Please take your grievances against the guild captain's decision to ban certain members (who violated guild rules, or Commands, and this guild's aim to promote peaceable, gentle discussion with respect to Scripture) with the guild captain himself. Same for any problems you perceive to have with a moderator.
Rules & Guidelines Revisited
Quote: 5. [...] If you have an issue with a moderator present your case in an orderly respectful manner to the guild Captain.
This guild's aim is to study the Scriptures and know them for the purpose of applying. No one has said nor shown otherwise.
I'm locking this topic because you're violating guild rules and acting in disregard of the purpose of the public forums in the guild (sincere Scripture study, prayer requests, sharing Biblical advice when asked or asking for said Biblical advice, praise of YHWH, edifying each other in the faith).
Banning is the same as expelling a person from the congregation when they refuse to repent after being corrected by the church and they refuse. By disagreeing with the concept of banning/expelling, you're not just disagreeing with mere guild rules, but Christ Himself who gave the proper procedures for how to correct sin, and remove from amongst us those who refuse to correct the violating behavior within themselves.
Please stop subverting the decisions of guild moderators. Aside from faithfully serving Christ, the decisions we make are for the purpose of aiding organized discussion and staying on topic.
Hebrews 13:17 (NIV)
17 Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.

If this is really so pressing that we cannot have peace if it isn't addressed, then for the purpose of edifying with the truth and fostering what leads to mutual peace, I will respond to this here:
Prophet of Holy Fire In my thread I posted "Is getting easily offended Christian?" To that "Since I can't post there" To Cristobela : Then Hatting Trump in any way is wrong>?
I thought it could be discerned from everything else I've stated in conversation with Swordsman of God and in your topic, and from Scripture itself, but allow me to make it clear as crystal:
If your question is: if it's wrong to hate him in any way? Then no.
Psalm 45:7 (NIV)
7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.
Nehemiah 1:7 (NIV)
7 We have acted very wickedly toward you. We have not obeyed the commands, decrees and laws you gave your servant Moses.
Proverbs 29:27 (NIV)
27 The righteous detest the dishonest; the wicked detest the upright.
Whatever is wicked in Trump—like in any other creature—and deviating from the Commands, I do not defend and will hate.
Whatever is righteous in Trump—just like anyone/anything else—righteous in line with the Commands (not people's opinions), that I will love.
It's that simple.
I'm not here for Donald J. Trump, but Jesus Christ, submitting to the Word of God, and, if I need to (because they cross my path and affects who I will be fellowshipping with or interacting with [including with those under my care]), sincere assessment of sin in an individual regardless of their title or group affiliation, or level of prestige in society. I don't need to make judgments about Donald Trump beyond that; I don't witness the things he does.
Nor do I care for controversies (political or otherwise).
1 Timothy 6:4 (NIV)
4 they are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions
Topics of that subject will not attract my attention.
That said,
Peace be with you.
