Ban the CheerGuy?

[Elad OCS]

Its come to my attention that he is resorting to PM's in his arguments.
Which does not bother the rest of us, but maybe to the recipient's of the PM's.
Its very rare to be banned in forums, but if one is too annoying - so be it. 
He would be the 1st active forum member to be banned in forums (a few spammers are banned).
You all can let him know how you feel about him anonymously anyway. An interesting experiment.
Also, he is currently BANNED in the gameserver for arguing - as noted in other poll.

Note: You can change your Vote's anytime.....

ban from forum for first part of vote?

It will be nice to hear each vote's voice. So I can be accuracy with my vote. For now, I will not vote until I know full story.

[Nighthawk]

Well Pure with all do respect its in the forum both sides of the story

[Navy CW4]

I won't post what the guy wrote to me.  But I can assure you all he was doing was being "cute".  Not to mention that someone has really mislead this boy on the history of America on its Christian heritage.

[Elad OCS]

I am partically banning TheCheerGuy in forums as well, as most here want it.
 He should be able to READ only... He will not be able to see PM's or send any.
Were not into arguments here Tex and your filthy ideas are not welcomed.

i hope we can agree to disagree (by tex)

No, I do not agree with this statement either.
Too long Christians have been 'tolerating' evil.
God does not tolerate it, so I won't...


Avatar removed as well

THANK YOU ELAD!

[Cortath OCS]

I agree.

[neo42]

Thanks Elad.

[The Deacon OCS]

Hopefully he will mature and change his thought process to reflect the teachings of the Kingdom. I expect that if he does, Meerkat or Terminator will let us know. But even they kicked him out of =GA= as well as their own forum.

[Gunny OCS]

I think he has pushed way beyond any limits and caused enough hate and discontent....  I say good bye, good ridons and good luck.....

[neo42]

I agree Gunny.

I was playing on SAE about a week ago and Cheer Guy / Tex now known as Stormchaser was playing.

He apoligized to me/OCS. He said that he was wrong and had done some praying and maturing. I challenged him on the prior heresy that he was pushing and other bad theology. He told me that he changed those beliefs and now knew they were wrong. We typed back and forth for a while while the game went on.

When a brother truly repents, we are charged with restoring that brother into the fellowship and to continue to teach him.

I throw this out there because we should find out if he has seriously repented. If so, then now is the time to help lead him to a better life in Christ.

[Gunny OCS]

I would like to see him post before anything happens on our end.  And I dont mean a quick message in the shout box.

[PureKnight OCS]

Gunny say the excat thing I say in the shout box if anybody notice. I ask him start the post to explain for his past action and post his apologize. Then we will gladly restore him back into fellowship almost immediately. It is about accountability. Deacon, I heartfelt agree with you.

Is it a possible that cheerguy cannot post because he is block from doing that?

[Mouko OCS]

I completely agree with you Deacon...if he has repented, then absolutely we must restore him and should want to.

By nature of forums, there will have to come a point where we have to trust, or not, what he's saying.  My opinion is that we should allow him to post or PM (and then post in member area) his heart and mind and how God has worked in his heart and mind over everything.  We can all take a look and discuss what we think and feel about it.

I do, however, also want to encourage everyone to do their part in this...and that is to pray and seek God's direction in dealing with this as well as praying for him.  I have seen too much lately of the lack of love and quick condemnation, by those confessing Jesus Christ, of other professed believers.  I pray that does not happen here.  Out of love we should be praying that God has and/or IS changing him for His glory.

[LionOfJudah OCS]

we can allow him to post and see what he says and hopefully GOD has shown him the right path. there are enough mature christians here that can tell if he is just telling us what we want to hear. i particularly think he was annoying and i was not and still not happy with the subject of homosexuality that he expressed, but GOD can change anybody and  anything and i pray he has. OH, we can always ban him again permanantly later.

[Goose OCS]

I think that if he says he has changed then I agree that we should let him post and find out if he really has before we let him back into the server. Maybe he has relized what he has done and God's light has shined on him and he now is on the right path. I think we should give him a second chance. However i will throw out there that if that kind of behavior happens again i think we should just ban and keep it that way, but a second chance is in order. just my 2 cents

[The Deacon OCS]

Great attitude guys. I agree with your comments.

I agree that he was very annoying in addition to other things but we don't always choose those who are in our family.

I believe that he was banned from posting here so that ban will need to be lifted so he can post. His future posts will give us insight on whether he is a man of his word.

Once in, we tell him to be respectful and that he is on a probation of sorts.

And I agree with Mouko in that God can change someone for his glory - he changed each one of us.

True, if he is saved, we should and I agree.

As always you are some of the wisest and kindest men I am associated with that carry firearms.   

[The Deacon OCS]

Now thats funny. 

[Goose OCS]

good one Vaf 

[PureKnight OCS]

Well... unban him for the post already, will you? (no disrespect here but it is something that we cannot afford to delay)

[Mouko OCS]

Now thats funny. 

Yeah, lol...it is...

Alrighty then, sounds like we're pretty much all on the same page with this.  I'll take care of the ban but it is definately on a "probationary" basis.  He will have to demonstrate his change of heart and mind.  If it is truly of God, then it will be apparent in more ways than one...if not, then the situation will be dealt with again.

I am very happy to see everyone handling the issue this way.  It is never a light issue to remove someone from fellowship or from influence of the children of God.  Often times it seems to many to be too easy to do this when the not-so-easy thing would be to try to be a good influence for the glory of God.  Speaking for myself, if the grace of God was not what it is, well, let's just say I'm eternally grateful.  We should always show that grace to others while at the same time NEVER compromising the truth.

[The Deacon OCS]

After you lift the ban, make sure that you email him and let him know. Would not hurt to counsel him about his future visit here and that it will be probationary.
