toldailytopic: Do you think TOL bans members too frequently, or not frequently enough

[Tambora]

Savvy is such an underutilized word. :cheers:

So true. So true.

Savvy is such an underutilized word. :cheers:

Would you elaborate please?

 

[meshak]

If you actually said something for the Lord than you would not have been banned...Savvy! :AoO:

I have been quoting and using Jesus' wisdom in all my comments.

You guys have been denying Jesus' Lordship.

 

[Dena]

If I had to choose I would probably say not frequently enough.

You're just another legalist. You can take your works salvation and best of luck to you.

 

[Lighthouse]

The rules aren't follows that much... so why bother banning anyone?

There is a certain member that posts links to very long articles and never points out the relevant part.. his goal is to subject us to reading everything in the article instead of the applicable part.

I believe that is against the rules... yet he has gotten away with it for years now.

So if you aren't going to enforce your rules.. you shouldn't be banning anyone.

The staff cannot possibly see every post that breaks the rules, which is why we have a reporting system here. If you see a post that breaks the rules report it. If someone has broken the rules they will receive at least a warning, depending on the severity of the offense. If severe enough they will receive an infraction, which could cause an auto-ban if the offense is severe enough to warrant a high enough level of infraction. And if the offense is exceptionally severe, or if they are a repeat offender, they will be banned directly.

You forgot the now compulsory, "Savvy?"

I just saved you from being :banned:

What the right hand giveth,

I think things are dealt with a nice touch actually.

the left hand taketh away ...

However it seems that right wing, gun waving maddist nut jobs get given a lot of slack.

Those on the left, or who are atheists or secularists have to tread much more carefully.

That's because left-wing, commie wacko nutcase, drooling swine are more inclined to name-calling, profanity and blasphemy. I suspect you would be more pleased if your vulgar prejudices and biases were given free rein.

Why.... no body's free to attack the war until its over? classic...you want to see if it was really won?

 

[Flipper]

Or, it could be that the people who have been banned received enough infractions that one more infraction pushed them into bans.

Or that. I did not know you could collect infractions.

Christians victory is not complete unless you serve Jesus faithfully until the end.

Jesus says "if you love me, keep my commandments". Dont forget responsibilities for what He has done for us. Salvation is not cheap. Jesus died for us and Jesus expects His followers to die for Him too. It costs our lives because Jesus dies for us.

Jesus is not cheap, friend.

Jesus says "if you love me, keep my commandments".

Which he then doesn't say are required for salvation. But what commandments do you imagine the Trinitarian fails?

Dont forget responsibilities for what He has done for us. Salvation is not cheap. Jesus died for us and Jesus expects His followers to die for Him too. It costs our lives because Jesus dies for us.

No, Meshak, his sacrifice was enough. That's why he didn't say, "It is finished....mostly."

Jesus is not cheap, friend.

Then don't cheapen what he accomplished by pretending to be under the law and struggling toward reward.

 

[Sherman]

I am talking about some members here, they are mostly in the chat box, and they are allowed to be vicious and bully.

Well, if you wouldn't whine in the chat box!

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.

Do you really mean banned or suspended? I ask because a few times I see that someone has been banned and then I see them posting again at a later date.

Does banned really mean suspended?

 

[chrysostom]

once banned always banned does not apply here

 

[serpentdove]

I get lots of warnings instead of bans now; :banned: whereas, before I used to bet banned. I'm always grateful to make it through the day. :thumb:

I didn't want you banned or ask for it. In fact, if you read my request that went along with reporting your spamming the thread I specifically noted that I wasn't after that, only the ability to return the thread to functionality so that others could participate in the spirit of the thing.

I argue the points of argument highlighted frequently in Observations within the threads linked, not in Observations. Don't care for it? Don't follow it. :idunno:

"I get banned very often."

I think the time in the sin bin can get longer like :banned: a five minute major in hockey. :sharri:

"What ever happen to Jesus is love?"

You aren't a Christian so you tell us (2 Pe 2:1).

Jesus loves you (Jn 3:16). Jesus is willing to save you (2 Pe 3:9). Repent (Eze 18:30-32; Ac 17:30). Believe (Mk 9:23).

Does Jesus say it is ok to slander anyone who is serving
Him?

This is Jesus' commandment:

"go therefore, make disciples of all nations... teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."

Yet you main-streamers say you are saved without obeying Jesus.

You guys are so strange.
