Thank you still_waters. And amen to everything you said.

I hope this will give people some insight. This kind of thing happens all the time, and then we get flack, when people don't even know all the facts.

We ban blatant troublemakers -- that goes without saying.

But unfortunately we also have to ban good Christian people, sometimes. Why? Here's why. Because, for some reason, in a online Christian chat room and forum, some people don't respect the order that we have in place, in the same way that they would for anything in person (e.g., any organized Christian group or function). So what else can we do? I mean, for example, someone is getting on webcam without a shirt. He's a great Christian guy. But people complain that they're not interested in seeing his chest. So we ask him to please wear a shirt. Then he does it again another day. So we warn him again. Then he does it again another day! Well, okay he might be the most wonderful Christian guy you ever met, but don't blame us if he/she/whoever doesn't respect the simple order that we have in place here in the same way that they would any kind of in person Christian group/function/etc. This is just a random example. I could give many. Anyway.

What else can I say, except that when good Christian people refuse to respect the order that we have in place -- that we must have in place -- well, honestly it's not our fault.

Lastly, bans can be appealed, and we do undo bans, and have undone many bans. (Please just leave it at that.)
