public log
protestant bent as it serves as a sanctuary from catholic /christian/, but not to the level of a "hugbox" or "echo chamber"

Those will end after Easter, leaving /christ/ pretty much dead. As far as I can tell, the only censorship on /christ/ is concerning racism (board rule 5).
/christ/ also hosts a page for Psalms
https://8ch.net/christ/psalms.html
That's pretty nice of them.
AFAIK, the current BO of /christ/ is a Free Methodist (Login name "LoveJesus" according to the log) that kicked off the Gnostics and Deists - even removing the flags - and rebranded the board as a Church.

You want to know what's funny? I'm the infamous "1c98e6" from the meta thread, who is supposed to be some massive "mod apologist", but even I'm permabanned. I appealed, but was rejected and I'm banned from the Discord, so I can't have that ban lifted until the natural lift at 60 days by the site itself.
On a long enough timeline, literally everyone will be permabanned from /christian/.

They, and the majority of /christian/ in general, strike me more as SSPX types. If you're unaware, SSPX are to Catholicism what what Anderson and Jack Chic are to Protestantism. They look at Protestants the way the Bantu people look at White South Africans. Take a look at this thread for example >>>/christian/793827 They are seriously lamenting Gustavus Adolphus' prevention of a Protestant genocide in Germany.

Just look at that first post and the sharp contrast with the current moderation. Yet tutor and his lackeys continue to claim to be oldfags while probably not even knowing who Alex was.
I started using /christian/ in early 2016, and before I give my testimony off the top of my head, you should avail yourself of the invaluable historical record that is the /christ/ meta thread. /christ/ was always the alternative to /christian/ and consequently the place to bitch about /christian/. You can still see the old posts going all the way back to before I showed up in that thread.
Anyways, when I arrived there was an announcement on the board, dated to either 2014 or 2015 (I forget which) that declared that flags were going to be off for a week or so to check things out (or something). This was the last Alex would be heard from until 2016. Until that time, while /christian/ lacked a BO, it was still being moderated and effectively run by an individual most commonly known as cuckvol. You can see his last known posts on 8chan in the /christ/ meta thread, mostly made shortly after Peter ousted the board from him, but I think there some from before then too. He should be the one with the SSPX flag. Under his watch, /christian/ remained a stalwart of imageboard culture, one could call someone a niggerfaggot without fear of being banned for mean words. At some point before I showed up, he banned a Seventh Day Adventist for "judaizing", this is the first known instance of somebody being banned for their beliefs, and censorship escalated from there. The early high profile censorships would make up the founding core of /christ/ for years. At the time, people felt cuckvol was a tyrant that just banned anything Protestant. We had no idea how good we had it. Despite aggressively combating Romanism, I only received one ban under him, and it only lasted anywhere from a day to a week. A few months after my arrival there was a new announcement on the board announcing the return of Alex. Ironically, this was the last we ever heard of him. Then, a few months later, the board suddenly had a new owner. Peter announced his arrival with a sticky, and his claiming of the board was strange to say the least (at the time 8chan automatically posted a stickie on a board with an absentee owner announcing the board was available to be claimed, this thread never posted on /christian/). Cuckvol was as sidelined as the rest of us, he immediately showed confusion and protest at his arrival. I think he suspected site administration of being involved. Instead of answer cuckvol's questions, Peter chose to remove him as a vol and permaban him after a short back and forth. This was the beginning of the end, and under Peter I would receive my first /christian/ permaban for criticizing Rome. The board's current problem started with Peter, and everyone since has just been the same thing but increasingly worse. There's alot more history to the board than moderation (like when we first found the Anderson "bible is God" video, damn that thread was fun, as were the other early Andersonite vs. Romanist threads) but that's what sticks out most, of course.

