I am a member of the [[Church_of_Jesus_Christ_of_Latter-day_Saints|Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] and I am a [[Christian]]. See [[User:Crocoite/Religion|Religion: What Do I Believe?]] for further details.

I have made over 6,000 edits to Conservapedia. See [[User:Crocoite/Contributions|My Contributions to Conservapedia]] for examples.
+
I have been thinking about this and praying, and I have to conclude that for the time being I morally cannot bring myself to participate in a project that brands a confessing Christian as a non-Christian.  
   −
I am a major contributor to the '''In the news''' section of the Main page. I search many internet sites for news from a [[conservative]], [[Christian]] perspective. See [[User:Crocoite/In the news|In the news]] for examples.

<blockquote> "I don’t begrudge people who feel the need to find some terminology to
 +
demarcate themselves from Mormons. How about calling themselves “non-  
 +
Mormons”, rather than making up a name for Mormons—“non-Christian”–
 +
which Mormons don’t agree with and don’t want to wear?
   −
==Message to Conservapedia editors==
+
Insisting on applying that term to Mormons is like someone coming up
−
As long as you are here to make POSITIVE contributions to Conservapedia, you will find me easy to get along with. We're building an encyclopedia here and we need your help.
+
and slapping a sticker on my back that says “Stupid”. They are well
 +
aware that, without specific explanation, it is understood by many
 +
people to mean that Mormons do not believe that Jesus of Nazareth is
 +
the Son of God, the resurrected Savior of the world. Knowing this,
 +
people who use the term, without caveats to specify that it does not
 +
mean what it sounds like, are creating a false understanding about
 +
Mormons, and are therefore bearing false witness against their LDS
 +
neighbors.  
   −
Don't just complain on the talk pages. You're an editor... make the changes (if the article is not protected)
+
Since they know that Mormons don’t like the label, people who use it
 +
are intentionally giving offense. How Christian is it to do that?
 +
Didn’t Jesus say something about people who call their brother “a
 +
fool” being in danger of hell fire? " </blockquote>
   −
(''see below for clarification'').  
+
I will now come out and say that any of you posting on Conservapedia
 +
that Mormons or Catholics are not Christians are being unchristian
 +
yourself and are denigrating me and my faith.

===These Deletions are Good===
+
Until I see specific actions that lead me to believe otherwise, I will not participate in this project.
−
*Deleting [[parody]]
  −
:NOTE - [[Liberal]]s, this does not mean you call something you disagree with a parody, and then delete it. If I see you do this, the edit will be reverted and you will be blocked.
  −
*Deleting [[vandalism]]
  −
 
  −
===Troublemakers===
  −
I have been editing on Conservapedia over a year, and I've seen my share of vandals and troublemakers. I want to be very clear on how I deal with negative behavior.
  −
 
  −
*Don't make [[liberal]] edits to this encyclopedia. This is a [[conservative]], [[Christian]] [[encyclopedia]]. Your liberal edits will be reverted and you will be blocked.
  −
 
  −
*Don't try and enforce rules on other editors. If I see you bullying other editors and causing trouble, you will be blocked.
  −
 
  −
*<u>I don't like fact tags.</u> If you see something that is not sourced, go find a reference yourself. If you have made a reasonable effort to find a source and were unsuccessful, mention that in the article's talk page. We're building an encyclopedia here, not just adding fact tags and creating work for others.
  −
 
  −
===These Deletions are Wrong===
  −
*Deleting edits ''you don't agree with''. This is a [[conservative]], [[Christian]] [[encyclopedia]]. You <u>don't</u> get to delete edits that you don't agree with (with or without fact tags). If I see you do this, the edit will be reverted and you will be blocked.

==Message to all [[liberal]]s / [[progressive]]s ==
  −
I tolerate liberals on Conservapedia because they give us good examples of how liberals act. ''Sometimes'' they even make positive contributions to Conservapedia.
  −
I have liberal friends outside of Conservapedia and ''usually'' we can "agree to disagree".
  −
 
  −
''If you're <u>not</u> a troublemaker, then the rest of this section doesn't apply to you.''
  −
 
  −
<blockquote><u>If you're here to cause trouble or whine about the liberal articles, you should read the rest of this section.</u></blockquote>
  −
*'''Vandals'''
  −
:'''I have NO tolerance for vandals to Conservapedia.''' You will get <u>no</u> warning before I ban you.
  −
:*The standard definition of [[vandalism]] applies on Conservapedia.
  −
:*Anti-American edits are not allowed in Conservapedia. This is NOT an NPOV site. CP is pro-American, pro-conservative and pro-Christian. Inserting Anti-American edits is considered vandalism.
  −
:*Never revert the actions of an [[administrator]]. The proper course is to ask the admin to explain his reversion - not reverting it. Reverting an admin's changes is considered vandalism.
  −
 
  −
*'''Usernames'''
  −
:You will be banned if I see a username that is not appropriate. Use your first name and last initial.
  −
*'''Troublemakers / Whiners / MYOB'''
  −
:You knew when you signed up to edit on Conservapedia that this is a conservative, Christian encyclopedia. Don't come here trying to enforce rules, deleting stuff you don't like, picking fights with editors / administrators, whining on the talk pages, etc. If I determine you're here to cause trouble and / or whine, you will be blocked.
  −
 
  −
:Of course, MYOB means "Mind Your Own Business".
  −
:*If you see another editor get banned and you rush to their defense - You will receive a 1 day ban if I ban another user and you "tattle" to another sysop or post your tattle to other talk pages.
  −
:*If you're <u>not</u> an administrator and you warn other editors about being blocked - You will receive a 3 day ban for being a troublemaker.
  −
 
  −
:After you return from your block, you should concern yourself with improving Conservapedia or your next block will be longer.
  −
*[[Conservapedia:Deletion Policy]]
  −
:<u>The Administrators are the final authority for deciding what should and should not be deleted on CP.</u>  Some articles will NOT be deleted - no matter what your liberal heart desires. If you add the <nowiki>{{Delete Notice}}</nowiki>, your edit will be reverted. If you revert my edit, you will be blocked.
  −
*'''Conservative Bias?'''
  −
:''Do you realize that '''Conservapedia''' is a [[conservative]] website?'' Do you have [[Conservaphobia]]? You should not be surprised to see a conservative analysis here. We are <u>not</u> going to have a NPOV. As a [[conservative]], I am happy Conservapedia exists as an alternative to [[Wikipedia]]. I ''prefer'' a [[conservative bias]].
