No, this is making fun of the bad christians who act like zombies. The good ones are actually smart INDIVIDUALS, not uniform drones to some corrupt priest. Besides this is making fun of baptists because they have strayed away from the true church of love without knowing it. True christians are not compared to zombies in this thread. And it is indeed bashing liberals so as well so how come that isn't mentioned?

No you are making fun of Christain beilfs in general. This is very offensive to me and lik I said if nothing is done I will be emailing jolt.

How am I making fun of Christians in general? BAPTIST zombies not CHRISTIAN ones. Baptists as posted earlier strayed away from the church of love and created one of hate. And liberals are getting bashed too so it doesn't bash christian beleifs or the gays would actually win these fights.

1) I am a Christian, not a Christain.
2) This site allows parody.
3) Nationstates is separate from Jolt.

Yes, but you are portraying Christains Murdering Gays. And saying that they are killing people becasue they wont convert. Please if you do not mean to offend Christian state that in your thread. And State that these are not Christain zombies. People that read your threadd assume they are christains and you are making fun of them.

Awahile back i posted this:http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a147/darth_avondale/Gay-Country.jpg I deleted it without problom when told. ipeople had a fit when I posted it though. Now that somone is doing the same thing you are doing nothing. I am greatly offended. If you allow "Parody" then why was my post reported and ordered deleted?

Ok, I will note that it is Baptists being made fun of, not christians. I apologize for any misunderstanding this has caused.

Thankyou.

I have to say, that thread offends me also.

I mean, come on! Zombies are people too!

Comparing zombies to religious zealots with no sense of humor... As a zombie, I personally find the thread to be a disgusting stereotype of the zombie lifestyle!

Zombies have gone on to make great contributions to society - they have single-handedly preserved a great film genre and fill many important roles, even at the highest level of politics, yet you persist in maintaining - nay, PROMOTING - the view of zombies as being closed-minded humorless drones with no minds or wills of their own, only parroting dogma in a death-rattle groan.

Do we not have feelings too? If you prick us, do we not bleed? Ok... well... ooze a little?

Please refrain from further zombie stereotypes! If this continues, I may have to email jolt staff about this!

Remember... "GLAD TO BE GRAY!" Zombies are people too!

Thanks Frizz!!!! Cookies for you! lol

You know there is a reason we have a MODERATION team, Dweladelfia, and I cannot help but notice that you are NOT ON IT.

Throwing a tantrum by telling us that since you don't like the ruling you're rreporting us to Jolt -- which has, by the way, a SEPARATE moderation team and leaves administration of our games and our forums to ourselves is no better than demanding that the governor fire a traffic agent for giving you a ticket you don't want.

The probloms fixed. I have nothing more to say.

I have more to say, though.

We do not guarantee that you will not be offended on this site. In particular, we don't make that guarantee to you, Dweladelfia prime, and we've pointed this out to you on other occasions. You have a tendency to protest over the slightest incident, and quite frankly, you frequently waste our time with these requests. Your threat to appeal to Jolt moves us not at all, as these are OUR forums. Grow a skin.

That said, the OP was merely bad roleplay. A later post crossed the line into trolling, and I closed the thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11884130&postcount=6). Grace Academy, it's no more acceptable to troll Baptists than it is to troll all Christians or all Muslims or any subset of anything.

Follow our rules. They're not optional.

I'm sorry, I'm kind of new. Is trolling the same as bashing? :confused:

Ah, the sweet smell of hypocrisy. It's not ok to parody Christians; it's fine if they are only Baptists.

Nice.

Trolling: Posts that are made with the aim of angering people. (like 'ALL JEWS ARE [insert vile comment here]' for example). While Trolls often make these posts strictly in an attempt to provoke negative comment, it is still trolling even if you actually hold those beliefs. Intent is difficult to prove over the internet, so mods will work under their best assumptions.

That can be bashing, or just making a claim that is extremely inflammatory.

Trolling: Tossing out comments that are designed to get a rise out of people. Like saying 'Baptists hate everyone' when you can in no way prove this - it's meant to elicit a response. Taken from a fishing tactic of pulling bait through the water behind your boat - meant to attract the fish and get them to bite.

I'm sorry. I admit I was wrong to settle there.

I actually clicked a link here on a thread about Baptists attacking a military funeral. And one rioter's sign read "GOD HATES EVERYONE BUT US". Well, theres proof there, and it was relatated to the fallen hero act too.

I am deeply saddened by the ideals of some people. One incident doesn't make a whole population zombie-like or anything else in that matter. Everyone has there individualism. Please don't let anybody tell you a whole population is the same!

Havvy, Moderation is not a general discussion forum. It's for discussing specific incidents and the rulings on those incidents.

If you aren't an active participant (and you're not here) and don't have something relevant to add, don't post at all.

It's like south park. It tries to offend everybody equally so that nobody feels offended.

I have more to say, though.

Ouch. I have to agree, but I think you're being pretty harsh.
