His behaviour and way to adresss other people got him banned. I wont go into detail, as he is not here to defend himself. The last thing Islam needs are more selfrightious mullahs. Nomatter if it is Quran alone or not.
A typical rant by a clear cut Satan follower
But hey don't you ever dare and call me a Mullah , try to find one then shove it somewhere

So I'll ask you this question, Ahmed, can you ever be wrong?
Bloody many times, you can ask anne '???????????My wife'???? even when I'm right, I'm wrong in her eyes, LOL
Anyway if you mean religions only of course Ii was wrong many times, in fact sister Samia and brother Anwar got me red handed twice
What you will find straight forward in me is simply I will quickly concede that I made a mistake, this is what is tough to do with most and many of that most don't really do it even if they know in their heart that they were wrong, now with me I have no shame, I will concede my mistakes but you need to find them first then prove it

Sorry guys this is a comment by someone I accused of double standards, just to show the confusion of FM:
it is from a thread called "The non-muslims of the forum" by brother JM
Danish was angry that he was mocked by a muslim named "Al Khidr", i guess "Al Khidr" is banned now, LOL, and as you all know that Mocking Allah, His prophets, His Quran and all Muslims is allowed on FM by the Kafiroon like Danish, Magi and Enquirer but mocking the Kafiroon in response is a crime, the web master of FM responded like this:
The webmaster of FM said:
Peace Danish,
I would respond to the people you have quoted with the following reminder:
`O you who believe, let not a people ridicule other people, for they may be better than they. Nor shall any women ridicule other women, for they may be better than they. Nor shall you mock one another, or call each other names. Evil indeed is the reversion to wickedness after attaining faith. And anyone who does not repent, then these are the transgressors.` (49:11)
Ahmed says:
hahahahahahaha, bloody say it to those who mock the Muslims mister Muslim webmaster before you jump the gun and bloody ban the Muslims in favour of the Kafiroon
let me say this again to you man, YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO ALL MUSLIMS, may Allah guide you to the right path
Salam

Salam Sister Nadia
I manged to stop that scrolling for you mate, i searched the net for 3 hours and could not find an answer, then raised a question on a bonusnuke forum and could not wait for an answer so I went and checked hundeds of file with code that I hardly understand but being a VB programmar I manged to logically allocate it in a file called viewtopic_body.tpl, i was logically searching for the avatar thinking that it ust be under it, and when I found the word marquee it was bingo, but i was worried to just delete the action without testing it, so I found in the code the word up, changed to down and it scrolled down, that was another bingo, so i removed the line confidently and received the third bingo
enjoy mate, it looks much better indeed, thanks for the feed back, you made me learn a new thing indeed
Salam

Peace bro Ahmed,
Np at all. I appreciate you taking the time to fix things like this.
I would like to add in response to the posts made about Layth on this thread, since he isn't here to defend himself:
Danish and enquirer have both been banned as well for their derogatory comments. Sometimes it takes time and some patience for them to cross the line irrevocably but it does happen. It might feel unjustified to us but it is across the board in the big picture. Danish was singing our praises one day and then when he got banned, he sent emails that show a different story.
I appreciate the fact that you say what you think and are honest about it, it might not be appropriate in some places the way you choose to convey it BUT there isn't any waffling or hypocrisy that I see from your end which has to be respected.
I wouldn't mind seeing some epic debates with Danish and enquirer on this forum but tbh, I doubt they can debate with any pretense of logic for it to be worth my time.

This makes it clearer that they were kept to distract Ahmed's attention because Layth couldnt stand critisim to his articles. Come on! Sister, its appearant that you folks ignored the complaints and kept your eyes close towards their behaviour and whenever bro Ahmed took stand he was warned/banned.

They were kept for a purpose ie to make Ahmed go and when he left, they were kicked. LOL! this is what bro Ahmed call tryant policy.

Here I agree with you in last couple of months on times bro Ahmed attitute wasnt appropriate BUT whos fault is it? I would say hypocritic attitute of fm. Number of times mquran complained and pointed the famous rule 2 of fm, who listened? many more examples but lets not agrue.

So nice of you to say this, but sorry I never saw these kinda comments on fm from you.
Let me tell you, that there will be on admin/mod might abuse here on FI. Bro Ahmed and myself had loads of discussions on how FI mods will react and have a pretty good plan about it, its a matter of time and inshallah you will see FI one of the fairest islamic forum for muslims of all walks.
A very happy Eid to you and to your family!

