I'm not gonna lie, looking through your links, particularly the second one with 'warning signs', many of their points amusingly correspond with many Christian behaviours I have seen... I don't think Christians are reallly a great authority on cults considering how the Catholic Church is one of the most dominant cults to exist in the world. Of course, there are so many different 'types' of Christian many of them disagree with eachother too. I'm not gonna get in to the way that the word 'cult' was weaponized by Christians to destroy other religious movements. Don't get me wrong, I don't think all Christians are actually like that, I just find it... ironic, I suppose. There are definitely probably better resources that could have been used to get the point across.
However, I appreciate your effort to bring to light damaging and harmful behaviours and which I think more often than not comes from sheer carelessness. I think that there is in general only two moderators who actually peruse the forum generally (the others just pop in from time to time) and I don't know if they have the sort of time to go poking through every thread looking for instigators. There is a "Report" button on every post that can be used, so that might be a good way to go to encourage more reporting on posts that seem toxic. It would definitely make it easier for the moderators to pay attention to these sorts of things I think.
Again, I think part of the diffficulty is that there are 7-8 YEARS worth of posts scattered across the forum here and there is a LOT that has been said that I don't think is at all reflective of the way things are all the time. It would be a considerable challenge to try to 'retro-purge' such things.
