Would it be moral to send my friends to CF just so I get 10 blessings?

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.

Why would it not be moral? Isn't that the purpose of the 10 blessings? As an incentive to invite people?

I think it's an interesting question to ask if it is moral to refer people to CF? I've seen several people here who have lost their faith, I've seen others who claim to have left because of "unChristian treatment by other Christians".
Of course, I ran this by my husband (who did have his faith hurt by his participation on CF) and he said "You guys have far too much time on your hands."

However, I felt that this question had a couple of interesting facets, and it´s interesting to see from which perspective other posters see it.
Here are thoughts that I had when posting this thread:
It was not so much the question, whether inviting people to CF is immoral, but whether the motive of being "materially"rewarded is "good" one.
Of to be more precise: Is it a good idea to tempt people into doing things they wouldn´t do otherwise by promising them material reward?
In fact my spontaneous inner response when reading it was: Who do they think I am? What in me is that supposed to appeal to? If I would think it´s a good idea to invite my friends here, I would do it without getting 30 silvers (or 10 blessings). If I don´t, I wouldn´t do it.even for 5000 blessings. (Lvthyn:
).I guess I was surprised by that approach, particularly on a site that takes pride in its spirituality: Wouldn´t it be more congenial and in line with the spirit of this site to simply remind people: "Hey, don´t you think one or the other of your friends would enjoy the benefits of CF, too? How about inviting them?"
Ok, I will complicate the moral issueI will give everyone who is tempted to sell someone (whom he wouldn´t invite here, anyways) to CF for 10 blessings 20 blessings if they don´t do it.
