I want to let everyone know that if a person avoids a question, then is taken to the Hot Seat and continues to avoid a question, then that person will be given a penalty square.
This is to curb the practice of avoidance which will further the mission here to test all things.
A sufficient answer can be “Yes”, “No”, “I don't know”, or a further explanation along those lines.
Obviously some questions cannot be answered such as loaded questions.
This will be moderated by moderators who have the ability to penalize members.

Sounds fascist to me.Stuart
Its called rules.
Societies use them a lot.
So do forums.
It keeps things in order.
If you don't like it, there are other forums that might suit your taste.Hi T8,
Once the question/questions get answered,
do they then get the penalty tiles removed?God bless

The rule sounds like a fascist one. That was all I was saying.Stuart
Hi T8,
I believe any question that limits an answer to a set of cleverly constructed
preconceived choices is meant to narrow the field to even more loaded questions. …and a snare!I have started a thread which explains this premise in great detail. (Link)
These types of 'loaded questions' SHOULD BE exempt
from any penalty as they will not lead to any biblical truth. …only ongoing conflict!They are meant only as leverage to make ones belief seem reasonable,
when the questionee will clearly NOT see it that way. In those types
of cases the questionee needs only to present a counter-view.Your brother
in Christ, Jesus.

holycitybiblecode.orgHi T8,
I agree that avoidance to answer the pressing questions
needs to be addressed in some way. And I believe
that you alone should be making this call.I have seen Mike take part in the unsavory practice expressed in my last post.
And I fear his abuse of power! In that way Nick made a much better moderator.I have seen his abuse of power (in the past) by his deleting of
three of my posts that were strong evidence against his position.
And you yourself know of the Moderator showdown with JustAskin.God bless

Ed, you really need to stop. The only “unsavory practice” going on here is YOUR continuous claims of wrongdoing on my part. How long ago did you start your “Loaded questions” thread? And in all that time, how many examples of loaded questions from me have people posted in that thread?NONE, right? I've asked everyone on that thread to copy and paste a loaded question that I've ever asked. And not ONE PERSON has ever been able to do that, have they?
So Ed, do you think it is fair and Christ-like conduct for you to keep bringing up some thread of yours, as if it condemns me, when in reality it amounts to nothing but baseless accusations from you?

Your posts were deleted because they were cut and pasted from another thread – where I had already addressed them. Cutting and pasting the same post over and over is called “flooding”, Ed. And flooding is against the rules of this site. I am (and was) within my rights as a moderator to remove the “flood” posts. And if that same thing happens again, I will most likely handle it the same way again.It seems that you have made a couple of false accusations against me in this post, Ed. What shall we do about that? Shall I just turn the other cheek, like I do 99% of the time?
Keep it up, and that 1% is going to bite you sooner or later.

That sounds fair enough to me, t8. We should all be willing to defend the claims we make here.Cheers Mike.
Stu, this was discussed a while ago. Some people liked the idea and others did not.
Edj. If I remember rightly, when I investigated your claim, I found no evidence.
Regardless, the point with answering questions is a good one because it stops proud people from avoiding their hurt pride by admitting they don't have an answer. The rule encourages honesty and that is not only a good thing, but is central to what this forum is trying to achieve. This forum is not about egos and a carefully crafted portrayed image. No it is about the truth.

Good let's start with you. Is Adam the son of God?Bod. The way it works is to tell someone you are putting them in the Hot Seat because they are avoiding your question/s. If they don't answer questions from there, then they get pinged. Of course they have to be aware that they have questions there.
It is the last resort if a person is refusing to answer in the forums.
So continue to ask questions in the forums and debates. And use the Hot Seat only for those avoided questions. You can also place yourself in the Hot Seat if you want to test what you believe.

What claim?For such to happen T8, Nick should be reinstated as a Moderator. He doesn't seem to be the type that bites. Just an observation. What do you think?

Go back to your own words.Quote I have seen his abuse of power (in the past) by his deleting of
three of my posts that were strong evidence against his position.Anyway, I cannot exactly remember if this was the one I investigated. Too trivial for me to remember.

Nick was offered that position but chose to not take it.
Anyway, I am happy with 2 mods at the moment.
