversity? More like tolerate perversity.
[Meshak] "It doesn't save you from repercussions from being a forum pest and breaking the rules."
Do you think it's right to ban a member for being a pest? I believe Joey got a lifetime ban for this--and he's a Christian! 1 Pe 3:8. I could see a day or a week--but forever. What did he do? Prove that sock puppet accounts are undetectable because you can keep changing your IP address? Did he ask too many questions?
I don't defend Meshak's theology (2 Pe 2:1) by the way.
Or that. I did not know you could collect infractions.

Yesterday and today I got warnings. I didn't get the more serious infraction which would be included in the total 2/1 (1). The infractions expire eventually.

Too many reported posts for frivolous minor spats. The real rule violators should be paddled in my opinion; shot of that, a little vacation has to do.
If I report someone, I am thinking they need a good whacking! Being banned is not funny and those who make it a habit, it seems to me, they are not serious about their participation, which is when I think longer banns are best.
My answer to the question, is I think short bans are good; we see how much the person banned takes the punishment serious, or if they come back complaining, they are being pests.
I think it should be up to you, Knight, as to how many pests are allowed and what degree of pest behaviour should be tolerated.

I don't see it, so it must just be for staff to see.
Perhaps it's the black robe complex that judges get. (I don't mean any one moderator. I don't know who banned him. I'm speaking in general.) When otherwise normal men put the black robe of a judge on, people around them say that they become full of themselves. Pride should be kept in check (Pr 21:4).
Satan loves to discourage the believer. Rev. 12:10, 1 Pet. 5:8. To any Christian that has been banned on a whim, I would encourage him/her to put on the full armor of the Lord (Eph 6:10-20) before logging on (Eph 6:12).
The moderator’s decisions can be often arbitrary and capricious.
I don't think that's true. There's a bias in play as to getting slack cut, but I haven't recalled anyone being banned without a rules violation attached that could be understood looking at the woodshed.
"I don't think that's true. There's a bias in play as to getting slack cut..."
I tried to discuss that issue with you. It led to my second warning.
This dialogue (which was less interesting than watching paint dry ) led to my asking you this question.
That resulted in my first warning. Then, you posted this odd comment which suggested that you are favored by TOL moderators because of your financial support (Ex. 23:8)-- second warning.
Will asking you these questions get me banned today for: thread hijacking or being disruptive? Do you have an arrangement with the Gestapo to not allow members who challenge you when you gossip about them in your Small Observations Thread?
I don't see it, so it must just be for staff to see.
Only staff and the posters themselves can see. I can see mine very clearly. I have many infractions. It will not take too long before I get a month banning days. It is getting longer each time I get banned.
I am wondering if I will be banned for good very soon.