I'm not sure what you mean by henna on his hands but let me clarify what I meant. I meant that since he is not here (for whatever reason) I would like to clarify statements made about him with what I know. He isn't very active on FM either and has difficulty logging in at times.

This is not true. They have both been warned and banned previously as well and slunk away without telling anyone, that is why it never came to light to the general members.

I see. You're welcome to your opinion but it is not true from what I know.

Two wrongs do not make a right as I'm sure you are aware. Mq and I are in regular contact and he knows what happened with rule 2, when it was put and how it was utilised. Sometimes it takes time, especially with insidious people, who know how the system works and use that to slip under the cracks.

I find this 'kinda' insulting. I have made many posts on FM, some of them were posting about these characters and how I despised their behaviour. I can give you examples if you wish, no one likes being called hypocritical. Sadly, when I was being taken to task for these comments and my actions I was called biased by the very same characters and no one there did stand up for it at the time except the mods themselves. It's all about perspective I suppose, one judges with what they see, sometimes they don't see the complete picture.

I see it more than an unjustifiable minor act, i see it as a crime against the Muslims who already are divided and confused because of the many who hijacked the religion, now we don't want some ignorant or arrogant to come and disturb a group of Muslims studying the Quran and trying hard to resolve that division and confusion that exist for decades, they can come and raise their concerns once and for all, if refuted, fair enough and if not refuted, also fair enough, but for them to keep repeating unfounded illusions, it will sure serve its purpose which is confusing the Muslims further and this act is actually blessed by FM webmaster as far I have seen for almost a year

A word "tough or Kind" to stop a perpetrator is quite enough as far as I can see it from a webmaster point of view, banning is tyrancy and an act of cowardice, look at what happened to that young man who got into trouble with Mquran '???????????¬I forgot his name, straight away he was banned for life, then sister peacefulmuslim tried hard to overturn the banning then no one listened , only they locked the thread and insisted on the life sentence given to him, another cowardly act,

one of the basics of my life is very simple rule, which is being straight forward with ALL PEOPLE, and that is how i made myself to be and I believe I will stay as is for the rest of my life seeing how many tried to change me and I could not, it removes a lot of pressure of my daily dose of pressure indeed, i don't need to think hard before I talk, it is all spontaneous and I'm aware of that and I like it, sure this may make me commit mistakes but who does not commit mistakes, what i hardly see is those who admit their mistakes and move forward for the better, if I talk differently to the dearest people to me then I'm biased, but believe me i talk even tougher to those dearest to me because I know well that they know they are dear to me

Take care sister and happy Eid

The running problems in all your quotes above are twofold brother. You say you don't want them banned YET you want them to comply. This is a contradiction in cases where someone does NOT want to comply. How will you make them? What if their arguments have been refuted time and time again and YET they keep at it which is what everyone is so pissed off at, as ruining the atmosphere and confusing new members? You can't have it both ways. There is no magic bullet to make people comply virtually. What we do after seeing that they are not interested in listening, is ban them after they have received ample warning (during which members start getting pissed that nothing is happening and they want them gone but they don't want to be the ones that do it, so someone has to step up to the plate).
Arguing with these types, serves NO purpose because they aren't interested in learning from your point of view, they are trolling for validation. That's it. If you want to take them on, eventually it regresses into a downward spiral of personal attacks, comments and rudeness which I despise. There is nothing constructive about that.
Mq talked about getting them to comply or be banned but this is not what you are saying, you don't want them banned. I agree with him, if they don't comply with the rules they get banned. Simply put. Sometimes it takes time, sometimes it's instantaneous in the past. The rules were revised to make it consistent since some time now. The young guy that PM was talking about had a sordid history that I became aware of which I can't talk about in public. It was justified that he got banned, I wouldn't want someone like that around either.
If you're going to go by the whims of the majority, it's up to you. I don't find that very practical and fair in practice because the members usually have an axe to grind against someone they have debated with and 'lost' or just don't like because of any given reason. How is that different from mods? They have a responsibility to show that those that they are kicking out have broken the rules multiple times during a particular time period and get other mods to look at it and to agree, otherwise it can't be done. The admin doesn't make that decision in FM, the mods do and then the admin checks to see if it is approved by different mods and they go through the process. That is why you can't personally have an axe to grind with someone and kick them out as you have to prove it.
Let's say you don't have many well defined rules here, then what will ensue is subjectivity to a greater degree when making a call as to whom you want out. This means that because I don't like someone's pov and 'cause I think they're childish I can vote them out if enough people agree with me which I can make sure happen if I'm on good enough terms with them. It's a popularity contest then as opposed to a fair judgement call on evidence.
Let's say they would vote for a ban for a troublesome member, you say you don't want a lengthy one so the time would be a week? They will be back and there will still be dissatisfaction and the same problems once again, until the members again sit down and decide, okay another week then, during which time those that don't like the atmosphere will leave as happened on FM and as happens on other boards where the mudslinging and general chaos doesn't suit some types.
Don't get me wrong, I wish all the best for the board but I dislike participating in atmospheres where flaming/chaos is rampant and abusive comments are directed to people in the meanwhile and where those that perpetrate such behaviour are not kicked out for good. Where I woud find a popularity contest deciding who stays and goes. You will find however that banning is suited for the majority of boards where people want smooth and efficient running. It is not 'unconstitutional' in the least because your forum is your domain where you have people who sign an agreement with you before they participate. I participate on many boards comprising of different genre's and banning is something preferred for obvious reasons.
Forgot to add, since i clicked the post button instead of preview, eid mubarak to you as well.

