Subject: Lockman and NASB representation? |
Bible Note: Reighnskye - Threads typically contain posts by more than one user, so the restriction of a thread on which you've been active does not necessarily mean that you are the culprit. ...... I'll try to assuage your angst regarding the "interpretative applications of Scripture" and the Lockman Foundation. What you apparently are calling "interpretative applications" is more properly called Forum rules or Forum guidelines. These guidelines have evolved over the lifetime of this Forum and represent cooperative efforts and a consensus arrived at by the Lockman staff and several "pioneer" users of StudyBibleForum. The Forum is not moderated in the sense that you understand it, as Tim has pointed out. But this does not mean that it is unsupervised. Lockman has established an efficient means of monitoring whereby threads can be suppressed within seconds, and an especially offensive user can be warned or removed promptly, sometimes within minutes. You yourself as a user have the authority to report abuse on any user at any time if you believe that the user has crossed the line and violated the established guides for Forum use. Does this shed light on your concerns? ...... I'll close with this observation. I've been on the Forum since very near its beginning and know for certain that quite a few have been removed over the years because they refused to follow the guidelines. Others have themselves chosen to become inactive. But not one user who has followed the clear and simple guidelines has had his account revoked! If one is careful always to play the game by the rules, he need not be concerned. It is the people who ignore the rules who get into trouble, and very quickly. --Hank |