I'm not sure if anyone even knows who I am (not that it matters) because I only posted occasionally, but I was a Korean who often replied to people asking about Korean Christianity and other related subjects. I do remember cuckvol and remember Alex as being an absentee mod… and the flags being available at some point, and at one point it was removed for a while until it came back. I noticed something very strange along the years that there was a huge Catholic bias that seemed to have been growing, even on their Discord server where I looked at. I definitely did not feel like I belonged there and after at least a year hiatus from this boards, I return to see the blatant Catholic bias even more apparent, with no one doing anything about it, people saying "all Protestants should be dead" or something (I'll try finding the thread later), with the guy saying "I'm glad the BO is on our side". I thought such incendiary comments would be more banworthy than the things I've come across here, so I was surprised, to say the very least.

What /christian/ is however is hypocritical, as both this thread and the /christian/ bans thread show there really isn't much 'Christian Discussion' going on over there, just Catholics going on about 'those damn heretics', which would be perfectly fine if you could actually debate them but the Papist mods will delete any post or thread that actually rebuke Catholic claims or teachings.

yeah as as Catholic I have to admit that we were the ones who ruined /christian/
The board is a strict trad Catholic board now.
I think it started when Alex was still B.O. he got this Catholic mod from South America who started getting rid of a lot of protestant and other posters.
I didn't really notice until that one mormon and northern baptist started complaining about it. That when the big schisms happened.
When Alex was around there was a lot of heresy, gnostics etc, but ther was also freedom to discuss ideas - espicially in the context of debates, you could have interdenominational arguements and actually argue without worrying about one or the other side getting modded away.
People there no actually talk according to moderation trying to get others to say something that gets modded away - which is what happens to forums that are overmoderated.
Then again, we never really had an alternative like we do now, so that's a good thing

>Alex is the owner. He's a Southern Baptist
How ironic
On the side note, looking at the board history, it shows that Catholics there are literal cancer that slowly spread and devour the organism. You can't have anything there without Catholics twisting and ruining it. There was some German agnostic guy who opened a thread that he was interested in Orthodoxy and asked on which parish was better and how should he behave and what to expect when visiting the church and being introduced to Orthodoxy. Thread instantly got bombarded with autistic LARPtholics screaming "MUH KEYYYYYYYYS!!!", "YOU ARE NOT SLAV YOU LARPER!!!" (Why do these morons forget that Greeks, Georgians and Romanians aren't Slavic either. >Inb4 "Slav rapebabies" ), "HERE, LET ME CITE SOME SCHOLASTIC AUTISM ABOUT WHY ROME!!!". And this thread is one of many, as well as LARPtholics opening threads, where they compare Orthodoxy to multiheaded monster mocking our autocephaly and calling Palamas a gnostic, forgetting that Eastern Catholics venerate him as a saint. Not to mention several specially """gifted""" mocking and ridiculing Orthodox doctrine of Theosis and our view about heaven and hell being states of soul. But you know what? These people don't get even warned, while Orthodox uttering a simple banter that even a stranger would recognize to be a joke will get permabanned as showed in a neighbouring thread.
One anon here stated correctly. This is a cult that managed to turn the board started by a literal Protestant aimed to be a discussion board between every Christian to a LARPtholic safe space where these bunch of Pharisees would boast about their """piety""" and such absurdities as praying on rosary ONLINE IN DISCORD.
On a related note, at first I had a serious bad feeling about Protestantism spreading in LatAm, but at this point I believe that Papist cult must be eradicated.

Well, that's your opinion (despite it being supported by several church fathers), while I think that materialised view on immaterial, SAndersonian view that hell is in center of the earth and Catholic teaching on purgatory and buying your way to reduce time there deserves mocking. But that wasn't my point and you simply nitpicked specific part form my statement.
Every denominations have their specific theories and characteristics, but the difference is that mocking Orthodox or Protestant ones there is halal, while mocking Catholic ones is a massive NoNo and will earn you permaban. This while Catholic made thread about Orthodox church organisation resembling several headed monster still stands.

