The CF Chaplain job description is as follows:

The Chaplains are ordained clergy appointed by the Advisors and CEO upon the recommendation of the current Chaplains. Chaplains report directly to the Advisors and are not a part of the general CF moderating structure, although Chaplains are able to eban trolls posting inappropriate contentography and vulgarities. Chaplains respond to questions in the Ask a Chaplain forum, assist the staff in responding to members and staff with acute personal and spiritual needs, and encourage unity among the staff. The Chaplains work as a team in handling their responsibilities, including all the normal moderating functions within the Ask a Chaplain forum. The Chaplain position is considered a ministry on CF...they pray for the site and look for ways to pray and encourage the membership, as well as to be a light for Jesus in the forums.
