Talking about who is trustworthy
I only saw Henu posting without approval, No problem with Henu or with his posts, I just wanted to know why someone can and others don't, that was all
Now let me brief you what I found out about two of these trusted members
Two days ago I got an email from a brother and I was told that there is another member off mod and that one is a drug user and former friend of Magesson this one use to call Mageson ... "Magy babe"
I think you know who I'm talking about
Today I discovered another off mod member, this one is a pathological liar
So if these are the "off mod" trusted members then no thanks
I don't fulfill the requirements
No offense if you are off mod, just trying to make a point about Trustworthy Criteria.
I meant trustworthy for posting in the forums, nothing about their personal lives.

Arguments have their time and place. That’s my belief. They can help to develop realisations and ideas (when the insults and slander are cut out from them), or help to make it obvious when something is wrong. They can form bonds between members, and aid in helping one to discover more about themselves and others.
Sometimes being able to bounce arguments and ideas to other members here helps to flesh them out and work out the kinks, especially where one doesn’t have any Satanic partners or family at home to do so before presenting those arguments here.
However, the back and forth nonsense is just that. Nonsense and drama. So I agree with your points in that regard.
I was talking specifically about excessive arguing such as in one of the vaccine threads where one member keeps insulting others, as an example. Disagreements are perfectly natural and can be quite helpful as you pointed out.
Apparently my communication skills are at a low these days. I will make sure to clarify thoroughly before posting in the future.

Being a mod or HP is solely a popularity contest and usually the most popular people are the ones that post lots of helpful responses so it is a feedback loop.
This isn't high school. Being able to help other members is a sacred role for Satanism. Being clergy is a specific role that only certain people are suited for, it has nothing to do with popularity or number of posts. Think of it as a job like any other, most people are not suited for it, and those who are do the work involved with it, such as posting a lot as it is required of them. For example, a janitor cleans, not to be popular, but because it is simply their job requirement. Clergy = public servant.
As for moderators being popular, nobody knows who they are, so they might in fact be people who are not even known in the forums.
