I don't see how it can be a board for "religious faith" as it states without allowing discussion about the aspects of a person's religion. Perhaps it had better be the "faith board", with a disclaimer that no one is allowed to post their religious beliefs unless those beliefs are that there are many ways to heaven, or nirvana, etc., and that everyone is O.K. The sort of "I'm O.K., you're O.K. way of thinking"?
No hellfire or damnation allowed. Sounds very boring to me, but I suppose there's no way that could be unsupportive, except for those who believe differently. But then they don't have to read the posts...
The definition posted for "faith" on the board is actually for "religion": the service and worship of God or the supernatural.
Faith is "something that is believed especially with strong conviction; especially : a system of religious beliefs" as I posted earlier.
So, a Faith Board would be about faith in anything (faith in a tree), not just religious faith which is what Dr. Bob seems to have trouble with. Or the board may have to be canned. But then certain discussions are just going to pop back up on social.
It's really true - the best thing to do is just not respond to threads members want to go away, but without everyone doing that, it doesn't work. And here I am back again adding to it... :(
