For admins, set some rules.

This is not anyway of any kind to discredit what you do, cause for the most part you do an excellent job so far. (Also i would like to make it noted that i love this site, and it would really suck if you banned me too for sticking up for someone)

But its come to my attention certain members are being banned for unjust reasons. Take Steve or Nancy or whoever she goes by now. She agrees with our philosophy's and everything, but like many of us find it hard to swallow down the whole GFOL thing. I know many on this site don't like her cause she has proven herself to be a skeptic, and on some level wants some proof.

I don't think this is a very just reason for banning her, cause she did bring up some very good points, and was an interesting member.

Should we really be banning people case they don't agree with our views? This is just another form of hate. Which is something we claim doesn't exist on this site. I'm sure we have members of other faiths on this site. theres many of us who have different ideas about this ascension thing.

So here is what i think we should do. We should write up as list of bannable offenses.have a whole page devoted to it. so everyone should see it. Things that when done there should be no doubt they should be banned. Not things that bring up different views. and please admin be smart about this list.
( Once again, im just standing for whats right. please don't bann me for letting my gut speak)

Fair enough they should be banned for that kind of behavior,BUT NOT FOR SPEAKING YOUR BELIEFS. from what i can tell she hasn't done anything wrong!

Unfortunately, it seems that we always have to have rules!!

Can someone clarify some things for me.

Who can ban or who are the admins?
What is trolling/flaming?

Thanks and have a lovely day :)

Gahhhh see what ive done. I didn't intend this to be a blame game. just a rule set so people who have been banned will have no doubt to why.

People People !!!

Im very very sorry if i'm intruding into this private conversation going on between a few of the members on this thread..

Please let by-gones be by-gones as each of you has made their point ... is there a chance of a truce here ???

Now to rewinding a little and reading what has been posted in this thread, aren't we trying to lose the very egos that are surfacing over here and change from what we are to something better ??

Look at it from another perspective, all this could've have happened for reason, to show us where we actually stand at the present moment and what we need to do to bring in the change within ourselves!

Please give it a try not to push in any negativity towards others for what they have said or done ... we are here to help each other out to make a change for ourselves and be the way-showers for others .. so lets not lose our direction and fall prey to the very things we stand against.


Namaste,
Love & Light,
Ravi Raju

It's all just an exercise in reflection. Eventually it will be learned to not blame the mirror lol

The question put forward by Vaddix asks for a simple set of rules (with input from members who wish to give input) to;
1 - enlighten new/current members as to what the members here have agreed upon as unacceptable conduct
2 - give the admins common reference guidelines for implementating a ban

I won't even let my friends join this site until they can promise me their ready, I feel they need to take this somewhat seriously, as we are DEDICATED TO SAVING THE EARTH(sort of a big deal) I think that all measures should be taken to protect the members on this site who are putting in the effort to save this world.

Something's up with the direction this site is going. If this banning of skeptics continues I may have to leave.
