so I opened a thread in the suggestion forum and my thread was seen as arguing publicly so it got deleted...

Gawd. *smack to forehead smiley*

same thing happened to Marcel and a few others months ago in Apologetics so then he opened a thread suggesting that people could be given reasons if 5 pages of posts are deleted! and his thread was deleted in the suggestion forum as well... So once his thread was deleted I opened a thread called "wheres Marcel's thread?" and that was deleted and I was warned which was probably appropriate. I was really skating on thin ice over there at the time. I just think its better if people can voice their concerns without everything warranting a deletion...

I think that deletions are unnecessary and unhelpful. At the most a mod should just close a thread with a public explanation of the reason for doing so. Deletions smack of underhanded behaviour, and they don't allow others to recognise what sort of posting is being frowned upon.

yeah I stay clear of Gunny...I actually tried to put several people over there on my ignore list a while ago and it would not let me. I got the "This person can not be added to your ignore list because they are a moderator or administrator"
The only people i really ever had the desire to be on my ignore lists there were a few mods, no members...

I guess you learn to develop an internal ignore list.

I like your green guy avatar too...what ever happened to atheistarchon? Where are the decent ones disappearing too?

AtheistArchon was banned a few months ago.

And yes, Brim dear...I am resurrecting Jezebel. Who was her ex-husband again?

Months ago they banned every non-Christian. I tried to join and I was turned down because I was a Catholic.
It seems they only wanted "born again" Christians.

The Soviet Communist Party.

Yep. They didn't want the drones exposed to other philosphies or points of view. It may upset their equilibrium.

I'm still a member, but I don't post. I have no wish to.

speaking of ignore lists...I just kind of started skipping over Susan's posts but thats ok I am pretty sure she skips mine as well so its a rather nice arrangement.
The board itself is just so difficult to navigate. theres always something new which I guess can be a good thing but getting around there isn't so easy at times...
I was looking for a thread the other day and could not for the life of me recall which forum

and the search didn't help much. Ultimately I was not all that interested so after about 10 minutes I kind of just gave up on looking for that thread...

Susan? Do you mean she isn't a webbot?