I wish it was VB sister, it is PHP and I absolutely have no knowledge in that department, the language looks simple after investigating its syntax but it will still take me at least 6 months to a year to master that language, what is motivating me to master it is simply this, part of what I do is design LAN applications, all MS SQL driven and almost now days all my clients require WAN connectivity to their LAN applications and this is hard to do unless you have a very fast WAN connection, like 10 MB/S at least , so I have to resort to further infrastructure and cost by implementing Windows 2003 Terminal server, and yet it is not as fast but it is very centralised in regards to management and this is a huge bonus on its own, if I master PHP then I can build all my lan applications using it due to the fact that php is designed with database connectivity in mind and as its heart, so running the php applications over a wan connection will be exactly like running this site, i.e. no need for any extra infrastructure and yet can be centrally managed through one web server sitting on the LAN, I hope I can do this actually, I looked at ebay for books and there are plenty so I have another challenge in hand, I already joined a few php communities but the one I'm using "BonusNuke" is new and hardly any support for it '???????????¬for the tough issues and many bugs i mean, sorry to bore you
Atreides wrote:

LOL, thank you sister, I know you are a tough debater too
Atreides wrote:
You say you don't want them banned YET you want them to comply.
of course this can be done, because the webmaster always have some sort of respect by all members who don't know him/her, a decent word with them can make a huge difference and if it does not work then a tough word, even me when John '???????????¬the web master of LU asked me to slow down I always listened to him, I always carried respect to him as well as I did for the webmaster of FM, this is mutual in the world of forums it seems, on both web sites, malice campaigns ran by some whatever members wanting to ban me, on LU the non Muslim webmaster never listened to them, even confronted them, the Muslim webmaster however listened to them despite I was attacking a non Muslim who you know very well, who has just one agenda, so what I meant that I will never listen to those behind the back PMs stirring me on anyone Muslim or not trying to ban him, possibly one rule that may exist on FI that there will be no banning, other punishment can be enforced, like no pm or non ability to post for a period or no signature or not been able to play in the arcade, I went through the mods available for phpBB forums and wow there are zillions, a good strategy and some time are needed to come up with a decent plan to run public boards, and if a group make it together it is far better and fairer than a single tyrant in place, , depends on what the site offers of course, but I don't think after a webmaster have a word with any reasonable person that he/she will insist in what is considered wrong on that board
also the circumstances associated with a heated problem must be considered, because the human was created WEAK as Allah told us, so Allah knows well that we may get angry when injustice is done to us, therefore He excused us from uttering hurtful speech in public if injustice has occurred to anyone as we read in sura 4
If Allah excuses us when we utter hurtful speech in public if injustice is applied why a Muslim webmaster don't follow that guidance then?
I will agree with you that a tough stand must be taken against those who go mad for nothing, but those who go mad for a genuine cause should be forgiven as far as I believe,after their reasons are looked at of course, now I have good reason to feel the injustice applied in public by those degrading my religion and its book constantly, assuming I went mad while the fact is FM never saw me mad LOL, but assuming that was the case, did I doit from nothing?, believe it or not sister, I don't even hate those 3 members of the Kafiroon gang magi, enquirer though I hardly carry no respect to these two, & Danish and a bit of respect for that one, but if the want to play the religious game, why not, let's play, and I will be delighted that they come and play with me here, believe me sister, it will run differently to FM or any other religious site, LOL
magi This is a contradiction in cases where someone does NOT want to comply.[/quote]
well sister Nadia, FI won't have pages of rules to comply with, it will be a few sets of rules created by the community itself, not me, currently I consider that there are no rules in place, but as time goes, rules will be built in place that will be fair to them as it must be fair to the Muslims on this Islamic web site, they can be members and play games all day long, I'm also planning to add some other non religious forums, like My garage forum which is a modification to the phpBB interface that I'm looking at currently, and many other ideas, so there will be many things for them to do here without constantly offending the Muslims if they prefer to be near them all the times, and if they do and insist on non sense I will have many words as a webmaster with them or anyone for that matter, I will treat them as members of a family and I won't make them feel alienated, this is the duty of a webmaster, not to be a control freak as I have seen on free-minds and WhyIslam.org, then when everything is under control, it will be left for the community to run it, the rules should include actions against clear cut trouble makers and confusers but not banning

