It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

Unfortunately, on a public message board like this one, it's just not possible to have an exclusive thread. Anyone can post anywhere they like, inclucing postings by atheists in threads like this one. The only way to guarantee a thread like this will remain free of negative comments is to take it to a religiously-oriented board that is well moderated. There, you are free to share your love of God without the need to welcome those who differ in their beliefs. Boards like this one, where a number of subjects are discussed and open to all posters, are simply not designed to maintain a thread to which only certain people are going to be welcomed. Sorry, but that's something we just can't do here.

I would never go on an atheist board and hate on them. Doesn't seem like that would be the thing to do out of respect for the thread and its intentions now am I right? I post on another forum where they have a God thread and they have a really nice woman who Mod's that board. I see other posters here moderate their own threads. Could it be possible I could do the same for this one since it seems like you are inviting negativity here. Just simply a suggestion. And I do know how to be fair. |

With you saying, anyone can post here, when it simply is a nice thread for us believers to come together, why would you say it is ok for ANYONE to come in here and be negative about the Lord? I'm not getting that. Sorry.

But if it can't be done mmhmm and that's the way you want it, then fine. But I will ignore them. All of them will just be on ignore. And unless they are wanting to instigate, they wouldn't come here to talk badly anyway.

Oh ok...I'm sorry. Other proboards do. Is this one different? I have no idea. Thought all proboards had the same rules. I could be wrong. It does happen. LOL ;D

How are all these other people on here moderators? How are they chosen? Is it each section or something to that nature?

Who any poster puts on "ignore", femme, is that poster's choice. It's a feature that can be used to reduce the irritation many encounter when posting on public message boards. While you might believe people wouldn't come to this thread for any reason other than to instigate, there might be other reasons a poster would post here. I'm here. I'm an atheist. Your beliefs are yours, not mine, and don't concern me, for the most part. Yet, some are interested in learning why some folks believe as they do. Hence, the large number of posters attracted to the "Does God Exist" thread. Those folks will probably post here, as well. The subject of religion tends to call all sorts of posters to post. Because a poster disagrees with a concept, it doesn't automatically follow that person is talking "badly" when they choose to disagree.

Look. All I asked for is a nice thread for people who do believe to congregate and discuss...just like depression boards, anxiety, does god exist??? Know what I mean? And ever since I've started this, seems like chaos. If you want to, gladly delete the thread. I'm not here to argue and don't want to cause problems. Just guess I was the only one who had guts enough to start one. Shame on me, I guess. Sorry.  |

The ownership of this board has not chosen to have a board devoted to God, femme. If another board chooses to do so, that's fine by us. |

Heh. I'm not giving you a hard time, femme. I'm just explaining why your thread probably won't remain as pristine as you would like. If I were to decide to give you a hard time, believe me you'd know it without any doubt! In fact, I'm trying to assist as best I can by disabusing you of the idea this thread is going to remain dissension-free. It isn't. I can guarantee that.

Femme.. I'm not put off by those who don't believe our God and say so in a derogatory way.. Not in the least bit. Ignore is a very good word. |

But I see regular posters creating threads all the time. So, what's wrong with this one? I am done discussing. You don't believe, and as a moderator, I suppose you are using that power. So be it. It's all good.  |

Tosh had to put up with vapid remarks, insults and passive aggressive behaviour so I suppose you do to as this thread is public and not your private domain. |

They all end pretty much the same way. The boards you mention are all open discussion boards where anyone can post as long as they don't personally insult another poster. That's a rule for the boards as a whole. You're welcome to post on any of those boards, just as anyone is welcome to post here. |

It's all good. you can create a thread if you wish. what you cannot do is expect anyone else to follow whatever "rules" you put in place for your thread on this public forum. I don't really know what you're expecting, femme. |

Femme, I'm not here to instigate, but it should be pointed out that this is not an atheist board. Nor are there any "for atheists only" threads. We are certainly not creating one and demanding that no positive comments about God be posted.
But more importantly, I fail to see the "hate" that you claim exists. No one is "hating" on believers. Some of us may disagree with you, some quite passionately, but I for one do not hold ill feelings against anyone here or elsewhere. I do feel that some of the things being said about atheists here are hyperbolic at best and that can lead to anger - but outright hatred? I don't see it.
And note, I did not say anything negative about God.
As for moderators, there are moderators assigned to specific boards, but no one can start a thread and claim it as their own or set additional rules that go beyond the standard ones issued by the admins.
As for how they are selected, I believe on this board they are elected.
