From what I gather and to those who missed it, here is the proposal for Mod voting

Wouldn't that open the way for an entire moderating staff to be of one "denomination" or Church?

Sure it does. Eventually CF will be comprised of whatever denomination prevails.

But not even a thank you?

Please hear my heart when I say this.... I don't intend to minimialize your feelings in any way, shape or form...nor do I desire to in anyway not express my thoughts in anything but love and appreciation toward you as my brother in Christ!

HOWEVER... "thank yous" are overrated and often glib. Mothers can tell you that most jobs worth their time and effort are the ones most often overlooked when it comes around to receiving a "thank you".

I go back to my original thought on this matter. If your service has been unto the Lord, your reward is in laying your crown at His feet... Hearing HIM say "well done good and faithful servant" will be so much better than what Erwin or any man, woman, boy or girl on this site could ever express!!!!

do you even realize that the people who gave themselves to CF are literally crying right now? Being on staff isn't just a title! It's being part of a family! You're breaking up families and friendships! It goes deeper than the red "M" next to my name!

And the members that have been here for years watching the changes of CF both good and bad, they are also family & put quite a bit into CF.

Agreeing with you, Adiya..

Personally, I've surrendered all to God..

His Will.. His Way.. His Time.. For He has the perfect plan..

If He wants me to be a Mod, I will be one.. *smile*

Now that's the right attitude!!! Motives born from a pure heart...self-less, a true servant!

God bless you dear Sister!!!!

Erwin just doesn't get it.

That's the one comment I will reply to.

Considering the amount of time, energy, stress and most tangibly personal money that Erwin has spent on this site, I don't see what there is for him to 'get.' This was always 'his' site irrespective of how big it was & how structured the staff apparatus was.

Anyways... I very much look forward to these changes. I used to post on CF ALL the time (this account was registered when I was 13 or something) and I really haven't been around much over the last year & a half... I expect that these changes will bring me back!

That's where you are mistaken friend. Many people have contributed to this site and I would have rather him sold this site than to do this to so many members.
He hasn't gotten reaction from most of general membership yet because they do not know what is going on.
They will though.

There are staffers that have given months, years to this site who now are put to a vote...
Give me a break. Do you think they are well liked by the majority of folks around here that they have warned?
Even so they have worked so hard that now they may loose their position on staff which becomes like a second job to many with many close friends.
Now modding is being given up to the heathens by most popular vote..

This place is a joke. This is now a secular website..

Be an honest man Erwin, and
Change the slogan
This is not "Uniting All Christians As One Body"

What a sad day!

Spot on!

Every single member in this place owes you and all the other moderators more than just a thank you. You all have done work that would earn money and a lot more praise in other jobs.

Please don't think I am putting down the mods here. I have to say the right thing though whether it's popular to say or not. The mods are the ones who have kept this place going for years. Just take that investment of time and work and put it in God's 401k.

Gosh if y'all are this picky about non christians posting alongside of you, I'd hate to see what you're like if one walks into your church.

I know your not all that keen on the popularity contest but isn't that how we elect a Pm/president and nobody complains.

Uh yeah, but this is a Christian site. Designed, or so I thought, for Christian members in mind.

Saucy · Jul 7, 2007

I myself have donated hundreds of dollars to CF and have given close to a year in mod service. I would hope Erwin cared about my opinion at least a little bit. I'm not trying to say I'm above someone or special, but without our support and our work, there would be no CF.

Are they losing their friends? Are you not able to be friends unless you both are "important" or a moderator? There's PMs, email, IMs.... or do you need an elusive forum to communicate?

It is sad that staff thinks they are better than everyone else :sigh:

Erwin, why change a good thing?

Da_Funkey_Gibbon · Jul 7, 2007

Whey!

Broadly this is great stuff- obviously there are a number of practical considerations that spring to mind in implementing this, some of which have already been raised - but hopefully they'll get ironed out in the process - if Erwin hasn't got a plan up his sleeve already.

Good luck Erwin, praying that you get this thing done. An ambitious project, but I'm sure you can do it.

There really aren't that many of us, you know. You all are the majority.

Actually Erwin did get it, and that's why the change.

Praise God!
