Netiquette for Society Forums

The below will serve as clarification of how the moderation of the society forums will apply/interpret the site wide rules regarding posting netiquette. CF recognizes that the redemptive work of Christ is not yet finished, therefore, all are welcomed for fellowship and discussion within the framework of the site wide rules.


Christians

1. Discussions with non Christians must be respectful keeping in mind that just because someone has not yet accepted Christ as their Lord and savior does not mean that the Lord won't draw him/her at a later time. (Col 4:2-6)

2. Christians are stewards of Christ and His word and as such it is expected that all non Christians be treated respectfully by speaking the truth in love (1 Peter 3:15).

3. Christians should hold themselves to a higher standard given that this is a Christian site. Non Christians, lurkers, the weak of faith, etc. do read your posts which means that the impression you give is what they see.




Non Christians

1. Keep in mind that this IS a Christian website and as such CF reserves the right to choose what content is appropriate.

2. All discussions with the intent of belittling or mocking Christians or Christianity will be promptly removed.

3. All discussions belittling Christians by calling them mentally inferior, ignorant, bigoted, etc. will be promptly removed.

4. All discussions blaspheming the Christian God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit will be promptly removed.


The above will drive how moderators interpret the site wide rules as they relate to the society forums. There is no reason why conversations can not remain civil without restricting speech. In most cases, it is not what was said but how it was said. Please peruse your posts before hitting the submit button to make sure that it conforms with the site rules. The poster, and only the poster, is responsible for the content of their post so you are in full control of what you post.

CF moderating staff is dedicated to making society a forum where all are welcomed.

Any questions\suggestions regarding the above please take them to the suggestion/complaint box forum by following this link.
