At Crossroads -- Cf's Vision - Poll Vote only here

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.
