You can say no theist is banned for being theist but when you go over the list do you see atheist being banned in the same number? When I came here - the same as anywhere else - people said how long. Slow burner. They know. They're not stupid.If we could ban people we don't like or that say things we don't want to hear there would be far fewer people here.
A theist comes here to make trouble. Atheist like trouble with theists. Theist gets banned for trouble. I don't care, it's part of the game. In the reare cases where I don't get banned I get bored.
I still think staff should get one free pass a year to ban someone just 'cause. But that's not how things are run here.
I don't envy your power. I can only imagine having to listen to all of the punk ass bitches who come whining to you because someone disagreed with them as rudely as they did from the start. I almost never report anything unless it really is spam. Trolling? That's just a smokescreen. If I had a theist forum I wouldn't ban anyone for trolling unless it got way out of hand. Sometimes that is the response to disagreement. If you can't win an argument harrass the person unmerciful. That's just easily ignored. In fact, I have to unignore one right now. Most the time people don't go that far, it isn't worth the trouble.
