Lack of transparency never works IMO.
OS is a privately owned site. This clause just allows us to protect ourselves from members who don't fit the standard of our membership.

By the way: that line has been in the TOS since OS was created. EVERYONE has agreed to that term when registering, so or is nothing new.

That's true, however the clause is potentially dangerous as it's open to abuse by moderators provided there's no internal accountability among mods. Which I think is what Jdoug's point was, correct me if I'm wrong.

I find it amusing that the OS icon for NAU is 20 years (and three rebrands!) out of date.

There is very much internal accountability for mods. If we screw up we will be disciplined accordingly. Its happened before and if need be, will happen again.

We aren't a communist site. Mods just can't go around banning people for the hell of it. If we wrongfully ban someone actions will be taken to sort out the matter.

Still curious about the ban on religious talk...I'm assuming it's just proselytizing and overt recruitment stuff, because there are countless examples of "I'm praying for you" and "prayers being sent your way" which I see as religious, but nothing is being done.

You assume correctly.

And "I'm praying for you" and "prayers sent" is not "religious talk."

You have insulted my political sensibilities. I demand internal accountability.
