Ban

I have a suggestion:
If anyone on this message board purports to be a Baha'i, and yet continually posts statements that are blatantly contrary to the Baha'i Writings, I suggest you eject him from the Baha'i library forum. Maybe give a few warnings—but this is a dangerous tactic that has been implemented before, specifically, publicly proclaiming to be a Baha'i and doing things that bring disgrace to the good name of the Faith.
In fact, a zero tolerance policy doesn't sound bad either. That, or subversive statements could be deleted and the perpetrator could be e-mailed or P.M.ed a warning. After that, I.P. > Ban!
Because, for example, if someone in your community tells everyone that God doesn't exist, and he openly smokes hashish and is promiscuous, he'd have his administrative rights taken away A.S.A.P. (if people complained). Also if he said things that go against the Baha'i teachings, like for example "the Bab was a false prophet," etc., he'd probably even after a certain point get the designation of "Covenant Breaker." So why be lenient here, especially given the Baha'i moderators? Baha'i moderators, I believe, with a conscience, cannot let such things take place under their wing.
