Now, if political themes are against the rules due to controversy, and religious themes are against the rules due to controversy, then why is a 13k Christian-based group perfectly intact, while a 93 member Ron Paul support group was essentially erased?
This scenario got me thinking- TheAmazeMan is more popular, which means maybe his Ron Paul group received more reports.
So, I'm doing an experiment to test the fairness of group moderation.
I've reported this group for religious topics, controversial subject matter, and adult themes: http://www.roblox.com/Groups/group.aspx?gid=29793
Seeing as the rules treat endorsement of political and religious themes as equally bad, shouldn't the punishment done to both groups be equal as well?
Does moderation truly treat each offence the same?
Or, SHOULD they treat each offense the same?
What do you think?
P.S. Also, if you'd like to help out and report the group as well, the link is above-remember, this is all done in the spirit of fairness!

The rule regarding Political and Religious themes is stated in rule to be an application to the forums, thus neither should have been deleted. HOWEVER, Ron Paul is a political canidate and a company endorising a political canidate is illegal, so ROBLOX may have deleted it to prevent any confusion on the matter considering the group was technicaly under their domain, where as a company endorsing a religion has no law against it especialy considering a religion is not a political nominee.
Hope this helps. |

@Archonis
Actually, I did some research on RT before posting this here.
I asked them whether there was a rule outside of the forums that applied to the situation, seeing as I am fully aware of that particular rule, but the two points of politics and religion are covered in the main site's rules as well.

@Disco,
Religious based groups abund on ROBLOX and have so for years, also a few moderators have been in some before in the past aswell.
So either it must applie souly to the forums, or the Admins choose to completely disregard this. Prehapce the main rules is instead reffering to debates between aposing opinions on Religion? |

I'm going to go with what Archonis said. It makes a lot more sense.
There are several religions, and denominations that have a group on ROBLOX, Christianity and Islam being the two I can name readily. In addition, there are groups that discuss politics, and related topics, like Reaven's "Libertarians" group. There is also CT's Athiest group, in contrast to the religious groups.
I would think that in light of the other groups that exist, it's not unfair moderation, or increased group reports (if that were so, it's likely most superclans would have been CD'ed by now), but rather other reasons, like a description that violated the ToS, or simply a desire to distance themselves from such a position.
Of course, that's just one way to consider it. |

Possibly, Arch, yes... but just the Christian group being there is an insult to other religious groups within itself, just as the Ron Paul group is an insult to any other (*ahem* inferior *ahem*) political figure related groups.

| I do ask why the existence of Christian faith based societies on ROBLOX constitues injury to the honour of other Religious groups. And if what you say is true, who is to say that the existence of other religious organizations on ROBLOX that are non-christian does not also constitute insult towards Christian based group? |

Islamic group, roughly 500 members: http://www.roblox.com/Groups/group.aspx?gid=71598
Hindu group, around 50 members: http://www.roblox.com/Groups/group.aspx?gid=184030
Reaven's Libertarian group, unknown amount: http://www.roblox.com/Groups/group.aspx?gid=49354
Democrats, 121+ members: http://www.roblox.com/Groups/group.aspx?gid=204
Republicans, around 486 members: http://www.roblox.com/Groups/group.aspx?gid=13468
Certainly, there are more than those listed, but it should help explain my position a bit more. |

@Arch
True, true. I never said the other religious groups were not offensive, but I find it notable that Christian groups are much larger, and I felt as if groups with such a large member count (13k) should have been noticed long before a group with less than 100 members.
Also, this group is simply a test subject for the sake of experimentation- I feel as if the moderator's would care less about deleting the content from a small religious group, rather than one of this magnitude, which is why I chose this one specifically.
