A new CF, an old vision (2)

Being a forum moderator has nothing to do with spirituality...

Watch and see.

Being a person has everything to do with spirituality, regardless of what job you do.

Sorry preacher-ain't rollin' over and givin' up to this...battle is against the dark powers encircling this site.

agreed, those preaching we should go to war to bar the doors, keeping out the least, the last, and the lost are dark forces indeed

I gotta jump in here.

Yes we will face attacks, from Christians and non- Christians alike.

That is okay, we learn when we have to answer for our beliefs and actions.

Amen to that Act 17:2 - 3

I haven't been a part of the discussions on this. I think that there is a great deal of speculation going on.

Unless the changes have already been announced... in which case, anybody have a link for me?

The first post in part one of this thread, go read!

Right... there need to be rules, but then tell me why CF can't be in different sections as it was yesterday, just with new un-legalistic rules?

Why should there be NONS-believing mods and staff to say what goes and what doesn't in discussions between believers? Why should there be any non-believing mods and staff on a Christian forum? Unless it for certain games or something?

You don't put non-believers in charge of believing, spiritual "things"!

non-believers will have to get voted in as mods..do you really think they will be modding congregational areas..no they'll be modding GA . If you read a few of erwins posts from last night regarding the new ideas for modding..it makes alot of sense..hold on...let me pull up a couple of his posts..

But what does it have to do with being a forum moderator?

Be ready in season and out, climate change is gonna make for a loooooong season

Ecclesiastes 3

Everything Has Its Time

1 To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:​

2 A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted;​

3 A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up;​

4 A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance;​

5 A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;​

6 A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away;​

7 A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;​

8 A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace.​

The God-Given Task

9 What profit has the worker from that in which he labors? 10 I have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

The idea would be that individual forums have membership that can form their own rules through a wiki/collaborative process. If the current congregational forum wants to ban debate, and if the members of that congregational forum vote to agree, then it is so. Why should a person from another section care? They can request and form their own forums for their own group. Moderation will be decentralised according to each forum/category - members that the forum members respect get voted to be their mods. Mods usually only have power to moderate their own forums. Reports go into forums that are subforums of these forums/categories. It's a massive restructure that I need to embark on.

The aim is to make this a true community where people have the power to ultimately moderate themselve

I love this idea! This is how the congregational forums SHOULD work!

I agree

Why don't you like the current logo?

As I stated previously, it does not accurately reflect the NEW mission of the NEW CF.

It should state somthing like: Uniting people of all religions or no religion as one body.

Do you see anything wrong with my logo suggestion?

A lot of discussion could have been avoided if Erwin would have just / will just sit down and properly write IN ONE PLACE what the new rules / format will be.

His definition though of who is considered a Christian has very much shifted. And it's not based on Biblical belief any more. It's based on "who am I to judge. If you say you're a Christian, you are." That is not Biblical.

People keep forgetting this. Thanks for posting.

See and I think that most of these problems everyone is worried about will be ironed out because of that policy worked in right there.

Me too, especially after these new changes

Me too.

This isn't going to crowds of non beleivers, it's pitching your tent among them.

That's what The Salvation Army (my church) has always done.

That's right. As someone earlier said - it's uniting all people, not uniting all Christians. Vast difference - and can never work because they are completely difference and opposed "world/life views".
