Calling out a member by name in a thread asking for the staff to ban them.
I'm staff on another Christian forum and we discourage that kind of behavior very strongly and feel that staff punishments or admonishments to members should be kept strictly between that member and the staff. Reports of posts, too, are known only to the staff and the only member who does know about it is the one who reported it--and all he knows is that he reported it.
But different forums are handled different ways and there are different ideas. I do tend to be of the mindset that I'd rather not intentionally create conflict with another member by announcing on the board that I want the staff to ban him, though.
It's okay quest. They want a board full of folks who will tell them to be angry at the President and everybody associated with him rather than telling them to pray for the man and his administration.
They want someone who will tell them it's okay to dishonor and disrespect the one God has placed in authority because they really disagree with his politics and the way that he's affecting their pocketbooks.
They want a board full of folks who tells them its okay to express nothing of love for the born while claiming to be so concerned about the unborn.
They want someone who tells them that they are the epitome of a follower of Jesus Christ and how much they love Jesus who they haven't seen while they continue to express so much everything but love for their Brothers and Sisters in Christ they have seen.
It's why the church is so ineffective and so many in it lacking a witness for Christ.
Partisan politics has taken the place of love for Jesus and others...but they want you to believe that they love others because they gave to the Lottie Moon Christmas offering.
They want a board full of folks who are self righteous enough to not tell them that it's the wickedness in OUR HOUSES, not the White House, that's destroying society.
It pains me that the attitudes of this board are the very same in most evangelical churches. Lacking love. That might explain why they are so good at doing programs for themselves but so bad at ministering to the lost.
