    Peace all,

    Thanks David! ;D

    Didnt quite understand. R u saying the mods/admins wont take any action on any abusive posts they spot if no member has complained about it?
    I think all such posts should be dealt with, complaint made or not made.
    No, I meant that I will try to clean it up wherever I see it! Till the 'notify mod/admin' tab is not present, I request people to send their complaints to the mods personally in the old fashioned way, just in case a mod has not seen the post.

    I am not against permanent banning if it happens in steps like as planned. Hey, shouldnt the forum rules thread have a sticky?
    And I would also suggest the mods/admins keep all the disciplinary actions including reasons transparent in a thread (one which can be used by only mods/admin, to avoid confusion) so that its transparent for every one to see, beware and be cautious and also for everyone to see that its unbiased.
    I have sent a request to the admin to sticky it because I tried to do it and this thread got stickied instead -\ apparently some settings have been turned off. I agree with the transparency to avoid problems, in this I mentioned that the warnings be displayed under the avatar information as I think some forums have that. It's upto Layth though, if he thinks it's a good idea.

      Hi SC,

      I will try to clear up such language and personal remarks wherever I see them, and I hope you guys can help us out by sending a PM wherever you see them, so that conflicts can be defused before they have a chance to erupt and thus create more problems for everyone. I'm learning the ropes right now about the techinical aspects inclusive of cleaning up posts so please bear with me. Thanks.

      Let me ask u frankly. U want us to report such posts, right?

      So, what action has been taken reg the post I quoted? The member was previously temporarily banned for a week for breaking forum rules. R we gonna do anything now, since he has broken forum rules yet again in his post? According to the forum rules, he should have a temporary ban of 1 month, shouldnt he?

      Peace!

        Banning is a group decision by consensus and for it to happen, strong evidence must be presented. If you feel strongly about it, please present your argument briefly and send it to all the moderators/admin.

          This is what makes the whole system confusing. What constitutes a strong evidence? So, with every post that one is asked to report, if u want us to make a strong case/argument, why is anybody gonna bother to spend so much time? And it should not be about if i feel strongly about it or not, It should be about 'is it right or wrong?'

          I have a question coz I am really trying to understand.

          Islam's peace comes AFTER conflict and victory over mischief, not as a result of lying down and taking fecal matter from the likes of you.

          From
          http//www.free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=5765.msg86937#msg86937

          Is the language in the above post in line with forum rules or is it not? There is no middle way. So, let us know.
          If it is in line with forum rules, people would understand that such language is acceptable in the forum.
          If its not acceptable, then u convey so by taking action......appropriate action.

          Please make things clear.

          peace!

            peace all. I agree with peaceful-muslim...A little more consistency,competence,ease,and speed is needed with these warnings....Which should be public/transparent,fully explained and swift...

              Not everyone feels that something is as bad as someone might make it. That's why we have a consensus in regards to banning. Once again, please send them to ALL the mods/admin so that we can get to the bottom of it and check the history and nature of the disputes. Once again the final decision rests with Layth.

                Peace all. I have reported mquran and ab for repeated bad-language and hostility...I hope their behaviour will be publicly reprimanded...Hopefully this is the way these guys will learn to speak respectfully....I hope something is done about this 'uncivil' approach...

                  Salam all,

                  I will respond because I will show u that I'm not a coward.

                  I was the one who sent the PM to Br Layth.

                  Jaxal did annoyed me alot and he was treating me in a strange way.

                  But I was not alone about this, my male friend he had proofs from other forums that Jaxal did harass female members and he told that to Br Layth.

                  I didn't knew that the ban was forever, and I think Jaxal has learn his lessons now, or I hope he has (

                  Sorry that this has gone so far, it wasn't my intention to hurt anyone, I'm not like that at all.

                  Please forgive me God and u guys, that we will be fair in our desicions.

                  To Jaxal I hope u forgive me, but why did u chase me like that?

                  Peace Sister Maria

                  P.s I welcome Jaxal back if he wants so, I use to give people a second chanse.

