As for mods... well, the ability to moderate a forum fairly doesn't depend on someone's religious views. :)
Well, how does that work on a religious-based forum?
I mean, I would be more than happy to moderate a pagan forum!! :) Unless... are you suggesting that moderators be secular... on a Christian forum? :confused:

Visit this forum and read the admin notes in the first section:

www.formermuslims.com/forum

I just visited that site and the Admin there posted the thread: WHAT HAPPENED in the ANNOUNCEMENTS AND POLICIES forum. Apparently governmental agents from the Saudi Government hacked into the site and accessed the PMs and destroyed threads. Needless to say, the place was left in shambles. The poster Palestine has not been seen or heard of since. He could have been martyred for his Christian faith.

This is sad and really tells how nasty the Islamic authorities can be. There is no freedom in Islam, and if Erwin opens the moderatorship up to Islam, then we can have terrorists onboard who may hack CF too.

This is a real danger.

I always worried about the wolfs who are terrorists hacking CF. People can still get in like a wolf regardless. Don't you think God is able to control that? I know we can't.

We can either weed them out or preach the truth and pray that the Holy Spirit convicts them to change.
And when and if Preaching the Truth becomes against the rules?

If someone really wanted to hack this site, they wouldn’t have to be a moderator to do so.

Saying Christ is female, is going to be the tip of the iceberg. Much worse is coming.

Then be ready to defend your faith. The armor of God only covers the front side, it doesn't cover the ones that retreat.

Wow so many different opinions. I don't know Erwin at all and I suppose he can make decisions about the site he started. We will just have to see how these changes play out in real life and do our best to deal with any negative fall out. Life will go on and we will not lose our faith. gg

Forums can be hacked by people that are not mods also.

Most if not all forums are really only protected by a username & a password. And we all know the Site Admins Username.

I've seen a Wiccan forum where a Christian was a moderator. And it didn't cause anything bad. :)
He took the easy way out when he should have stood firm. Who benefits from these rules? The libs, the gays, the cults.
Yes, because if YOU don't benefit from a change, then the change must be bad. :p

You really are assuming all have been called to fight (by Erwin's vision) A body is made up pf all parts. Your assuming that his vision to confront pagans is the true way and only way.
That is however all that is left of cf. I hope that rod of steel holds up b/c a millstone would be waiting for someone that harmed His.

this is bad i have already seen non trinitarian views creep out in our Christian only sections.
This is our opportunity to preach to them and share the truth instead of keeping them out of our "sheltered" sections.

Looking forward to some changes around here. I applied for a moderator job a while back,and was denied because I did not post/talk enough about my faith and me being a christian.they told me to go to the congregation threads and talk about my religion and reapply in lets say three monthes!!!Although they did tell me that my fellowship skills were great.Being on staff here you have alot of power and I definitely think it was being overused.

Yes, the fact that there are people with different views than you is really bad. :p

Now that is news to me. Hopefully the "quiet" Christians will get elected as well.

We could do that before, with the [ OPEN] forum within each congregation. So where's the advantage?
