dealing with disruptive members....

[freeindeed2]

Are you seeing just the archived ones? Or the live ones?

I see one archived one that I made.

Same here. And it's disappointing to see the railroading.

It only shows my 5 reports in the past 4 months.

 

[tall73]

I only have one that I made. And it wasn't even a report! I started a thread to defend Woob when he was getting railroaded.

Nothing like a bit of irony...

So, has this situation been deal with yet? Please update us someone.

We should not let this get swept under the rug people!



He needs to be held accountable for this.

I like how Conklin described the use of sock puppets:

This is freaking riduculous. I have two reports alone in this thread. WHAT IS THAT GUY'S PROBLEM!

 

[Mankin]

I think the situation needs to be worked out but I do think Woob has been hurt a lot in the past.

Pray for him.

True. But it still doesn't justify his behavior.

 

[Mankin]

Sorry about that outburst. It's just the reports made me really angry.

 

[Xenon]

I wonder how he could think that this was a good idea. Making an account to circumvent a ban and then reporting non-stop looks to me like dumping gas on a fire. It certainly won't give him any credibility with anyone who loves God and keeps his word.

 

[NightEternal]

Absolutely correct!

 

[icedtea]

He did make that sock back in October , when it showed up in a thread of mine.

Actually, I've had the account long before I was banned. Did you look at the join date in my profile?

Also, just because I was banned that doesn't mean I can't send PMs or make reports. The ban just has to do with posting in the forums.

And the reason why I reported it under my other ID was because when you are banned you can only see your own threads when signed in.

So I had to us another ID.

You know, if people would just stop throwing fiery darts at me I would have no reason to report anyone. I just want people to stop stabbing me i the back and flaming me. Is that much to ask for?

I've been going through some very serious stuff lately, even life threatening things. I just want people to stop adding more to my stress by not insulting me so much, and just try to encourage me.

I really need it now. I am not doing well.

I once wanted people to stop harrassing me and others and to not accuse me wrongly of harrassment. That was too much to ask for it seems.

So is it going to help any of us at all to hold on to a grudge?

What did Jesus say about forgiveness?

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. (Mat 6:14-15 KJV)

To be honest, I didn't even bother to check the reg date. My fault there.

Makes more sense now. It was also mentioned that you said that it was your own account.

I'm sorry to hear that I hope things work out for you.

But as honor posted earlier, we should remember Luke 6:27-38. Seeking harm for our enemies will not help us, no matter how slighted we feel.

I am sorry to hear about your troubles. Constant reports that turn this forum into a misserable experience does not convince people to stop flaming you.

Using sock puppets to pursue personal vendattas on a forum IS NOT acceptable behavior

I am sorry to hear about your troubles. Constant reports that turn this forum into a misserable experience does not convince people to stop flaming you.

So you are saying under such circumstances it is justifiable to flame people?

Does this conclusion agree with Jesus' objective for His people?

James had something to say about it:

Not many should become teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive a stricter judgment; for we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a mature man who is also able to control his whole body. Now when we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we also guide the whole animal. And consider ships: though very large and driven by fierce winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. So too, though the tongue is a small part of the body, it boasts great things. Consider how large a forest a small fire ignites. And the tongue is a fire.

The tongue, a world of unrighteousness, is placed among the parts of our bodies; it pollutes the whole body, sets the course of life on fire, and is set on fire by hell. For every creature--animal or bird, reptile or fish--is tamed and has been tamed by man, but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men who are made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things should not be this way. Does a spring pour out sweet and bitter water from the same opening? Can a fig tree produce olives, my brothers, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a saltwater spring yield fresh water. Who is wise and understanding among you?

He should show his works by good conduct with wisdom's gentleness. But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't brag and lie in defiance of the truth. Such wisdom does not come down from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every kind of evil. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without favoritism and hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. (Jas 3:1-18 HCSB)

Who said I used it for this reason?

I already explained why I used it.

And what rule dictates what a soc is to be used for anyway?

 

[annie1speed]

Ask not what your forum can do for you; ask what you can do for your forum. (or the people on your forum)

Also, just because I was banned that doesn't mean I can't send PMs or make reports. The ban just has to do with posting in the forums.

Isn't a ban meant to be a cooling off period away from the forum? How do reading and reporting posts while you are banned help you cool down?

And the reason why I reported it under my other ID was because when you are banned you can only see your own threads when signed in.

Again, wouldn't you be better off staying away from the forums for a while?

So I had to use another ID.

You know, if people would just stop throwing fiery darts at me I would have no reason to report anyone. I just want people to stop stabbing me i the back and flaming me. Is that much to ask for?

If you had shown the level of Christian love and concern for others that you are asking for it would be much easier for folks to give you that courtesy. However, surely you can see how this expectation sticks in some folks' collective craw. How much back-stabbing have you done in oh, say - the past twenty four hours?

Am I saying they are right to crank up the party upon news of your ban? No. Can I understand their feelings? Absolutely.

I've been going through some very serious stuff lately, even life threatening things. I just want people to stop adding more to my stress by not insulting me so much, and just try to encourage me.

Woobadooba, ALL of us are going through some very serious stuff lately. Noone's life is trouble free. How much thought do you give to other people's troubles? I don't know you outside the forum, but if you treat everyone the same way in real space that you treat them in cyberspace I imagine your life is majorly filled with stress!

I've read some of the comments you posted under your sock. Are you really the same person there? Or are there two of you inside that skin? [Don't report me - that was a joke]. Seriously, how can you be so kind and encouraging to folks in those other forums and be so full of malice and bitterness to fellow Adventists?

I really need it now. I am not doing well

I am sorry you are not doing well. Look around you. You are surrounded by folks who are not doing so well. Do you help people or hurt them? Are their lives better because of their encounters with you, or are they more stressful?

Just a thought or two......
