  • 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.

Yes I do think a rule change will be necessary soon -- do I WANT that? no. Do I think it would help this area? YES.

But even with a rule change, it won't stop the private PM deals people can make & are doing now...
but .... it mite be necessary
I don't think that the private pm deals will be such a big deal because if someone's goal is just to get a huge reputation withoug the fellowship, they can do that. The problem I see is when they bring that back into the thread and start using the high rep power as power and not as something they can give.

Be not wise in your own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to your navel, and marrow to your bones. Honour the LORD with your substance, and with the firstfruits of all your increase: So shall your barns be filled with plenty, and your presses shall burst out with new wine.
Proverbs 3:7-10

Not having to restrict things would be best, but it does seem that it's where things are heading.
very possible... but.... who's going to be the one to request them (they'll get attacked by rotten tomatoes) and how do we figure out exactly what the problem is?
As I see it, it's more than 1 single thing causing problems.

I guess that we will have to really take a good look at all the factors in the problem and then make a list. As to who will make a request... I don't know. For the sake of the community I would be willing to, even though I think that it would make me an enemy to some.

Exactly -- that's my worry. a hero to some, an enemy to others.
FUN.
:swoon: :help:

I guess that would tell me who my friends are...
to be honest, a private thread mite be better to open to hash out possible sources of the problems --- but then, you need several people giving input to pinpoint their issues... complaints they have.

But if you've already been hearing what they are, (and I know I have from the people I know), then... a private thread would be able to work then pass it on in these threads after some conclusions are arrived at?

I dunno - it may be a useless attempt too. Do I really want to get involved in another clean up issue here?
The last one I got involved with, the whole area shut down & divisions happened.
sigh.

oh goodness, where was the last place that you helped clean up? And how do we do a private thread?

I am willing to do what is necessary to help, but I don't really know exactly what to do.

Hello my friends,

Sorry... it's been a very late night work week so I haven't been able to be here much.

Hoping you're doing well and enjoying the end of the week.

:hug:

Good morning!

Bella, Nadiine--

I like the fellowship in this part of the forum. Believe me, this area has a happy atmosphere compared to where I was in May of last year. I was so miserable I almost left several times. I cannot even begin to describe how unhappy I was when I was attacked repeatedly. No one ever did anything about it, at least not until I openly confronted the person who was not only attacking me but others as well. Even now I have that person on ignore, and bear her "rating" of me on my homepage.

I don't mind people kibitzing and working together. I don't mind the rep swap thread. All of this is happy, believe me.

We are talking about how to get this sub-forum back to being fellowship focused and not so star and reps focused.

I have to agree. It started out as a fun way to fellowship, and has turned into something not so fun. I have noticed the dramatic drop-off in fellowshipping over the last week, or so, and it makes me sad because this is really the first place I have found for fellowship in the almost 4 years I have been here. :sigh:
