Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
Yeah. Sort of a leap into the unknown in more than one way.
I had wanted to keep it hidden for now, to avoid controversy and bad feelings, and also to simply see how it felt just to me, in private.
But if the poll settles against the non-Nicene members, then I may have less than a week to wear it. Hidden or not, the staff can see it.
It appears to be a disaster to those who have trouble dealing with temporary uncertainty.
I think that if staff were selected because they wanted to serve the members rather than dominate them we would have a far better forum
[/SIZE][/FONT]CaDan I would like to see an area devoted to all members for fellowship and discussion. I also think the prereform wiki congregational areas are needed also and needed to be christian only for the edification of believers and for discussion of issues that affect those congregations.
I think wiki rule needs to end , it isnt working and it isnt designed for rules. I agree the rules prewiki need to be reformed.
I think the rules of the board need to be clear and not overly vague so there is no question of what is and isnt a violation. I do not disagree with staff forums being open however there is also a need for closed staff forums when there is a confidentiality matter and harrassment etc.. is concerned.
I do not agree on voting on mod applications- service on a christian board should not be done by mob rule or popularity contests but by ability to minister and ability to understand and apply the rules fairly. If voting is going to happen though i think limitations need to be made on those voting and it should be limited to members who have invested much time and posts into this site who have exhibited that they follow what happens here. Popularity contests only serve to ensure a friends need will be met and do not ensure a good moderator.
In fact i think a good way to do this would be to eliminate the name of the person being reported - so JUST what has been stated in the post is looked at. I dont know how this could be accomplished though. When i was a mod i moderated posts not people. I see and still see a ton of moderation happening based on who someone is instead of being based on what has been stated and thats so so wrong.
I think under no circumstances should a non believer or one of any religion other than orthodox christianity be a moderator over any area that deals with orthodox christian beliefs or outreach areas and under no circumstances should any religion or lack of be promoted on this board
There should be a place where members who have received staff actions can ask about them to other staff members besides the staff team where the action occured. Privately if it involves confidentiality matters but publically if it doesnt.
Hows that for a start , anything else you can ask me what you would like to know how i think about it as this is all i can think of right now.
Congrads to you SisterDepending on which way CF goes, there is still hope in allowing non-Nicene Christians to still wear the cross. I was upset with it at first but I now see where we had error in doing such a thing. If Jesus is your Savior and you believe that He is God... then I'm fine with calling you a Sister, I think that's what it comes down to.
Wiki is a process that takes time.
It appears to be a disaster to those who have trouble dealing with temporary uncertainty.
We just gonna keep trading this line back and forth?
I totally agree. I just wish that there were effective measures in place to deal with the 1% that make life miserable for everyone else.
i dont know...maybe this is God's site and NOT Erwin's Site! Maybe Erwin needs to remember that! Maybe PRAYER is what is needed here..by Erwin, by Staff and by all the Christian members! Let us all pray that GOD takes CF into his hands and guides it into the direction HE wants!The point here is that, bottom line, our opinions really should not matter. This is YOUR website. Hence YOU should take it in any direction that YOU see fit. The real issue here is the name: Christians are unhappy with the changes because they do not reflect what the name stands for. So what you need to do is think long and hard as to what message you want your website to promote. And go from there.
Anybody who is unhappy can just pick up and leave.
In the end, this is YOUR site. Never loose track of that .
Maybe PRAYER is what is needed here..by Erwin, by Staff and my all the Christian members! Let us all pray that GOD takes CF into his hands and guides it into the direction HE wants!
What about what GOD wants???????
i am not voting in this poll just yet..im spending the next couple days in prayer praying GODS WILL BE DONE! I ask you all to joine me!!

God was willing to save the cities of the plain for the sake of ten; you would exclude the non-believers to punish the 1%?
When you are ready just pm me since we both seem to represent both sides of this issue overall - maybe we can come up with something that is workable and not too much of a compromise for either side. Im willing to try it.CaDan said:I think I agree with about 80% of this.
It's getting too late in the evening for me to have a serious discussion with you about this, but let's talk further, via PM if necessary to avoid distraction. Maybe we can come up with something we can sell to both our "constituencies."
My remarks were not directed towards "non-believers" but Christians and non-Christians alike who equally seem to have a inability like decent human beings.
For the most part it is the Christians that I see that have poor behavior. Some of the posts are very disappointing.