when their repetitive non sense is removed to a forum that they have no access to it, I guess it will piss them off and they will refrain, but they will not be banned

Not really because I don't want to take them on, it is them who want to take on the Muslim, and I welcome them, I will give them the benefit of the doubt that they want to learn what they don't know, and time will expose their true colors, then decisions should be taken that serve one purpose only which is to annoy them as members, I found this very effective indeed

no this is not what I'm saying, I only meant the complying part, the action taken if they don't should be according to a set of rules created by the community which I don't know yet on FI, I will actually be all ears to everyone including them, the objective of FI is clear and inshaallah must be fulfilled, FI is here to respond to any misconception or misunderstanding about the Arabic Quran, FI will not be a base of inventing new doctrines, we will only look at what people say about our religion and we will only use the Quran to respond to them, if this place stayed online for five years for example God's willing, I'm hoping it will have a reply for every conception or misunderstanding, it will be organised in a way that any Muslim can browse for with ease, as time goes by and I gain experience and study the available technologies I will inform the community and they should direct me in what to do after explaining any prospect of anything to change in here
Atreides wrote:
I agree with him, if they don't comply with the rules they get banned.
I don't now yet, but if FI community see that this is what should happen, I have to listen to them, however my vote will always go to not banning
Atreides wrote:
Simply put. Sometimes it takes time, sometimes it's instantaneous in the past. The rules were revised to make it consistent since some time now. The young guy that PM was talking about had a sordid history that I became aware of which I can't talk about in public. It was justified that he got banned, I wouldn't want someone like that around either.
ok, sorry if there was any misunderstanding on my side, however if you mean that this guy is mentally ill, then someone who suggest that Mohammed never exits is also mentally ill in my eyes. He has to be, after 1400 years of evidences that he can't see

