I think the owner of the topic should have the power to ban someone from posting only on that topic. That way we can all pool in together and help run the board.
No way. Too subjective. Besides, libs are known for derailing their own threads when the heat is on.
I think you guys get it just about right.The TheologyOnline.com TOPIC OF THE DAY for April 30th, 2012 09:12 AM
toldailytopic: Do you think TOL bans members too frequently, or not frequently enough?
Get the TOL "banned" shirt here.
Take the topic above and run with it! Slice it, dice it, give us your general thoughts about it. Everyday there will be a new TOL Topic of the Day.
If you want to make suggestions for the Topic of the Day send a Tweet to @toldailytopic or @theologyonline or send it to us via Facebook.
I've been banned off other sites for being an Open Theist! That was the whole reason!
I've been temporarily suspended off of another site for the slightest of infractions against the foggiest of rules that weren't enforced in any sort of consistent fashion.
As far as I'm concerned TOL is flat out the best theology forum in existence precisely because you let people bang their heads together. We aren't talking about Asian tea recipes, or which quilting technique is best for making purses. The topics here are deeply personal and immensely important. People are going to get offended and people are going to get their feeling hurt and people are going to get angry. Getting banned for such things on this kind of forum will only get you a forum where everyone agrees with everyone else on practically every issue except the ones that are trivial and boring.
I say that unless they're being just blatantly disruptive for the sake of disruption or they are being flagrantly insulting to Jesus Christ, let people display their foolishness for all to see. And that goes for me too!

P.S. Thanks Knight for creating and maintaining a great website. The handful of times I've ventured onto other sites looking for fresh minds to pick, I've always quickly regretted it and its never long before I'm right back here where I belong. God bless you and those who help you run this place!
Yep. If you want a level playing field, join a college debate team.
Or apply for a government job....especially if you're black. They dumb it down so far anyone can do most government jobs.
Gotta love 'Affirmative Action'.......
...and I just found myself a SPOTD post! :first:
You, of course.
:allsmile:
It was replaced with the bible. :thumb:
:shocked:
:banned:
As it should be. As it should be.
:mock: Atheists.
Or practice really hard to abide by the rules yet be as dishonest and divisive as Barbarian is. But, be warned. You have a lot to live up to emulating the most dishonest poster on TOL.
Then why dont you practice what the Bible says? Jesus says to love one another. being vicious and bully is not the way, friend.
Have I been vicious and a bully? :idunno:
You are not vicious.
Or, it could be that the people who have been banned received enough infractions that one more infraction pushed them into bans.
If you actually said something for the Lord than you would not have been banned...Savvy! :AoO:
Savvy is such an underutilized word. :cheers:
I am talking about some members here, they are mostly in the chat box, and they are allowed to be vicious and bully.
