New Frubal?

And will that help?
Ah hah!
So you were the one behind the great frubal evisceration.
And now you want to go nuclear!
Has it ever functioned normally?And then the software would go haywire, at which point even the atheists might end up praying for it to function normally.
It would depend upon whether or not the staff pantheon would be inclined to answer your prayer.
It didn't help when I did it last time the software went bonkers.
I read your post wrong at first (it happens a lot), what i read was
"...atheists might end up paying for it to function normally"
Glad i re-read it before giving it an angry frube ;-)

I will be completely honest here and stick my neck out by saying that I'm concerned that a new prayer frubal will add fuel to a growing problem that I've seen and experienced on RF since I became a member. I'll say this as respectfully as I can, but I have a problem with a few Abrahamic theists who appear hell-bent to preach and proselytize their beliefs, despite the rule against it. I'll also say that their attitude seems to be come hell or high water, and damn the rules. I'm referring to the ones who have accused unbelievers such as myself of being sinners, rebelling against the biblical God, and threatening us with hellfire and brimstone. My concern is that these theists will use a prayer frubal to further their preaching and proselytizing conquests. Based on my experience with a few of them, I can envision them using the frubal as a means to antagonize an unbeliever who pushes back against being accused of being a sinner, rebelling against the biblical God, or any threats of going to hell. And to substantiate my concern, I'm including one of my previous posts where I addressed this problem. I'm not posting about this to be argumentative or rude. I'm sharing my concern because I see this as a real problem.

The answer is that you can't see it, because you think it's 'normal'. People that are prejudiced never see themselves as being prejudiced because they believe their prejudice is just "the truth of things". And unless they are willing to honestly doubt their own "truth", they never will. I have...

Such use would be abuse and would be banned.

I'm asking an honest question: If the Abrahamic theists I'm referring to are perpetually preaching and proselytizing their beliefs aren't banned for clearly and repeatedly violating Rule 8, then the abuse of this frubal would get them banned? These particular members repeatedly state their beliefs as if they were definitive facts and have repeatedly posted what I described in my previous post. It appears to me, as I'm sure it does to others, that these people are thumbing their noses at the rules, particularly Rule 8. Frankly, I'm not sure that them knowingly abusing this frubal will make any difference to them.
Members who repeatedly break the rules and have no regard for a specific rule, such as Rule 8, are either restricted/banned through the escalating infraction process or fast-tracked if the disregard for the rule is severe enough as determined by staff consensus.
A prayer frubal looks risky to treat as abuse.
I can easily see the giver having one intention,
but the recipient inferring another, or just
taking offense. And then staff must decide.
If you guys want that extra work, have at it.

Thank you for your response, SalixIncendium. I appreciate it. Of course, I don't know what goes on behind the scenes between members and the staff, but without mentioning names, I will say that the theists I have in mind are still a point of contention for me and have caused my experience on this forum to be stressful and miserable. Honestly, one of the main reasons I left for a month was because of some of them. I couldn't take it anymore and had to leave.
Abuse of the frubal would be banned the same way abuse of the funny rating is banned.

atheists do not pay or pray for such things, but evangelists do pay for ads, write-ups, etc.
They're called hairballs - you know - what cats upchuck.
I know the answer to that one. When it comes to my requests, I might as well "gnash my teeth" Lamentations 3:16It would depend upon whether or not the staff pantheon would be inclined to answer your prayer.
