Subject: Can moderators block objectionable text? |
Bible Note: Hi, Hank! I agree with you totally! There's a limit to what man can do (given authority and power) without getting caught up in that biased business... and, complete automation would require extensive and expensive equiptment/programs that do not always work as prescribed (there are some currently in use where a constant response (a or b) is given no matter how the query is composed... even googles and others have their crunching errors and supply everything but the correct response to the search!); that is why I said that it would be nice to have the capacity to remove/block offensive text... As it is this forum has a great variaty of people (age, experience, religious affiliations...) and it is more homogenous than many special interest forums that I've experienced... Like you my computer skills are minimum... had I the knowledge I would offer to create and install a program that would block out text or remove posts that the general members would deem offensive--this I would do free of charge, of course... But as you noted, as long as the general populace continues to curb and educate the few whose agenda is to violate the forum's guidelines or to expound their anti-Christian rhetoric we will continue to have an excellent Christian Forum! Finally, I must concurr with you, our prayers will do more than all the monitoring (automated or otherwise) in the world! If we continuously invit the Holy Spirit to guide and protect the forum and its members, the Hand of God will accomplish all things! God Bless! Angel |
