    A few do this, but they are typically ignored (cry wolf thing). But reports do help when members violate BB rules, insult people, and such.

    We only have a few moderators, so we don't spend all day reading threads.

    Reports put the problem children, usually those who forget this is a Christian forum, on radar.

    Personally I don’t have any problem with conflict… this is we’re you grow. Being nasty to one another is quite a different thing.

    To Kentucky’s point, there are forums who don’t discuss differences in theology, politics etc., it’s kinda like cancel culture if you have conflicts of opinion, then it’s like cancel culture. Debate is really not allowed. Again how do people learn and grow? That’s what’s unique about BB! Thanks for all your support.:Wink

    Brother… then just ignore them! If you feed them they will keep coming back… probably come in here to argue.

    …and I have used it in order to keep myself in check and there are times I wished I’d used it more.

    It gets difficult at times. We want to discuss issues relevant to Christianity but some are also highly emotional issues. Open Theism is a relevant topic. I have not read open theist comments here (I didn't realize we had any open theology advocates here), but probably just looked over them. If they violate BB rules then report them so they can be addressed.

    Not Closed Theology That whole thread is Open Theology. In my opinion, it is beyond the scope of Orthodox Christianity to say that God is not Omniscient. Notice I said opinion.

    I haven't even looked at that one much. The OP was flawed (the opposite of everything being predestined is not open theology) so I haven't been back. Thanks for bringing it up.
