Well the bdf is a majorly popular forum where most Christians( aka judgemental bible thumpers
) frequent at a very massive pace and we have only a few moderators all volunteers and try to keep us in check but lets be honest even if we had six mods in the bdf the issue isn't a lack of mods or a lack of banning it's body of the forum itself.
We are like children we never seem to listen or learn we love to argue and prove we are right and others are wrong we looooooove to show how biblically adept we are and a lot of us speak on this issue and speak of love yet how many put their words into practice? It isn't enough to know that love is greatly needed in the forums because if we are not willing to show it then we are just all talk. I remember there was a major troll on this forum a hard core Atheist and he was purposely baiting everyone in the bdf to argue and attack him he name called he used and twisted scripture and even blasphemed God and most everyone was taking his bait and argued and attacked him they name called him and used scripture to attack him.
But there was one person he sudden;y turned his focus to and that was me, the reason for this was because no matter how much he attacked me name called me used scripture against me or blasphemed I continued to respond in a loving calm and mature manner. Eventually he openly said to me that he has been trying to bait me for a while now but unlike everyone else I wouldn't take the bait. He was banned not long afterwards but one day came to cc under a new username only for the sole purpose to message me and tell me that i was not like other Christians he had met and the way I showed him love and gentleness even under such harsh attacks made him curious to seek God.
I never heard from him after that but I have always believed that even one response in love can make a difference and this person was proof of that
