Where cult members would inevitably go to argue against the claims, as happens in threads tackling the same sort of topics.
It would be a constant task to remove every post that disagreed, not to mention disrupt the flow of threads. And there's no way to keep people out who disagreed.
But again there has to be a perceived need by enough people to even be considered, according to the site owner.
What I've learned, in 9 years on the site, about new forum topic
suggestjons:
*nothing debate oriented or that could be perceived as such
*nothing that puts undue demand on mods
*must be enough people to justify it
*I've never seen them censor other beliefs, unless they are preaching or aggressively defending beliefs that go against Christian beliefs
*the number of options is purposefully kept to a minimum to keep the site from being bloated

We need only report then on the first post.
A filter could be installed on the subjuct line of the report looking for the word "cultist" to autodelete thier posts in that area. Also, when doing a special registration for that area, they would have to agree to a statement of faith that all real Christian hold to like.
Jesus is fully God, fully Man
The Trinity with standard defintion given.
Salvation by Grace, not by works.
No extra Biblical Revelations.
Only Christian Sources like the Early Church Fathers is allowed.

You can't find two "real Christians" to agree on everything 100%, so while it's a nice idea, it won't happen or work. Sorry. 
Majors are:
Jesus is fully God, fully Man
The Trinity with standard defintion given.
Salvation by Grace, not by works.
No extra Biblical Revelations.
Only Christian Sources like the Early Church Fathers is allowed.
This rules out Minor doctrines that Divide:
Spiritual Gifts
second Coming
Dispensationalism
Calvinism vs Free Will
existence of Hell
church goverment
and others like that
Also, filters can be applied.
What?????
You mean - a group of Christians don't have the self-discipline and determination to accomplish that without hard-line-rule preventions put in place??? What is that all about???

I avoid that room if I can help it lol
Unfortunately.
This is true. There are even those who will claim there is room for a multiplicity of differing opinions here, but if
you disagree with them on something, they will turn around and condemn you, showing their words to be false

Bottom line You're pushing and arguing a point that goes against previously disagreed with notions by the site owner.
Owner doesn't prefer to add new subforums
Owner purposefully allows other beliefs to be expressed on this site, with some limitations.
No matter how you cut it, more work for the mods who are volunteers.
Ways to easily get around your checks.
Uncertainty the site owner agrees with your list of requirements.
Auto deleting posts just for the headline, with no checks, is begging for abuse of that system. The mods will get complaints and have to check each one to verify whether the report is true or not. And that's assuming the deleted post is still visible to them. As it is the report button is highly misused as it rarely is used to actually report against rule breakers, but rather for personal reasons.
