Good suggestion. bmzsp....some members used to laugh...but after they became moderators they have never laughed....i have never seen any moderator laugh till now...but you are the first moderator i have met who laughs masha Allah....good one ....keep going

Well, BMZ has only been a moderator for a couple of days. Give him time....

The Users who are banned are not just banned out of the blue. They get numerous warnings, some of which might be sent by PM, but most of which are posted for everyone to see. If you look at the threads you can see Warnings. Also, anytime we have to DELETE or EDIT something, that should be taken as a Warning, as you have clearly written something that should not have been written. If there is a Warning about using all BOLD type and you are using all BOLD type, consider yourself Warned. We may not specifically point each User out, but you know if you are doing it or not: your posts will have alot of BOLD type.

As far as closing topics, anyone can see when a topic has gone wrong or turned into name calling or trading insults. The names and insults are generally a good clue. There is no point in keeping these topics open as they serve no further purpose other than to spread hard feelings. We also might close a topic that has numerous complaints because it is clearly offending many Users. Inevitably there will someone who is upset because they were not offended, but as this is a public Forum, sometimes the good of the many outweigh that of the few.

First and foremost, it must be remembered that this is a religious Forum. So not all topics are appropriate, nor are all topics tolerated.

No Megatron, you can say the word "this" as much as you like...as long as you don't attempt to make anagrams of the word.
