• 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.

weird is such a relative term. Is Michael the Iconographer weird? I'm inclined to say that he is undoubtedly weird. But then those who think he is weird might think that a person who would choose to wear a clown wig, and a barrel for pants is weird. I would, however, maintain that this is perfectly normal. Since barrels were first invented, they have been known to serve as a substitute for a misplaced pair of pants. Now granted most people would remove the fish from the barrel before fashioning a pair of pantaloons from said barrel, but what can I say? I'm a little weird.

I am not wierd, just full of peculiarities.

Why is it that *sometimes* my posts don't appear immediately but I get this message saying my post will first have to be approved by a moderator? And then it appears like an hour later? It's happened 2-3 times up to now out of my 50 odd posts. Does it also happen to others, or does CF think I'm a shifty lad? :p

If you are posting in certain forums covered by the Recovery mods, then they do moderate every post.

But here you should not be having that problem. However, I did have another problem here in TAW where I posted, saw the post, but the post did not appear. It was strange. I tried posting it again, and got the message that I was duplicating my prior post. However, my post did not display in the forums and the thread remained buried within the forum with no new posts at all. I waited five minutes and still there was no post. So, once again I posted the same message, and went through the same process only to find that my post was not posted, and the thread remained unchanged.

Finally, after 10 minutes, I posted a short message, like hello, and then edited it and finally, my original message was able to be posted. So, I guess CF is burping during its reconstruction and sometimes messages get lost.

Contact one of the mods if you are curious. They should know.

OK folks, I need to waste a couple of posts in here because otherwise this stupid thing won't let me post links & I want to post links in other threads.

Hi all!
Καλησπέρα Φιλοθέη & Βασίλη!
Bonjour Emmanuel!
Zdravo Nenad!
Päivä Jenny!


to funny! I hope that you are happily posting links now. I can't figure this site out myself most of the time so I have no idea why your posts need to be moderated :confused:

Thanks ladies.

I posted something apparently requiring moderation in that freemasonry thread about an hour ago. Let's see when it appears. Wasn't anything ground-breaking. The thread can still live without it, but let's wait & see.


That explains it! The masonic order has taken over CF!

Nah, they just mod all the posts coming from a Finnish IP... :p Bunch of shady folks over there... :D I mean they're just thawing out, bunch of crazy ideas swirling in their heads.

Nah, honestly, I have no clue! Then again I've been here so long that there's probably moss growing on top of my ears...

Sheesh! That was exactly the same thread I was having problems with.

Conspiracy?

Just post "Amen" or "Later" - some simple single word.

Then edit your post with the message you wanted to send once your post has been accepted (type it in a word doc and then cut and paste).
