Clarification on 'Religious discussion' rule.

[GBuck]

I have been struggling with posting my opinion on the matter. No matter what I say there will be a couple people that it will inflame. So I will just say that I think the ban is probably for the best. We have a group that always stands at the ready to make nasty (to me blasphemous) comments, any time a person of faith posts any position based upon Biblical principles. I will not post again in this thread.

( I think you posted without inflaming anyone. )

Also, as said earlier, I agree with your post, but I think it works both ways.

I agree... and I think there are a few groups on different sides and if there isn't a precedent set to prevent this behavior it will only snowball. There have been lines drawn and sides picked and individuals are just waiting for (even creating) opportunities to throw stones across those lines.

I haven't been around here that long, but I can pick out a few stone throwers pretty easily. The Church Security Team thread is a perfect example.... There were a few people that entered the thread just for the hell of it.

Also if it is a community offense shouldn't the community decide?

How would that work, exactly? Moderation by committee of 23,000? I'm genuinely interested in how you propose to execute such a plan.

Have a jury. Like our system we have in the US. Randomly choose members for Jury duty.

If we are going to have a jury, do we get to hang someone... I've always wanted to attend one of them.

Depends on the crime I think, cannot just hang someone for bad typing or TUI(typing under the influence), that would be a little harsh

Continue, please. I find this fascinating.

Is this sarcasm, because I detect sarcasm

 

[Bunnykid68]

How do we do the jury pool draw? What is an acceptable reason to not sit on the jury?

I dunno about dat. They closed that one thread because it was so bad. May as well hang him if he can't post.

You mean a jury that we vote on would pick the "punishment" for rule breakers?

It's not sarcasm. I really want to know how you propose this "jury system" of moderation to work.

Not Scutter. He is very sincere by nature.

We select members that weren't involved in the thread, are online often, and if they don't have time to participate they don't participate. They would decide how the offense could negatively affect the community and tell the moderators how they think the offender should be punished. The moderators would simply present the evidence, and administer punishment of course.

This jury, how long would you say they serve? A set term? Or are they picked per offense?

They could be picked per offense or they could serve a term. I also think you should have to have 150 post to serve on a jury.
