**Every fast it is like we’re re-creating West Side Story here at CAF. **
** :slapfight:**
** Cool it, will ya?**
I have higher expectations of charitable and fruitful behavior from posters during Lent. I’m typically easy-going and I allow a lot of leeway, but that leeway is being taken advantage of right now.** I will be strictly moderating for the remainder of the Lenten Fast**, and I will be warning, infracting and if necessary banning members for violations of the forum rules in Non-Catholic Religions or Eastern Catholicism. Please don’t let it include you. If there’s any doubt about charity or compliance with forum rules then write me or delete it.
**Some of the things that will get you banned this Lent:**1) Telling me that you refuse to abide by the forum rules.
2) Bringing up topics, veiled or directly, that are banned topics. One example is speculating on why members were suspended or banned.
3) Calling each other schismatics or heretics despite counseling or knowledge of the rules which forbid it.
4) Using abusive language with me or with forum participants.
5) Being consistently uncharitable, questioning the faith of others, or otherwise continuing to violate the forum rules despite moderator attempts to address the uncharitable behavior.
I welcome your private messages with questions, comments or concerns and will do what I can to be understanding and helpful. I’m here to make sure the forum rules are applied consistently, fairly, and appropriately to all. The rules are clear: we expect all people to maintain charity in their postings, to refrain from posting rude or abusive messages, to refrain from questioning the faith or sincerity of other posters, and to abide by the other rules outlining an expectation of basic courtesy.
Please don’t decide to take concerns into your own hands by responding in a way that is also in violation of the rules as this will not help anyone and will only get you included in the list of those being warned, infracted, suspended, or banned (depending on severity). It is my hope that the list of such members will be empty throughout Lent. Please help me to attain this by doing your part to remain charitable and to post within the forum rules, reporting problem posts as necessary.
May God Bless You Abundantly,
