Hello RFS people.
FYI: I deleted the entire "Why do christians need scientific proof that homosexuality.." thread because we couldn't keep up with the flood of reports coming in from it.
I'm sure most of you remember my promise of minimal moderation for RFS. I am perfectly willing to let you guys do whatever it is you do, and I'm trying my best to stay out of the dramas here, but you're making it very difficult with the way you're all reporting each other. We've been tossing a few bones for RFS here and there, but if you all want minimal moderation, you all might consider minimal reporting because I can't stay out of your way if you insist upon dragging me (and the other mods) into the middle of your family feuds.
-John

Not a reporting kind of person myself...
May I suggest, if people are reporting offense to religions, then ignore it...
If people are reporting homophobia, racism, etc, then do something about it...
People have rights, religious ideas don't.

Before the accusations start flying I want to make it clear that I didn't report anyone on that thread. I'm not going to name names, but I will say that it wasn't just that one thread. We have received more reports from RFS than all of the other boards combined. How am I supposed to honor my promise to you all if you all won't let me?

You should reinstate that thread by the way, let people hang by their own words... There were no threats or anything, and the homophobes were being put in their place.

I'm not here to argue or debate. I'm here because RFS apparently doesn't want me not to be.

Oh, damn it, I just made a thread about this.. sorry.
Hmm.. I'm not really sure why there was a flood of reports about it when it was an honest question (and for once I was controlling my angst).. but alright.
I would say that religious discussions are bound to get a bit heated. Not sure what made that one in particular out of the ordinary, but I reluctantly accept that it was deleted, even though I find it a bit annoying.. lol.
In the future I would suggest if you see something in a thread that you don't like, ignore it. Debates are all about opposing beliefs. Reporting a post just because you don't agree with the opinion is really childish.

One way you could make this less difficult for yourself is just to announce that you'll block all abuse reports from the RFS board and reduce its status as a free-for-all, but that would be unfortunate since there are a few posters who really do come here wanting to talk about religion and they would get caught in the cross-fire. Another alternative is to create a new board for this purpose and move multiple-reported threads there. That way you won't get accused of censorship or any such nonsense. BTW, do you consider these 'flood of reports' to be justified? If not, you could always impose the ultimate sanction on the serial reporters, perhaps impose a 'three strikes' rule over a fixed time limit, or something similar. Anyway that's my 2 cents worth. And I for one am happy to stand up and say that I appreciate what you are doing.

@fatherjackhackett I'm here because RFS apparently doesn't want me not to be. We love ya big guy, people just want you around... Thanks for running this ship by the way... I think you need to let this board run it's course, except for serious offences of course... if you start giving way to serial reporters, it will become as unmanageable as the horror board in the old country... My suggestion would be leave AJ to moderate this board, he is level headed, and well respected by posters on here.

First time I make a topic here and it gets deleted. I think I should get an award for that or something.

@fatherjackhackett We do let this ship run its course for the most part. The only posts I've even read here are the ones that are reported, and we have taken no action against any of them that we haven't unanimously decided as being worthy of action, which has only been about 1% of the reports at best. About AJ, I'm way ahead of you. He has been extremely helpful in this regard. My number one rule for new mods is "let RFS be."

It appears to have been critical of what might be called conservative Christianity. What was said that could be deemed extremely offensive - enough to create a host of complaints? Who started the thread? Who made the complaints? Were they warranted?

tickingmaskIt didn't fall on deaf ears. I considered it, but then I realized we already have a 'bottom of the barrel' board. It's called the trash can. I will not recant my repeated encouragement for all the members of IMDB2 to report anything they think should be reported no matter how insignificant it may seem to them. Dictating what should and shouldn't be reported is not something I'm willing to do. But to reiterate, if it's minimal moderation RFS wants, then RFS should consider minimal requests for moderation.

I never figured out why reporting is anonymous.
What is the danger exactly? If I knew who reported me, I couldn't do anything about it anyway.
On the other hand. I'm not sure why anyone would get bent out of shape over some words in a forum that literally invites disagreement. I would suck as a mod since I would only concern myself with the obscene or blatant rule breaking. Insults and debate are not at that level even if they are lies.

Does the deleted thread take away from my post count? I'm trying to reach Senior Member by the Spring thaw and I have other important schedules to keep.

As odd as it seems to me, deleted posts do not reduce your post count. I can change the count, but rest easy, Sulla, you're still one post closer to your lofty goal.