Some say that the hell is underground and the heavens are beyond the observable universe. This is certainly a possibility but does it matter? What is suffering? A state. What is bliss? Also a state. And the important question is about the cause of the suffering of the souls in the hell. There are two answers:

My impression of Tutor is that he was too uptight and scrupulous. My discord server does not have the same issues with my background and generally serves as more of a hangout. Either way, I still wouldn't like slurs like papist being tossed around despite having relatively free speech because regardless of debate there has to be a form of harmony with the other denoms.

Well, considering that people of your denomination are one of the most arrogant, pharisaic and incomprehensibly pedantic and legaliatic that wants to dogmatize everything and regulate every single behaviour without leaving place for discretion, free will, free thought and free speech, and last but not least using slurs like "OrthoLARP" regularly, I don't think that you guys are the ones who should be complaining about this.

Yes but posting with one as your avatar is very effeminate and (to be a bit hyperbolic) the cyber equivalent of cross-dressing. When you use anime girl as your avatar, you are attempting to make us perceive you in a feminine way just like all the trannies do.
If you like cute girls so much go find one at your church.

Creator of /christian/ here. Every few months or year or so I look up what's happened to the board, and it's very cool that someone made this, it's pretty much what I've been looking for. I'm not active on any imageboard anymore, and found this thread from searching something very close to the thread subject. I think that maybe someone would find my perspective on this interesting. As a disclaimer, I won't be commenting on the "ethical" character of other board owners or mods or anything, basically because I never knew them aside from the two mods I originally put in place.
I started going on 4chan in 2009 when I was 13 (a friend on facebook who I never met posted funny photo albums and had things that referenced 4chan), and was on /b/, then /x/ and /lit/, /news/(if that's what it was called) and /pol/ once it was remade. My use of 4chan declined gradually over the years, but I was still looking at it everyday for quite some time. I actually became a Christian in January of 2014, from, in an Earthly sense, online material not from any imageboard (if anyone remembers the Christian threads on /pol/ Zimmerman trial era, those weren't what did it.)
I got to 8chan because of the pretty monumental gamergate drama, which I was honestly only passively interested in after a couple weeks, as I had hardly played video games by that point for at least a year or two (still never picked it back up), and could never keep up with the details of the whole thing. There was the "exodus", and I really liked the idea of 8chan, with all of the excitement of something new and all of the endless little boards that I spent a lot of time going on; small literary boards, writing, secret boards, ones made for small groups of people, etc. I was out of /pol/ in an ideological sense by September of 2014, and I think it's important to remember that 8chan didn't have anywhere near as much stigma as it does today. 8chan's /pol/ was pretty much straight up National Socialist if I recall correctly (and it had like 5 long stickies on the front page which I thought was funny), but otherwise the website was defined by gamergate and free speech. Within a few days of me learning about 8chan, I decided to make /christian/ by myself, without a ton of thought, but I hoped that it would grow. I thought that it probably wouldn't go anywhere, since I had no idea what the "shelf life" of 8chan would be, and I imagine that I expected either the board to languish in obscurity or the website would fizzle out altogether. Nobody else was involved, and I didn't post with a name on 4chan since I was like 14-15 (and wasn't notable anyway), so I sincerely doubt anyone knows anything about me prior to the board.

