And I knew by banning this guy I'd get second guessed and questioned. Of course if I didn't deal with him, that would happen too for aforementioned reasons in my previous post.

Fair enough Chica, and I definitely bow to the experience of StillWaters in this, maybe it is just my frustration, I love talking with Christians in persecuted countries and the thought of witnessing to Muslim seekers, trolls or those vehemently opposed to Christianity. I do not get the chance often and another chance for me has gone. I cannot get in quick enough before they are banned.

Sometimes I let these people stick around a LONG time due to questions like this about why they're banned. Because by doing such folks eventually learn to not scrutinize such decisions.

But when I let them stick around, then we get reported posts about the Muslim who's in the forums promoting his Islam and such. Then we get accused of "promoting Islam", or "letting new weak unbelievers be exposed"...and on and on it goes.

Sorry I can't please everyone 100% of the time. :p
well you please me all the time you big rabbit rider you!

My point isn't about doing things or not doing things based on public opinion.
My point is that your opinion is one of thousands.
And I get the joy of dealing with opinions regardless of which decision I make. :p

In this case, due to previous experience, I know this is a Muslim just asking leading questions to spread his Islam.

Matt read this

From cc rules:

7. Do not dispute the chat room moderators.
The moderators are there to watch over the chat rooms, promote fellowship, and protect the chat rooms when necessary. Their job is stressful enough. :) Don't add to their stress by disputing their actions, especially if it involves someone else and not you. For example, if you see a moderator kick someone, and wonder why, don't worry about it. The moderator probably knows something you don't. Have some trust in the moderators, appreciate them, and respect their oversight of the chat rooms.
Also please don't be making posts in the forums about someone else's ban. It doesn't help!
And please understand that we don't have the time or energy to talk to a hundred different people (or even a dozen different people) about somebody else's ban. Leave it between that person and the moderator, please!

Fair enough, but a few of these "trolls" that have been banned recently only seemed to be asking genuine questions, which I will always have time to answer.
I would love to know what the steps are that determine whether they are trolls or not.
To me, everyone, troll or not are worthy of heaven and if genuine Christ seeking Muslims are booted all the time, then how do we win them for Him?
Wait, don't read to much into my post. It was spur of the moment and didn't mean to be negative necessarily. I'm just saying that the guy knows more about the angle people might have than I do. It wasn't negative or questioning.

Still waters has been on here since 2006. I'm thinking he probably has pretty good judgment. He's probably rode this train a few times. Making decisions like this would be tough. Don't the bans go up for a review or something?

Know little about scripture right? Not a clue what authority is?
do a study on it...make it your next one maybe.
cuz what your doing is a bannable offense whether you believe in it or not.

People need to trust the moderators with their work. Yes, misunderstandings happen...but you are more than free to use a site that doesn't do what they volunteer for at all...there are plenty of those. OR...you could just accept the authority on the site and play by the rules like anyone else. Stillwaters and all the other mods have been on here long enough to know what trolls smell like.

Ya know Matt, I volunteer and serve here for many hours a week for free, so people like you have a forum to interact in.
It really feels like I'm bein read the riot act here.
I truly really am trying my hardest.
