Basic Principles for Forum Moderation
by Simon ina perennial issue for any online forum is moderation and applying rules.
we have a set of community guidelines and posting guidelines that are intended to make clear what is and isn't acceptable but this tends to focus on the obvious standards of behavior for, well, obvious reasons.
it's easy to talk about people being aggressive or insulting etc... as those are common and clearly unwanted behaviors and the typical issue for online communities - the most likely things to come up.. does this mean that everything *not* on the list is allowed?

Honestly Simon, I get pissed off to no end when people go against you. Not that you are perfect, nope, not that at all. But, you made a gateway to give an enormous amount of support to people at their very worst.
I can't even imagine how I would have coped without this forum. I don't even think I could have.
The pain was insanely unbearable and it was just all to much.
So, I get very angry with the expectation that some people don't give leniency to you trying to just do the best job you can.
When they get pissed at what they think is your slow reaction, or unjustified reaction, etc, etc. I get pissed.
Cause, in the end you did not have to do this for us. And I will be forever grateful and in your gratitude.

j.w-it happens in all religions.. me- so that justifies sending pedo's into strangers houses.how would you like it if a pedo came to your place and you didn't know.. j.w- it happened to my mother and if he came to my place it knock him out.. me - but you have no problem with anyone from your church going to peoples houses even if they are a pedo.. we argued around in circles with him saying the elders may not know and me saying well i told them and so did the victim and he admitted to it ,then i told him about the r.c in australia and he said that could be anyone claiming to be a j.w could be on the stand ( by this time he was getting desperate)the i said like jeffery jackson?.
i told them to look it up on you tube.. i gave then the names and congro's the 2 pedo's are in and said i'd come back next week and see if they had checked it out.the lady's body language said she knew the elder that raped his sister as they are a well know family they were in the year book a few years ago.. stand by for next week.. karter.

Azor- I went ahead and read some of your previous posts. My heart goes out to you. It truly does.
Because of what you went through it seems like you are lashing out a bit. I don't blame you. We all go through phases of anger, sadness, etc as we are exiting.
What you are going through I'm sure has to be so much worse then what the average JW goes through when exiting the cult. I'm truly sorry for what you have gone through.
I still stand behind my comments and hope that you can use your anger in a more constructive way. Sometimes it just takes time.
But, I still can't just not say anything when I believe a person is being bullied.
Yes, I will say I'm a bit sensitive of a person. I might even be wrong in my opinion. But, I have to stand up for someone when I think they are being bullied. Please respect that.

Azor- Please stop. It doesn't matter what Scotty said in the past. It doesn't give you the right to talk to him that way.

Azor- You are bullying, insulting and harassing Scotty. This is against the forum rules and I have reported you.
I tried to encourage you to stop this behavior, and twice you refused to stop.
At this point, a moderator can make the decision if this sort of behavior is acceptable on the forum.

Cognac. Why not? From everything I've seen he is an anti ex jw. People who criticize others for giving a damn and trying deserve nothing but contempt and ridicule. So I have done so and will continue to.
Really???? Anti ex-JW or not, you have no right to talk to him like that.

The link brought me to a, "page not found."
Anyways, yeah, I got diagnosed with PTSD and Paranoid Personality Disorder. I was on meds and everything. It sucked.
It still creeps up from time to time but I've learned how to cope with it a lot better.
