• 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.

It is mainly for CCC members who have signed out in protest. Guests are welcome but you may not like what we have to say. No one is being attacked, but we at least have this last little safe space to talk to one another without being gagged and threatened with a ban.

FYI. Usernotes don't appear with every post, only in profiles.
That's good to know. In the past, they were located in a differently shaded box at the bottom of every post, which ensured that a persons reputation preceded them in every single post they made. At least it's nice to know that the moderators need to expend a bit more elbow grease with this system to get to them.

Who thought that? Not me!
And btw, this place sure doesn't look anything like it did pre-777. Not that it was so great before. It just seems to be on a massive downward spiral.
Eww. I would hate that as a moderator. I prefer to judge people's posts on their own merits and not on what somebody else says about them in a usernote.
Now, that's just using common sense. Can't have that around here! ^_^ ;)

Which is really why usernotes are pointless. It doesn't take much to figure out who a persons sockpuppets are (IP check, please!). Everything else is automated, and should be as easy to collect as the usernotes are.

But, I think that's neither here nor there. This is how things are going to be run now.

I think they are primarily useful for FSBs, so that a moderator can tell at a glance if somebody is FSB'd. Of course, that means the usernote needs to be removed in a timely fashion when the FSB is over.
Given the intimate relationship of the the Forum Specific Moderators with their particular fora, is this really a problem?
