• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I don't think CC guidelines are of any concern anymore.
that was exactly what I was concerned about when I read flaglady's post regarding adherance to the guidelines and posted my concern about that; and it seems I was right after all.
7 days?

What was strange about it was, they made it a 7 day fsb... not just 24 hrs.
Don't ask me where that came from - I don't recall that in the cc guidelines at all.

The rules on that are pretty weird. First of all, no member KNOWS what the rules are. Second, apparantly under the probation, fsb's are at the discretion of the Admins. Third, I bet Eric didn't receive any warnings or infractions either. Fourth, I bet even though he was cleared of any wrong doing, his previous ban was used against him to give him the 7 day instead of the 24 hour.

it's all gone a little freakish~appears that those higher ups (& maybe mods too?) have free reign to ban whenever~guess if one of us disappears for a while we'll know what happened:D

Neither will membership be for long. It seems whenever an SA pops in to post a "suggestion" it's really code for "we're going to make this change regardless of what the members want".

You'de be right on all of the above (and one of them I have a hunch is correct - involving the previous ban... I read a pm he got from 'someone higher up' & it was interesting about his "posting style")

Which reminds me...Y'all know that JimFromOhio has left CF, right? He says it is for good this time. I know he signed out once before but came back when the 7-7-07 changes took place. I don't think he will be back until after the rules are in place for real.

my thoughts exactly -
(**not all mods/staff are who I'm talking about - there are some very good ones that I respect) -
Would CC have been attempted to be shut down by staff prior to Lee's changes?
You guys mite know that better than I would. I dunno.

I cannot speak for everyone here, but you are as Conservative as they come in my book. You are most welcome as a guest, and a member if you wish as long as everyone else agrees.

As for working with Jim and Jo (Flaglady) I don't know that it will get us anywhere. But I know that I want to try to get someone to listen. I have had a good working relationship in the past with Jo and while Jim and I have disagreed much lately I haven't written him off as disinterested. Right now I am not happy with the Kumbaya regulations but maybe just maybe we can preserve CC as a haven for conservatives.

Perhaps I can help, perhaps I can't. But I won't be happy with myself if I don't try. Regardless of the outcome I will be posting more at C-C-F and less here.

I just registered over there. It said the maximum users on line ever was 30. :eek: We really must be a minority.
