I've been posting to internet discussion forums and especially to "Christian" based groups for many years now. And I've learned much about the corruption that sets the tone for these groups. Unprofessional Moderation is probably the biggest fault. When differences develop between contributors. The bias usually shows when one of two equals in a professional system is banned for the Moderator's personal reasons. This is most prevalent so far.

The Catholics control one of the biggest and most popular "Christian" sites. So the truth is banned from citing "unorthodox" claims, even though based on the Bible and are obviously the truth.

Other Moderators have an inner circle of like-minded devotees that stack the deck in favor of their own special interests. They lie and falsely accuse those who hinder the spread of their denominational propaganda.

Of the many forums I've contributed to, not one shows a professional non-biased demeanor.

All forums have rules and those are the boundaries they have set into place and whenever people sign up on those forums, they agree to abide by the rules. When they break those rules, the moderators follow a moderation protocol and sometimes that means an immediate ban (for instance trolls or advertisers) and sometimes it means a member leads up to a ban by violating the rules too many times. So in essence, that member bans himself out.

I've been on a couple forums where the site owner's rules are very strict, and they won't put up with nonsense and ban immediately whenever they feel like it.

Here on CH we have our own set of rules that we think are very reasonable. The main one that members violate is the No Flaming rule. It's awful how Christians can't be nice to one another.

The owner has set up the site so that only trinitarian Christians are allowed to post in select areas of the site. That idea came from an Atheist who helped him set up the site with coding that was written just for CH.

Your complaints show that you don't feel that you should have to abide by rules and make false accusations against those who have taken action against you for those violations. Most of the members here see newbies come from other sites and know that they've been banned and it doesn't take long to realize why.

Locking this thread. If you have issues with staff here at CH, then you should make a thread in the Member Admin Center. The owner will discuss things with you personally. @Romanos
