I didn’t say that it was about you, but this is your OP.

There are ways to go about addressing heresy and other sin without violating the rules.

There is also time to call a spade a spade in hopes that the harsh rebuke will bring them back to the body of Christ.

Well, while your intentions are good (hopefully, since I don’t know you and maybe you just want to be mean to people that don’t hold to your views), I don’t see that allowing this type of forum would end well at all.

Thanks for that. I think you mean well also

That is just it. It is Biblical to call one out in such a way. So it does not matter what "we" see if it is not in line with what the Word of God says.

No offense meant.

It’s also biblical to call out sin without being insulting. And that falls within our rules.

Not really. That area is censored also.

Moderating is not censorship. It merely keeps posters within the rules. However the site has verboten topics and aspects of topics.

Forgive me for butting in but I note Jesus was insulting when bringing a word of correction.

Although this is a fact I don't think it is appropriate on CF...

He would follow our rules.

...for sake of argument, what is something you’d like to tell someone that you cannot currently say?

Yes, this is the question I would like to see addressed.
I notice the Op hasn't included any such examples in their case thus far.

What?

All you're saying in your OP is that you really don't like the site rules and you really don't like how the rules are enforced. If that is the case, you'd be better off finding somewhere else on the Internet to spend your time instead of trying to get the whole site to bend to your whim and fancy.

No, this was said,

A forum where it is not censored by the moderators to such a degree as the rest of the site is.

I thought this was the forum for making suggestions. It seems you are upset about it.

Because it is not personal

I think folks understand what you're suggesting.
But I don't think you've made the WHY case yet.

Moderating is not censorship. It merely keeps posters within the rules. However the site has verboten topics and aspects of topics.

Oxford defines censor as:

• an official who examines material that is about to be released, such as books, movies, news, and art, and suppresses any parts that are considered obscene, politically unacceptable, or a threat to security:"the report was approved by the military censors"
• 2.(in ancient Rome) either of two magistrates who held censuses and supervised public morals.

verb

• 1.examine (a book, movie, etc.) officially and suppress unacceptable parts of it:"my mail was being censored"

It was made. It is Biblical.

 

[Lion IRC]

Oh, well in that case I dont think the Mods would ever censor bible verses.

 

[HIM]

Interesting, So rather than call someone a heretic, or maybe blind post a a verse that implies it.

That is aloud?

 

[Lion IRC]

Biblical...
1st Peter 3:15
James 3:10
Proverbs 15:1

 

[Lion IRC]

I suggest you cite some examples of what you believe needs to be said which cannot. There's a big difference between saying...
"you are a heretic"
And...
"I think Pelagianism is heretical."

 

[HIM]

Biblical...
1st Peter 3:15
James 3:10
Proverbs 15:1

And there is a time just call a spade a spade.
Should all the verses that out right call some vipers, blind and so forth be posted also?
