I know not all Christians are like that, I mean I'm a Christian, I don't have a sock account and i'm sure many others don't as well.

I voted for #2 but I don't want to go back to the old way totally.
1. I like it that nonChristians can post in the congregational forums without the thread having to be coded for it, BUT I strongly feel that only the congregational members should be allowed to debate in those forums, and that nonTrinitarian views should not be promoted.
2. I like how the overall site rules are shaping up now BUT in some ways the rule book is too thick. Different rules for different forums and all kinds of protocals for every little thing - it has not gotten simpler! it is getting more complicated by the day!
In other ways, the rule book is lacking. Language has gotten worse!
Too much is changed at the same time which has caused chaos. And the Wiki is so intimating that many members are hanging back. There are too many wikis - who can keep up and work reports and interactin the forums and get the moderators nominated, etc. It is VERY overwhelming.
3. I didn't like warnings/infractions BUT some folks are just trolls. Some folks will not behave and will continue to flame and harrass and chose to test the boundaries and overstep them.
4. I don't mind members reading the report threads, and have even appreciated input from members BUT some report threads have been flame fests so that there is even discussion in wiki about adding report buttons to posts in the report threads so that we would have to work reports on reports. Yikes!! And with the loss of staff, alot of reports are not being addressed. I really have an issue that member comments are anonymous! For true transparency, member names should be seen. There is concern about "protecting members" from retaliation - but staff are members too and are only volunteers, and apparently are fair game for retaliation.
5. Voting for mods seems a good idea, but it can turn into a popularity contest And there are no controls as to WHO is voting. How many votes are duplicated thanks to sock puppets? Or folks who just joined a particular forum? And I have already seen the threats/harrassment/flames leveled at those who are mods now in report threads because they disagree with how a mod sees things in a report.
6. I do not have a problem with nonChristians as mods as there is a place for them. I still think the majority of mods need to be Nicene Christians (in terms of the Trinity) .
7. We do need to have the definition of Christian for the purposes of this forum to be Trinitarian as defined in the Nicene Creed. Changing that was throwing the baby out with the bath water.
8. I don't care that the CR is open for to all to view. However, there are situations that need confidentiality and a private space is need for that.

I won't be voting in this.
For one thing, recent polls seem to have added more heat than actual light.
For another, I don't like either option.

I fear that If i choose Option 1, along with most of the members then this site will end up just like www.religiousforums.com where of course, no Christian can actually be a Christian. Continually while i was there Christian after Christian was banned for trying to "convert." One Christian was banned because he helped a Mormon convert to be an Evengelical Christian. I myself was banned because i qouted an once-saved-always saved website. As long as it doesn't turn to stuff like that, I vote option 1.

right goodchild , kick the conservatives to the curb completely or forget it huh. Liberal rules or no dice. Hows that for tolerance.
Having open forums for everyone as well as the other is real middle ground. Seems some folks want no middle ground though. It cannot be both ways.

Non-Christians have always been allowed to join CF. No one is really expecting that to change.

It has come to my attention that I accidentally voted twice in this poll by using a new account I recently created. I first would like to apologize to everyone for this. It was not my intention to create a sock and vote, and then vote again... This is what happened:
I scrambled my password for this account after the reforms. I requested a couple times to get my password for this account, but never got a response. I was lurking on CF tonight and saw this thread and felt like I needed to post my opinion. Since I could not get into my original account, I created ZACATK and posted 4 times. I voted for option 2. I got to talking to a staff member through PM, and they unscrambled my password. Time had passed from my original voting of this on my ZACATK account. When I logged into ZACTAK, I had a reflex to vote again and did so, forgetting I had already voted...
I apologize for voting twice and if I could remove one of those votes, I would do so in a heartbeat.
God bless.