I was active on a lot of boards anonymously, mostly small ones, and stayed away from /pol/ and the gamergate stuff. Other than a few scattered posts on long dead boards, I think you could see my posts as Alex. on the 8chan meta from 2014-to maybe early 2016. I was primarily concerned with keeping the board clean from pornography and gore and very blatant trolling, and since it was quite small, wasn't too worried about any precedent I was setting, and figured it would stay small, so it wouldn't be an issue. I intended it to be pretty informal I suppose, and *not* a church or anything, so I wasn't too concerned with policing discourse except for things that weren't Christian. I was actually concerned that a lot of irreligious people would turn it into a sort of "here's why Christianity is wrong" battleground, but that never really materialized. The first non trolling "threat" that I had to decide what to do with was the "Positive Christianity" stuff, which was basically Nazis interpreting Christianity through Nazism, and since I knew a lot of those people were on /pol/ I didn't want to have the board slide into that.
I was happy to see the board grow, and was surprised at how much it took off and managed to not just turn into a far-right /pol/ replica. A couple of notes of trivia would be that I remember the owner of /islam/ wishing us Merry Christmas, a guy named smiely from the asatru board offering a board skin that I didn't accept (but appreciated the offer), and me offering to co-admin a debate board with the owner of the atheism board, /atheist/ or /atheism/, which he declined, as he was fine having that stuff on his board. Also, I had nothing to do with the IRC or the twitter that apparently exists. I posted on the IRC a couple of times, though.
The first bit of "drama" that came about was me getting two moderators, one named Seminaranon and another named Fr. Milch, I think. The first was a Lutheran seminary student in the Midwest and the other was a Catholic, who I think was from Germany. I was 18 and a senior in high school at the time, and had to get up pretty early to drive to school, which meant that I had to go through the report queue every morning as the board was completely unmoderated when I was asleep, which was causing problems. I never got involved with personal stuff, and only banned and removed non SFW or anti-Christian stuff. After school I could keep up without obsessing over it, and it frankly wasn't that hard, but in the morning I could wake up to 40 reports and have to go through it, which was becoming pretty annoying. My sleep schedule and online activity times were obviously very regular in high school, so I needed people from different time zones and who were active at different times than me to moderate it. During school I never had problems checking the one or two things that were in the report queue, it was mainly night that was the issue. I didn't really vet the admins if I'm being honest, and didn't know them. I don't remember how I got into contact with them, and we didn't even talk a huge amount. Probably an oversight on my part. People started complaining about Fr. Milch after a bit, which I won't say anything about because I wasn't involved enough or keeping close enough tabs. I can definitely say that I myself never engaged in censorship, and ran quite a loose ship with the board, but can't say anything about the behavior of other mods, as I really don't know it, and can't stress enough how little communication I had with them, which was, again, probably an oversight on my part.
In late 2015 I went to college, which is probably when most people remember me being mostly absent. I did basic janitor work on the board, and that was it, and was checking on it less and less, as my life got busy and I was going through a very, very bad period mentally. By the end of the school year I was hardly checking the board and logging in, since I figured the place looked fine when I checked, which I'm sure was a bit too laid back an approach in hindsight. I really never desired to get involved in personal conflicts and didn't "enjoy" being board owner per say, it was just something I did to keep what I made running, despite some of the funny things I could see and being happy the board kept growing. I wasn't then and still am not very active in online communities at all, which probably means I'm not really a good fit to be in charge of a board that's of any decent size. I was ousted for inactivity and found out later, because by that point I hardly ever went on any imageboard, and my interests had moved elsewhere.
Open to questions, may be slow in responding though!

Most people who were giving it the benefit of doubt realized it was just another splinter-group of modern leftism in practice.
Preaching the same things but with a mildly upset tone about the actual end-result of their preaching as if that somehow changes anything.
Didn't help that people from these type of boards went on one of the select few places on the internet, and in the entire west, where you can argue against the status quo merely in order to preach the exact same core dogma of the status quo; that native europeans should give up their thousands of years old homelands and collective resources to hand over both to their oppressors for X, Y and Z arbitrary reasons. (some were even duplicitous about it, stating ambiguous views over there while haranguing them the second they popped onto discord or old 8ch)
Aside from those who already believe Christ is the way, net-christians aren't telling them anything they haven't already heard from secular anti-porn, anti-abortion and anti-white advocates at this point.
That's my view at least, as a lurker who gave people on here the benefit of the doubt very early on back on 4ch pol and actually argued against the anti-christians before seeing the same old two-faced selectively tribal gaslighting once on here.