                    Peace all. I just feel its time that someone stood up and addressed these two posters...I feel their behaviour is not constructive...I sincerely hope they both reform their internet methodologies and language...

                      Peace,

                      Jaxal did annoyed me alot and he was treating me in a strange way.

                      Can u quote the posts or some evidence of 'harrasment' please?

                      But I was not alone about this, my male friend he had proofs from other forums that Jaxal did harass female members and he told that to Br Layth.

                      Can we have the male member's name, please? And the proofs from him from.........., did u say ''other forum''? I didnt know this was an multi-forum body, but nevertheless, lets have those proofs from u and ur male friend.

                      Peace!

                        Peace,

                        I don't save old messages like that. And he didn't just annoyed me at this forum but also in chat because I had gave him my yahoo messenger before.

                        I will not hang out someone, I think all must step forward with free will.

                        Peace sis Maria

                          U dont need to save messages. They r saved in the forum. Just quote the ones where he 'harassed' u.

                          but also in chat because I had gave him my yahoo messenger before.

                          Chatting in messenger is one's personal domain and nothing to do with the forum as such.
                          U can always block someone, if u dont want to chat with anyone. How can someone forcefully 'harass' or even chat with u against ur will?

                          Lets have some evidence of the harassment .

                          Peace!

                            And also SM,

                            Did u write the following to Layth?

                            I'm not a slanderer but as a woman I don't like when men are disrespect women only because she is a woman. Jaxal harass all females who post in Fm and he has do it to me too, he is famous in Fm all knows about him.He can't act normal with women and he is so childish with all his emoticons on every line.

                            So, give evidence where u felt harassed becoz u were a woman.

                            Give evidence where he harassed other females in FM (u seem to be speaking on behalf of females in FM)

                            Give evidence where U have come to know from other females(also name them) that they feel harased by jaxal

                            Give evidence where he didnt act normal with women.

                            Peace!

                              To The Mods/Admins,

                              This is what Jaxal has to say to clarify the harassment accusation.

                              1. Jaxal has asked u guys to check all his pm's to all/any females and especially to SM to see if there is any evidence of harassment in them. He is ready to reveal the password if requested.

                              2. U r free to check all his posts from the forum for any evidence of ''harassment' of ANY female or specifically Sweden Majidah

                              3. Jaxal can even present the final 2 messenger logs /conversations where he chatted with Sweden Majidah, if requested by the mods/admins/members.

                                    U made an accusation against a person, Sm. U cant do so without backing up with ANY evidence. u cant wake up one day and decide 'I am gonna accuse this person of harassment today becoz I feel so'. Thats not how it works.

                                    And all I ask u is one simple question.......Just one single evidence of harassment of u or any......female in the forum to back up ur claim to layth.

                                    And if u cant do that, U ought to apologise and retract ur harassment accusation.

                                    Peace!

                                      Peace Maria, all

                                      Let me say at first that I applause to Marias step to come forward! BRAVO!
                                      WELL DONE INDEED!

                                      I cant help myself but what I noticed even before is that Maria mentions the word chasing a lot. On many occassions you said how you were chased by men......And now its even Jaxal ???????????????
                                      I'm sorry Maria i dont believe you that Jaxal chased you but thats only your own vanity, imagination.

                                      And Ahmed and KGB
                                      I find it quite ugly and sexist the way you comment this thread!!! would you make the same comments if two men are arguing here? I BET NO
                                      couse when two men have a figtht its much more serious and importand, right? here its only two hysterical women who will pull their hair over a man ????????
                                      thats not what its all abuot here!!! elektro
                                      Why bringing up Raw Wrestling (?!!!!!!???) when Maria and PM have a valid argument about a serious topic? Its disgusting Ahmed and KGB!!!!

                                      I really hope the Mods take a stand on that! It cant be that this crap will be without comment from the admins/Mod.

                                          Peace all,

                                          Tempers are running high and I have edited and removed some posts. If this thread cannot stay on topic without flaming and offending people I will lock it. The only reason it is open for a bit is to let swedenmajidah clear her position. Please stick to the topic it is a sensitive issue.
