1. Dean: Five people have been banned – can anyone tell me why?2. (crickets)3. Dean: Can any administrator or moderator please reply?4. Administrator: Doyle has been notified, lighten up!5. One month later – Administrators: Silence 6. Dean: Bump.7. Dean: Still no reply. Can anyone give me an answer? The lepers have made penance at the Areopagus before the shrine of Actscelerate and pledged the same by email.8. Administrator: We are volunteers. We are busy. Doyle has been notified. This thread has been locked – do not bring this up again!Is that about right??
I e-mailed Doyle about it a couple days ago, & he said he would respond. He’s been very busy with his life. What? There are people who have a life outside of ACTS? ________________More of Him…less of me.twitter.com/camiracle77www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=691241499&ref=name
Well, when the response from an admin is:At the bottom of your last post you said, Please see the terms of use concerning messages devoid of content,
Personally, I think this thread is different. The other one was whiny, Why won’t they pay attention to us? and this one is simply commenting on the situation________________More of Him…less of me.twitter.com/camiracle77www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=691241499&ref=name
I tried to not make it whiny whatever that definition is but still tried to get someone’s attention.For the record, I personally don’t know any of the 5 banned people.One of them reached out to me to ask if I knew of any reason as to why their emails or PM’s would take so long to get a response.We emailed back & forth & after several days I finally posted the thread.After the thread was posted I received several more inquiries. The two I mentioned the most were the only two I had seen posting on Acts multiple times over the years so it seemed odd to me that they would not get a satisfactory response from admins.Neither of the two could fully explain why they thought they were banned.So we’re left with, it is what it is!________________Empty nest syndrome is for the birds!Email me at: [email protected] planters are focused on just one thing …introducing people to Jesus!
Yeah, because it’s in Doyle’s hands and he will respond when he’s able, as he always does, and no amount of you throwing shade at the rest of us is going to speed that up. Sorry you feel that way Dave.I wasn’t trying to make it personal or throw shade but whats a guy to do when he can’t get a response after several weeks?Was not my intention to stir up anger & hence the reason I sent you a PM yesterday regarding my original thread.________________Empty nest syndrome is for the birds!Email me at: [email protected] planters are focused on just one thing …introducing people to Jesus!
Go re-read your posts. You’ve got a funny way of “not trying to make it personalâ€. It’s beyond conception why your reasoned, measured posts about the people in charge elitely snubbing their noses at others didn’t have us rushing to interact with you. I just can’t figure out why you had trouble catching flies with that sweet, sweet honey that was dripping from your words.
Well here is my original post before I included the updates:

Did not know who started the thread and really only paid minimal attention to it at first. But the updates towards the end (not from the banned or original poster) did seem kind of whiny to me. My own personal opinion of whiny, for what it’s worth. No offense intended________________More of Him…less of me.twitter.com/camiracle77www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=691241499&ref=name
Dean, I believe you that you weren’t intending to come across aggressively, and nothing you said has upset me or made me angry. I also have never intended to come across in any way that is negative, so forgive me if that has been the case. At the same time, these issues don’t involve anyone but the original posters, who should email the Acts admin email that is in the footer (visible to people who are banned) and goes to Doyle. I’m not going to discuss these issues or my opinions or recommendations with anyone but the admins and the posters (though as I said, that typically rests with Doyle) so threads from anyone else demanding answers are not going to get them and don’t belong on the board.
Thank you for the clarification.And thanks Tom lol ________________Empty nest syndrome is for the birds!Email me at: [email protected] planters are focused on just one thing …introducing people to Jesus!
Perhaps a disclaimer should be added at the bottom of the page:
Tom, keep it up and we will make you an admin and then the rest of us will resign.
These clowns don’t know why they were banned. That’s funny right there________________
Well……..you sure do know how to shut a guy right down!!!
nah, we wouldn’t be here if we did.
nah, we wouldn’t be here if we did. Thanks, I have at least TWO smiles this evening! THANKS Carolyn and GP! ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
I propose a clean slate week. Unban everyone for one week with the condition that they don’t repeat what they were banned for. Lets see if we can get some fun back in here
