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.

If they wanted to do that, they could just sign up as a Christian and no one would know otherwise. Hell, I have.

To the staff voting, perhaps I am optimistic, but I think that members will take it seriously, especially since their votes have actual weight. I can't imagine members voting in trolls as their staff. It would make no sense, and the consequences would be felt primarily by those who voted that staff member in.

I agree.

As for it being a popularity poll, I hope that if it is, any popularity will have been earned on the basis of the candidates having shown a willingness to maintain decorum, unbiased decency towards others and level-headedness in their posting. If the members see candidates regularly resorting to ad hominem attacks, flaming others, and throwing the sort of angry fit I recently managed on another site :)doh: ) I doubt they would vote for them for moderator no matter what their philosophies.

I would also expect most members to be put off by anything that smacked of campaigning. How silly that would be. Anyone doing such a thing would probably only manage to disqualify themselves in most people's minds.

I have faith in you guys. :hug:

I think we'll do good.

My opinion is that a Christian site should be moderated by Christians. Just my 2 cents worth.

And should the tech support / programmers / support staff also be only Christian ?

MODERATORS ,would it be possible,for one of you to start a thread in chat with mods,or here,where the moderators who are resigning would explain they reasons?

I am really interested what are the points of the new proposed changes,the current moderators disagree with,and why.

Thank you,I hope this will be possible,and we will have some understanding of the way you feel about the changes .
Why? I think it speaks for itself.

See? This kind of thing happens all the time. Maybe with the new CF rules, people will actually be encouraged to be more honest?

I'm hesitant to share my thoughts--- I don't think them being twisted around and those who truly know me, know how I am, they know me by my fruit. I'm staying for now---I'll try to wait this out but I'm not sure.

:(

Hope for eternal life does not equate with hope for the success of a message board.

To hope that this is God leading Erwin is to hope for the success of this message board.

Leave this to the Holy Spirit. All we do is share our faith according to our beliefs and let God do the convicting.
Again how will you preach the truth when it becomes against the rules?
