> Possible how? Interesting question...

DSM-IV Diagnostic Criteria of contributive posting... (bear with me...)

01. what are the poster's motivations for being a part of this community?

02. when answering posts, does the poster apply individual attention to what is being said, or do they answer the post the same way regardless of what is said

03. relating to 01, if the poster is soley intent on support, is the advice given healthy to others in the opinion of those seeking help? Are there references or commonalities that can be understood without the necesity of such things as faith?

04. what is the poster's history with the board? Have they made attempts at sensible conversation, either asking for advice, or giving it? Have people found their advice helpfull?

05. when posting what might be considered an uncivl message, is this incvility intentional or is it perhaps an error in judgement? If you've ever seen an honest to god flame-war, you'll understand what I mean.

06. does the poster respect the rules of the board to the utmost of their abilities?

07. does the poster respect the opinions of others, and is the poster willing to calmly discuss their own opinions, if questioned?

08. what does the poster think about me? Haha... yuk yuk... just kidding...

09. has the posters comments on the board resulted in the consternation of more than one of the other members of the board, at the same time or over a period of time?

10. is the poster willing to listen, or are they just a one way transmiter? do they answer questions with questions? are their messages lucid, are their answers lucid?

...blah, just some things I think could be applied... Im not in favour of kicking anyone off the board. If you kick one person off, whats to say that another person might be next. I dont think anyone wants that looming over their shoulder...

We are all, by and large adults here, and hopefully we can conduct ourselves in ways that don't add distress to anyone's life. It's hard enough dealing with depression when you feel threatend or excluded. I think the theology board was a good step in the right direction... I certainly hope that everyone here has a chance to contribute meaningfully and perhaps gain some sort of solace from others. I think that is the true function of this board, support, and being supported.
