There are people in here that have been abusing their liberty to post. We voted to allow the members of this forum to not be subject to the main rules for the purpose of giving them the opportunity to express their views on doctrinal matters without penalty.
Independence wasn't given as a license to abuse other SDA forum members through flaming with impunity.
Even in the report area some are boasting that the rules don't apply in here, as if to suggest that they can flame others and nothing can be done about it.
This should not be like this!
Keep in mind that you needed a vote from all members to obtain your independence. We could just as easily vote again on the matter if need be. This wouldn't mean that we would take your freedom away to express your views on doctrinal issues; but we could certainly vote to have the FSB system apply in here for flaming.
Of course, you could always argue that you have full independence, and are therefore not subject to such a vote. If that is the case, then since this is the only forum that has claimed independence in here, it would have to be closed and opened up outside of the SDA forum under another name, not to be associated with the SDA church.
If things don't change soon, I will be sure to put this proposal in progress.
