Assalamu alaikum,

How strange things have become around here!  A self professed pedophile was allowed to post all over the boards for far too long; banned people (like Nadir/Antony and all the rest of the names he uses) keep posting anyway despite being banned multiple times; many non-Muslim Islam bashers spread their ridiculous and hurtful garbage far too long before banning....

...and yet the mods are so harsh on the Muslims.  And now, secret banning? 

On an Islamic forum, one would think that rather than banning a Muslim for opposing views, rudeness or what ever is the case, that good, Islamically based reasons why what they said/are doing is incorrect would be far better for all concerned than banning.  That way everyone might learn something useful rather than have feelings hurt and people leaving the boards in droves - which seems to be the case of late....

There must be room for many views here but, there must also be good Islamic direction from the mods when someone "breaks forum rules".  Of course it takes longer to stop and explain WHY someone's post is breaking rules or is not Islamically correct - but the benefits would be to all.  And yes, I realize that the mods are volunteers and it is a very hard job but the methods of moderating need to be looked at seriously before all the "regulars" disappear all together!

Peace, ummziba. 

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but your words...they break my soul ~

this is an islamic forum. will we allow non muslims to discredit the Quran and Islam here, while we do nothing? i dont think its right. if a muslim were to log onto a christian site and say things to discredit the Bible, im sure he or she woudl be removed from that site.

Thank you for your kindness, Patty. Home is where the heart is, and for a while my heart was here in the forum. After the banishment, part of me refused to return, although I'm still interested, especially in the "old-timers ," such as yourself and others. As I've stated in my response to brother Suleyman, the banishment helped me in ways the mod/mods never intended, and that's easy to understand because God's intentions for me are perfect and flawless.

Peace to you. Hanan

Assalamu Aleikum

I�m not sure who your post is in response to, because I am Muslim, and so is everyone else on this thread, except for Patty, and she has NEVER discredited the Holy Koran or Islam, on the contrary. Please kindly explain the reason for your post so that we may enter into a dialogue, if that is what you desire.

Wassalam

Here I will add that I was banned for "scholar bashing" and no comment was made by the administration or moderators, they said to me, "out of respect".

I feel the banning was disrespectful and inappropriate and the secret nature was deplorable.  Maybe some people would have been happy to hear I was banned and could have applauded your action publicly.  Maybe a couple would have let you know how disingenous it was to do and especially in the way that you did it.  You made a new rule that banning was to last for ten days and that after a second banning, the person would lose all future posting rights.  That's kind of funny that rule was made the week of my first banning. 

Are you that tired of me mods?  I'm not tired of you, really.  I find some of your moderator posts amusing and some informative and the rest I usually just giggle at.  I don't appreciate your banning Hanan or me for the above reasons Brother Suleyman has stated.  He put it beautifully.

You know that I needed to come back at least to say ma salama, didn't you?

Please comment because this is one of those notice/comment type ones where the members are invited to post their thoughts.

Salaams.  May Allah, The All-Knowing, grant us wisdom and patience.  Ameen

Dear Sister Herjihad,

This is the first time I�ve been made aware of your banishment and must say that I am dismayed. To ban you, of all people, is very disturbing. Although I do not disagree that my improper behavior warranted the temporary banishment, I do not understand yours, especially since it was kept a secret. I have, in the past, had the feeling that IslamiCity is under pressure from several quarters (FCC among them) to show itself as non-violent, non-Muslim-raging community, and as with everything nowadays in the U.S., things seem to tilt to the other extreme. My personal opinion is that the mods are under pressure from the higher ups in the hierarchy to �crack down� on everyone, although mistakes are made, such as allowing a pederast and vile racist to spam freely for days.

As you well know, Sister, it hasn�t always been like that, and I would like to see a more balanced �meting out of justice� by the mods, but perhaps they have no choice. It would be helpful if someone would shed light on the confusing happenings here, otherwise speculations, suspicions and hard feelings will grow, which might eventually lead many regular posters to leave this, as Patty calls it, �Home.�

Do not be discourage, Sister.

Peace, Hanan

Young Joseph was banned for "spamming and offensive posts," and I'm not sure that I understand what that has to do with the subject of THIS thread, and with sister Herjihad's secret banishment?

I don't think that it was your PM to the mods that got Joseph banned. If that had been the case, it would mean that the mods had been "sleeping on the job" for weeks. Having followed Joseph's increasing loss of rationality, I suspect that he "talked" himself into banishment.

Peace, Hanan
