This way the status quo, or the elite regular posters that feel their opinions and narratives supersede all others, can control what is written on the site. When a poster receives a predetermined amount of negative points, they are automatically suspended or banned. This way you can have an “army of trailer park warriors” so to speak, that can take complete control of Spirit Paradise and ban those that disrupt their happy place.
And if Shades, a man who gave most of us a place to heal while we struggled with our exit from a cult…a place to let our wounds scar, decides to visit and share his opinions, he would be welcomed as long as he did not offend the elite.
I could put this in a much easier way..like ….” Just destroy Shades vision because you are selfish, soft skinned insecure folks that can’t ignore what you don’t like.” Hell, I could be wrong but his dedication to this site and caring enough to provide a forum for others to heal might even have effected his marriage? I know when I use to post here all the time it took valuable time away for my family.
Carry on…

Re: Rules and Moderator information
Our world is going to crap and you are whining about a troll that is yanking your chain on a obscure Internet forum? People are dying on the streets fro drug abuse, Ukrainians are dying and forced from their country, gas is 6 bucks a gallon, a pack of M&M’s is 2.09, Nickle just rose 250% and I have to pay 400$ for (1). Stainless steel 4x4 post base, a pound of bacon is $10.00, a pound of solder is $42.00, and you are upset about a Internet forum troll?
Re: Rules and Moderator information
Ha, markk. We’re on the brink of world war 3 and you’re worried about gas being 6$ a gallon and who is moderating at a Mormon discussion board?
Re: Rules and Moderator information
You seem upset enough about this obscure Internet forum to accuse people of destroying it. That sounds pretty similar to Jersey Girl to me.Markk wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 5:13 amOur world is going to crap and you are whining about a troll that is yanking your chain on a obscure Internet forum?

One can always argue that thing X is more important than thing Y. Does that imply that we should care about nothing?

Re: Rules and Moderator information
I am worried about 6 dollar a gallon gas for those that can't afford it, i am blessed I will get by, I hope. And if you read my posts it is about how you guys are dumping on Shades vision, not who is moderating, but that there is a need to do so. But your point is taken and maybe we all need to take a step back and look at what is really important.
Take care.
Take care.

Re: Potential Rule Changes
We used to have thread starter rights at the beginning of this board.

_Yoda wrote: ↑Fri Apr 27, 2007 2:44 amThere really isn't anything written in the Board Rules regarding starters of threads. As a courtesy, if someone starts a thread, Shades and I will normally consult with that thread originator before splitting a thread to ensure that continuity is intact.Jersey Girl wrote:My darling liz,
Since you brought up the issue of the thread starter...what exactly is board policy on the preferences of the thread starter? Can we ask people to depart the thread?
Jersey Girl
As far as a thread originator asking an individual to leave a thread or not post in it, it is certainly within the thread originator's right to insist that a poster remain on topic. Since we're all adults, we should, out of common decency, abide by that courtesy if asked.
For example, in Harmony's "Ancient" thread in the Terrestrial Forum, I brought up a topic which Harmony felt was unrelated, and asked if I would refrain from continuing a discussion in that particular vein. I respectfully acknowledged her request, and posted further comments more directly on topic.

Here is Shades on the issue:

The only difference is that a thread starter may now set down certain parameters for his/her own thread.KimberlyAnn wrote:There is a new feature in the Celestial Kingdom which I feel is antithetical to the purpose of this board. . . Never did I imagine opposing views wouldn't be allowed on this board!
In other words, if someone posts his or her testimony of Christ or the divine calling of Joseph Smith, you can't challenge that testimony in the thread itself. You are perfectly free to challenge everything he or she said, but you'll merely have to start a new thread about it in the Terrestrial Forum is all. Title it something like, "Challenge to ___'s testimony in the Celestial Forum" or something like that.
So you're still free to say whatever you want. Thread starters in the Celestial Forum are simply allowed a little more leeway to determine the venue is all.
This is why I called to reinstate thread starter rights earlier in this current situation. It would solve a lot in terms of board etiquette. As I recall, I got no response nor a ruling on that.
