A new CF, an old vision (2)

[QuickandSilver]

No friend you are not the enemy. You are a dear creation of God and I will always treat you as such.

My problem is not with respectful, kind and wonderful non Christians, of which I have met many.

It is with the acid spiiters. those whose life goal is to tear down our faith and ridicule everything we believe in. You know they exist. You know that is their goal.

And now they have free run of this forum. There is no place to discuss Christianity anymore, as Christianity no longer has a definition or a defense on this site. I cannot ask my brothers about how to avoid or fight temptation, without 5 or 6 people jumping in and telling me that temptation is a myth, and there is no sin.

There is no control or stability anymore.

Erwin obviously thinks all the hate directed at Christians is very healthy, excellent chances to win those folks to Jesus.

Erwin's eyes will never see the reality.

I think you may have missed an earlier post of his (unsurprising, given the speed of this discussion!). The moderator elections would be done by subforum, so it's immensely unlikely non-Christians are going to be modding outside of Debate.

There'll have to be controls to prevent voting blocs, but I imagine that will be hammered out before the system is implemented.

You may be right. However, I believe unbelievers can moderate in non-Christian forums while JW, Mormons and other believers can moderate their own forums.

Why would anyone vote for someone's who's trolling? And if they start trolling after they become mods, then they will be removed, because mods aren't above the rules.

You don't get it do you.

The rules that we all know and love, are dead. Erwin Killed them late last night.

New rules will be written, by community consensus.

Guess what.... there are a lot of acid spitters who will be happy to vote.

 

[sparklecat]

Yep and it will still be a popularity contest.

Well, at this point I'm hoping that there would still be some sort of oversight. Given many of the opinions expressed in this thread, I'm not anxious for people supported by some here to be voted into power over me.


I think the ideas have a lot of potential if implemented well. Otherwise it could certainly be a disaster, but it doesn't hurt to give it a chance.

Except that
A; it is conceivable that there could be enough sock votes and friends sock votes etc.

B. If they are in the majority and the majority make the rules who says there will be a no trolling rule?

Nice to know that you know Erwin so well & how is future will come to pass.

And Jesus seemed to know that hatred of Christian was going to be common, and that struggles were good in building you up.

The only hate I see being directed at Christians at the moment is coming from other Christians.

The only hate I have had directed at me at CF has come from Christians.

Yes, I see what you are saying. I mis-read. Bad me.

internet communication is not the easiest medium

What if we implemented weighted voting on a per forum basis? Assign a member one vote for each post they have made in a forum. That way, those who are most invested in a forum by posting in it will have the largest say in who moderates it.

Looks like P_G and NewMan have a new forum. Cool.

perhaps it is Erwin who IS seeing reality? Time will tell, no?

bet you're glad you don't live in the USA then
We get some doozies voted into power.

But you know what ?
The bible still tells us to Pray for those in charge over us (not to pray for them only if you agree & like them)

Actually I think giving it a chance will destroy CF. But hey it's not my forum to destroy.

 

[Zecryphon]

Please, keep the histrionics off here. CF is alive and well and God is leading it.

God's name is Erwin?

I am not crying over the passing of the old Rules.

I like this idea.


Even if someone has the stamina to sign up 100-odd sock accounts to try and sway the vote in GA, they're not going to anywhere near outnumber me, much less all the other regulars.

You said this better I could in all of my posts.

No bro - you are doing great! Bless you!

agreed, and the same experience is true for me
