A troll could come in here right now and rip the place apart from Celestial right on down to Prison including porn spamming the entire board.

The Celestial Forum is divinely protected. I'm running that place right now and it's sweet as candy. Anyone who comes up to mess with Celestial is in peril of dealing with the full rage and wrath of Shulem -- totally unleashed and relentless.

The Celestial Forum is our SAFE place. Don't anyone mess with that or they'll pay a dear price.

Lol. That request speaks volumes. :)
ETA - much of that post is a mischaracterization of events, in an attempt to mask the poster’s own behavior and intent.
I've never seen two posters so desperate to stay on a board while blatantly and intentionally damaging it at the same time.

No one can pay a dear price without moderators on board. If you have the spiritual ability to cloak the Paradise Forum, feel free! That said, the only real safe place is where you and I go. ;-)

Haha!! Delete my post for crude language and no one else's? Awesome!! I provided plenty of Doc Cam post that are totally off the rails insane and you come up with the solution of deleting just my post. Yeah!! You would make an awesome moderator 🤯

Man!! I would love to see the PMs between you and Lem conspiring to get rid of me.
One more time.

You have yet to acknowledge that Cam made a pledge to Shades and that fact has been brought to your attention on at least 3 occasions. You are using Cam's pledge as an excuse to damage this board and derail topical threads.
I understand what Doc posted to mean: I'll keep breaking your rules until you meet my demand. I would not describe that as a "pledge." Neither would I consider it a mitigating factor with respect to the broken rules. During the period when moderation was absent, we all chose how to post and should take responsibility for that choice.

And nobody is going to know about that little private place because it's our little secret.

I love being nasty, sometimes.

A good argument can be made to delete posts that are just reposts of other posts originating in other forums… especially given that the rules differ for some forums.

As example, you couldn’t drag Temple content originating in, say, Telestial, into Celestial, simply because you have a beef about it being posted in Telestial.

I don’t have to explain that to you. You know this, but are choosing to spam the thread here anyway with content that originated elsewhere.

You have yet to understand Shades understands what's going on here. You, Lem and now Gadianton want to remove certain posters when Shades knows perfectly well this toxicity in spirit Paradise started before I got here. Here's Shades asking you a question a couple weeks back.

Before you put out a call for moderators in the Terrestrial Forum, tell me: What rules are our newcomers breaking that others aren't also breaking?


You see! He understands what's going on In the spirit paradise. You're trying to put it all on me when you and your friends share a lot larger portion of the blame than I do. At any point in the 8 months before I got here you could've told Doc Cam to settle down and not call posters mushroom dick sucking assholes. But you didn't. Now, I'm your target because you can't accept responsibility for breaking the rules yourself.

Hey Res,

Thanks!

I have been wanting to post something similar to this more than once - but decided to refrain.

HOW ABOUT having three forums down there in Paradise? have a base set of rules for each forum much like those in the Mormon boards.

Celestial Paradise
Terrestrial Paradise

A-Mike,

You brought profanity to this thread in Terrestrial over from Paradise. I said nothing about deleting your profanity in Paradise, that's up to Shades or the group decision, or whatever it is, for how to moderate a forum that I think is very difficult to moderate. See that? Your personal insults are the crudest that discussMormonism has ever had; way, way beyond anything from Cam. Cam is a Saint compared to you. But, notwithstanding, I'm saying you should be allowed to carry on as you have been in Paradise.

I'm talking about the trash you bring to this forum. While deciding what to do with Paradise, Terrestrial shouldn't become an extension of your war.

Shades isn't in a good place in life right now it looks like, and it sucks we have to burden him.

Why not show a good faith effort that you're anything but a troll, go back, and edit every single one of your posts on THIS thread in Terrestrial, and delete crude content and foul language?

Then go back and act like a nine year old in Paradise as you have been, and enjoy your freedom over there, for now.

Understanding the difficult position Shades is in, I might decide to proactively protect Terrestrial until he can figure things out and take my stripes later if he thinks I'm in the wrong.