If you're going to go by the whims of the majority, it's up to you.
no no, there will be nothing up to me in here, I only want to concentrate on my Quran comments, I have no time indeed to mock around, I want a few honest and well respected moderators to take it of me after everything is set with the help of Allah, also the majority concept is the most logical to implement and decide upon however I'm open for any ideas, I'm even open to invent our new system of moderation and punishment, sort of a point system like the driver licence points, we can do what we want, we are the ones who create the rules, so it will be always relative between us that is why the majority is the most easiest way to go for
Atreides wrote:
I don't find that very practical and fair in practice because the members usually have an axe to grind against someone they have debated with and 'lost' or just don't like because of any given reason.
well, I may agree with you, but that is something to the individuals to look at, I'm fully aware of it, but with responsibility in hand on FI, I have to be very careful indeed, I hate to be biased but I know it is quite possible to be as a human being
Atreides wrote:
They would vote for a ban, you say you don't want a lengthy one so the time would be a week let's say? They will be back and there will still be dissatisfaction and the same problems once again, until the members sit down and decide, okay another week then during which time those that don't like the atmosphere will leave as happened on FM and as happens on other boards where the mudslinging and general chaos doesn't suit some types.
I guess pissing them off will be a much better option, like a restriction on the words per comment and many other sort of hacks and tricks and I hope by time I gain the experience and create my own hacks, I really feel banning will not solve anything other than creating a permanent hate for life
Atreides wrote:
Don't get me wrong, I wish all the best for the board but I dislike participating in atmospheres where flaming is rampant and abusive comments are directed to people and where those that perpetrate such behaviour are not kicked out for good.
No no, I appreciate this dialogue with you, because truly you earned my respect as a moderator, despite I accused you once of being biased but I accepted your explanation, so my dialogue with you is guiding me to what to do here as I would like to listen to many others and I have to listen to you, I agree with you that continues flaming puts other members down and take the spirit out of the board, and this is not going to happen and the community should find ways to tackle it, however we must consider the circumstances associated with every incident because those who felt injustice must be excused if the injustice is proved
Atreides wrote:
You will find however that banning is suited for the majority of boards where people want smooth and efficient running.
Not really because they can always come back under different names and if the IP address is banned then a public proxy IP address will come very handy and there are hundreds of public proxies that can be used by those banned to come back again and again, it will be a cat and mouse game and will result in more hate
Atreides wrote:
It is not 'unconstitutional' in the least because your forum is your domain where you have people who sign an agreement with you before they participate. I participate on many boards comprising of different genre's and banning is something preferred for obvious reasons.
Banning is possibly preferred because that is the human nature, they like feeling the power and using it on their fellow human beings, this is simply why, and banning is the toughest punishment of the forum world, it is the capital punishment of the forums and I'm against that because on forums there should be no capital punishment, but don't get me wrong, if the community here prefer the banning then they will have it, I will only have a mere single vote not to have it

Peace bro,

I wish it was VB sister, it is PHP and I absolutely have no knowledge in that department, the language looks simple after investigating its syntax but it will still take me at least 6 months to a year to master that language, what is motivating me to master it is simply this, part of what I do is design LAN applications, all MS SQL driven and almost now days all my clients require WAN connectivity to their LAN applications and this is hard to do unless you have a very fast WAN connection, like 10 MB/S at least , so I have to resort to further infrastructure and cost by implementing Windows 2003 Terminal server, and yet it is not as fast but it is very centralised in regards to management and this is a huge bonus on its own, if I master PHP then I can build all my lan applications using it due to the fact that php is designed with database connectivity in mind and as its heart, so running the php applications over a wan connection will be exactly like running this site, i.e. no need for any extra infrastructure and yet can be centrally managed through one web server sitting on the LAN, I hope I can do this actually, I looked at ebay for books and there are plenty so I have another challenge in hand, I already joined a few php communities but the one I'm using "BonusNuke" is new and hardly any support for it “for the tough issues and many bugs i mean”, sorry to bore you
No you didn't bore me at all, I like reading technical stuff right before I go to bed. Best sleep ever!
More to the point though, why did you choose the BonusNuke over the others? Any reason comparatively? Oh and is there a way we can increase the size of the window in which we type before posting? It's way too small. I think that would be doable if you just look at the way it's set up, the parameters and all.
This post is way to long for me to respond to briefly and I don't want to highlight my cynicism too much either, let's just say if you ever need any help, please don't hesitate to ask. I want to see this board take off and of course the epic debates

of course I compared a few popular ones, some are still running on my web server for development and testing purposes only, BN is a great piece of software, I like how it is so centeralized and dynamic, many changes including pages layout can be changed through the control panel, no need for coding whatsoever, and I'm sure it will keep evolving, in fact the expert who is helping me "Martyn" from bonusnuke.com had a look at free-islam today and he liked the movie Jahannam, he will join us soon and he also offered his help to devlope free-islam.com further
Inshaallah free-islam will have a huge variety of members that all will get on well together

Sure I will look at this soon inshallah, there is actually a module under Admin panel to add "To do list" which should help the site admins to remember the things needed to be done, soon inshallah many will be promoted to moderator status to help me out

Thank you sister, my reply was just expressing my opinion, i was not debating anything, so please don't get me wrong and thanks for your offer of help, there is no doubt that i will need every help I can from those sincere ones who want free-islam to evolve into something useful to all Msulims and non Muslims
