Moderator banned me for challenging his unscriptural beliefs in a private message. Then the conversation went as follows. The moderator is "Hidden in Him" and my name is Alfred:

Moderator "Hidden in Him" banned me for 3 months for challenging his doctrinal views in a private message. Then when I complained and asked to his supervisor, he banned me again. What follows is our "private conversation"

It will be three months this time, six months the next time, and a permanent ban after that. We need members who can be spiritual adults here, Alfred, and think like spiritual adults. That's not what you're doing.

Alfred Persson said:
Can I appeal your "ruling" to someone higher. I think banning me for "private comments" to you was a violation of "privacy" and normal rules for moderators. Perhaps get the "owners" point of view on this?

Hidden In Him said:
I suggest you not worry about appeals and just try to apply yourself to the rules. It’s not that hard, and we are not asking anything unreasonable.

Respect the community and how it is run and it will respect you back, Disrespect it and your chances wil eventually run out.
I believe you seriously abused your authority, banning me for a private challenge, for a very long period. And now threaten even worse treatment.

Alfred Persson said:
I want your "supervisor" to consider our conversation, and your outrageous abuse of authority.

I insist.

When I tried to log on, I was notified I was banned. Not told for how long, likely permanently.

Selective editing, suspended threads and implied threats to suspend threads, and outright censorship are standard fare at this pseudo-Christian site. There are a couple of decent mod's that run cover for the cranky "senior" mod; they are usually fair enough to deal with when out of range of "senior." However, "senior" has a nasty, demonically inspired habit of claiming that anyone who disagrees with him is a "bad Christian," thus abusing and perverting his position of trust. That spirit is so foul that the only way I can enter the site is if God leads me there, as otherwise, the site makes me ill. "Senior" has admitted he doesn't even possess the inspired word of God i.e. the Holy Bible, as the site's ToS spouts the usual PC disclaimer that only the "original autographs" are God's inspired words. "Senior's" consistently ungodly behavior has given Satan an open door, who continues to foul the entire site. "Senior" will soon have much to answer for...

I was banned for putting laughing emoji In a thread about Trump Harris debate.
Moderator asked me why, my reply, is it against the TOS To think a post is funny, I was laughing at pro trump post only, and one was the moderator that banned me.
I also challenged those after a post about eating bacon and shrimp, stating, "maybe You and God can share some swine when you get to heaven", to cause some critical thinking.

I was banned.

They say it was disrespect, but those disrespecting on the opposite view get a thumbs up emoji.

The paying members get away with all disrespectful comments.

Moderators did not allow to me to politely challenge obvious and dangerous falsehoods about the covid vaccine. In short, if you wish to politely argue that the vaccine is safe and effective, you will be muzzled. More generally, this site is, at least historically, more or less a right-wing echo chamber. I politely suggest that by promoting lies about the covid vaccine, christianforums.net bears at least some responsibility for needless suffering and death. Very heavy-handed and biased moderating.
