Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
Yah, supposedly she was going back and forth. Saying one, and saying the other.You left out the part where she said Jesus is Lord ad nauseum though.
This is true. Amen Karrie to what you said.Just to point out for those new Christians that may be peaking in....
You can not serve two masters. It's either Praise the Lord or hail satan.
I have to agree with some though. When you have leadership posting on both sites as it is going on now, you are going to have a real issue. We as a Christian site must represent Christ. Having leaders, be they MOD's et al or just people who contribute to this site, acting in the manner they do on the other will undercut the Message we are to bring.
Actually it's gotten back to spite reporting again.I'm sure it's ok.
However, I will say this ... if we start posting about specific instances somewhere else, and those people also post here. You can be darn sure it's going to get reported. That's the way things go, and it will more than likely get actioned on, even if the things said over there ... wouldn't be allowed over here.
Yes, I've seen some of what you're talking about, and experienced it myself.Actually it's gotten back to spite reporting again.
Seriously, people really do need to get a life out there.
Yep, I know what you mean about the specifics - I usually don't post about specific persons for just that reason.Yes, I've seen some of what you're talking about, and experienced it myself.
Some people, who do not like us, are going to try the "Lets throw everything against the wall, and hopefully something will stick." approach to reporting. Unfortunately, my experiences as a moderator over the past 5 or 6 years tells me that after awhile, moderators will start to think ... all this smoke, obviously there has to be a fire around here somewhere. And in an attempt to shut up the obsessive reporters, they'll probably try to seek some sort of compromise, even if the things we say are true and accurate and within the scope of the rules.
So, what to do? Give them less things to report. Mentioning people by names, or commenting on specific actions (even those that are obviously stupid, ill-conceived or the like) only increases the chances that our posts will get reported. Which is why I advocate not talking about that place as a rule of thumb.
information is edifying to me tho in that it's helpful - based on what others have shown me from iidb posts, I learned alot Belinda!Karrie, I understand your concern that new believers peeking in at this thread might get confused about the two masters. It is good to clarify such things.
Let me give this admonition to the rest of the members of this thread: Even more confusing to them will be believers gossipping about other members. If you don't approve of what goes on at the other forum, then don't repeat it over here.
NYJ is right. Just leave it. It edifies nobody.
Yes, unfortunately it's a problem TO THE WRONG FOLKS. It SHOULD be a problem to those doing the nasty posting... but that's not the case, it's the ones who work to expose it that get the actions taken against them for warning.There's nothing wrong with going over there and reading. It's when you bring it back here and start talking about specific people that it becomes a problem.
For example, I understand why Moriah posted what she did over there. Those talking about it here do not, so it constitutes gossip to talk about her and speculate. It's best to leave it over there or ask for clarification over there. Talking about a person without all the facts and when they can't even post in the thread is gossip.
If all of us partook of the actual situation, we might understand as well. However, that doesn't mean it's even remotely an appropriate behavior or thing to do.I understand why ...
I would like to say that I have never seen Belinda post anything there which she has reason to be ashamed of.In all due respect and using this as an example, when you are her friend, post over there, and then MOD over here, there is no trust.
I don't blame the concerns, sharing of info, or the mistrust. I have been on both sides and I believe there is valid concerns.
In keeping with NYJ's suggestion this is my last comment on this issue. I do not wish to add to the watchful eyes of some who would like to see this thread shut down.
