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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
