For Peacemaker.

Assalamu Alaikum and hi everyone,

There is always room for improvement at all levels in the way one behaves or interacts with fellow human beings. As a moderator, I carry even a bigger responsibility to act in the best possible manner. Even though my intention was not and is not to hurt anybody, I apologize to anyone who might have been offended in any way.

I appreciate your concerns toward me, the moderator group, and the forum in general, and we will see, within our capacities, to figure out what is the best in the interest of all.

We look forward to making this forum a better place for all those who visit here to learn, share, and grow together.

May Allah guide us all.

"Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance."

Qur�an 16:125

Peace

Yes and Actually NO! it has not been explained over and over it is simply ignored, especially when it is mentioned its inconsiderate and rude and people cannot participate any longer. Also I agree with having things in its proper place & that i didn't entirely disagree. I also gave suggestions awhile back but did they get acknowledge? no.

Also I am not the only one that brings up the issue many others have (and don't forget about the post count issue - these issues really need to be sorted otherwise they will continue even without me. Alot of people are complaining it is making a bit of a discourse instead of smooth running of the boards. The boards were created for people muslims and non muslims and for unity among people, without it there would be no boards. These two issues are obviously a big issue otherwise they would not be propping up from time to time, which also should indicate that there is a problem with it but it is not getting sorted out. You ask people for suggestion which i think is amicable but...what's the point, people are crying out for this to solved or changed alittle, not asking to change everything. 

I am not the only one that brings this up but I am the most outspoken one for this, probably why it seems that i'm the only one that brings it up, many people agree with me. I know I did this time, but Angela put her view which is not new either. 

These are called differences of opinion. Let us respect them and move on.

Differences of opinion, maybe but I don't think so entirely. You talk about respect and islamic behaviour, how is it moving threads on people for them not to be able to participate anymore islamic and respectful? I think I posed that question once before. never got an answer.

Another thing is that while I don't say that you deliberately misspelled me, I would say that it was the third time you did that. First time, when you did that, I deliberately ignored to give you benefit of doubt.

thanks for showing, it was awhile ago. 

It goes against the rules of the forum to misspell someone. Peace

Peacemaker, the amount of times people have misspelled my name or refered to me as 'he' and refered to me as angela, i've lost count. But I am not to about to report them or say its against forum rules, its over the top and nik picking and this is coming from somewho likes their name spelled correctly  

Israfil wrote: Brother Peacemaker, In Angel's defense, of all things to be upset about [because it is obvious that it bothers you] why get upset over the mispelling of names? Angel has been here longer than me and has posted more longer than me and has been quite respectful of Islamic beliefs. I don't see where in the depths of your conscious could you conceive Angel's name- falibility as some sort of name calling or would even consider it? There are many variables to why we mispell consistently, I know I do. Maybe we are tired and want to post a comment before going to bed? What if, after finishing our post, miss our typos? Peacemarker is so mclose to Peacemaker that, I don't think a lot of people catch it, I know I didn't until you brought it up. As her friend I for one stand by her in the fact that she didn't deliberately do it. We are all humans and make mistakes online and offline......

Yes, mistakes happen in spelling in general. We all do that. But, misspelling name of a fellow participant/moderator ( and that too after it has been mentioned ) is a different thing. It goes against basic manners.

The very first rule goes like this:

1. We manage here an Islamic discussion board, thus all members are requested to maintain the decorum, as per the standards of an Islamic cultural society. Any joke or casual statement which the moderators find insensitive may result in editing or deletion. Since this is an Islamic site, utmost importance and respect is to be given to the teachings of Islam, which include the Quran and Hadith.

Guidelines

I do my best not to misspell someone's name in this public space nor do I want that anybody's name, including my name be misspelled here. 

Another thing is that while I appreciate that you wanted to support Angel, I reiterate that please don't take part in the thread where someone has posted a complaint:

14. The "Comments and Complaints" section is not a discussion forum where all Users may take part. Only the concerned User, with the original complaint (topic starter), and IC Moderators/Administrators should take part in conversations so that the complaint can be appropriately resolved. Besides, if a complaint is also shared by many others, dealing with it would automatically help others as well. For example: If 50 people have the same complaint, responding to the original post of User (topic starter) would obviously address all concerned Users. Moderators should be addressed respectfully and complaints should be made politely.

 Guidelines

You may alternatively use other means such as PM to express your support for someone.

May Allah guide us all.

Peace

Angel,

I know that this issue has been raised over and over, and it has been explained over and over. These are called differences of opinion. Let us respect them and move on. But, if you keep bringing the same issue repeatedly, at one point, it may be difficult to continue responding.

Another thing is that while I don't say that you deliberately misspelled me, I would say that it was the third time you did that. First time, when you did that, I deliberately ignored to give you benefit of doubt.

Second time, you did that some days ago, I politely and respectfully mentioned it.

And then you did the third time in this thread. Please spell "peacemaker" properly when you address me next time. It goes against the rules of the forum to misspell someone.

Peace
