Something we may want to do here too

This (http://foru.ms/t6026457-non-members-reporting-posts-etc.html) is what is being voted on in the CC forum right now. Makes sense. Maybe we should do the same here.

Great thread desmalia. Definitely we should ban all non Fundamentalist from "reporting".

One of the ways to win debates here is not by presenting a reasoned argument, but by "gaming the system": one must familiarize oneself with the rules, loudly accuse one's opponent of violating them, and then get the opponent banned -- problem solved."

This is called "gaming". A thread that got blocked or deleted using this tactic was "gamed"

A similar gaming tactic is to post comments that seek to "neutralize" an opinion that another person has. Again, rather than present a reasoned argument.

Or we can be gamed by an opponent who seeks to raise the level of the discussion to "heated". Creating a high heat discussion attracts moderators and brings on a locked thread. So we have to be on guard against "you, you, you, you" type of attacks. Where we get personally targeted multiple times.

We have to remember that on these Forums are many enemies of christianity who are posing as christians just for the purpose of disrupting our peaceful communications. Counter-Reformationists expecially are active. As are Apostates seeking to justify their Apostacy.
