Another reason for a ban is when someone teaches against the core truths of the Christian faith such as what is established in the CC rules. Here and here.

One core element of the Christian faith is salvation, and there are some members here who keep teaching salvation by works incessantly in the BDF.
Oh yeah, and then there's this one:

12. Please do not plant/spread seeds of suspicion and mistrust about CC fundraising.
Please don't go around creating a cloud of mistrust and suspicion concerning fundraising on ChristianChat.com It takes a lot of hard work, and money so people have a place for chatting, fellowship, ministry, and discussion. Creating a cloud of mistrust and suspicion makes our task more difficult. It's inconsiderate, and inconsistent to consume free of charge, the product of someone's hard work, if you go around telling others how they can't be trusted, or if you go around raising a cloud of suspicion about them.


As far as the BDF forum goes, I wish I could see a 'statement of faith' or 'essentials of our faith' document from this website. I think this would help eliminate some of the debate.

Ahh.. I see that in Post #2 of that thread you linked, roaringkitten; as the Mod said--it's not comprehensive.

I notice the "Statements & Articles" link goes to a "forbidden" section. I wonder if this is where the 'articles of faith' could be...

There is a tab on the top of the site that reads "statements and articles" but when I click it, the page says I don't have permission to view the page. Perhaps that is the statement of faith you are inquiring about?

I emailed a mod about that but the mod never replied to my email.

Yes! Was wondering if anything is there (but we just can't see it) -- and wondering if the site's owner ever intends to publish a document which clarifies the site's statement of faith.

i bet you i get banned for posting this because they know they are thieves
No, you will get banned for (as you were the first time) for violating site rules. Your first account for violating site rules about advertising, this account for misrepresenting your original ban. Purchasing a subscription does not place you above the rules.

The "Statements and Articles" section is part of the standard vBulletin template that we (Christian Chat) do not use, but also we cannot remove the tab so it is just part of no man's land.

Thanks Oncefallen, BrotherJustin, and roaringkitten. I think the "Statements & Articles" tab actually can be removed but I was planning to actually use it. I guess a Statement of Faith would be a good way to start that section. (For the record, we have no problem refunding this girl's subscription and that's already done actually.)

Is there somewhere on this site the rules regarding thread hijacking?

I am posting this because some members are advised to start their own thread when they reply to a particular thread, and apparently their reply is considered thread hijacking.
I think at the very top of the front page you might find some Information under fax

Sometimes Its because of selfishness,wanting to be accepted In the community and other times Its done innocently,but I think If It Is bothering the OP(original poster),then the OP should let the offending poster know,hopefully with grace.

On another site I go to there is a little button for "focused discussion." If anyone really wants to stay focused, they click that, and then right under the title of the thread is "Please stay on topic."

Admittedly, who notices that? Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't, but when anyone goes off topic, as long as someone -- anyone -- writes a quick reminder, we work at it.

Some things don't need to be written in stone. We are capable of being civil. So something like that does help to remind us what the OP would prefer.

(Sometimes I like my topics to stay focused, sometimes I don't, and sometimes I write something to see where it wanders to because it's fun just to gab on occasion.)
