  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

Joykins, CF Ombudsman, has asked for interested persons to apply to be a conciliator.
10.2 Duties and Authority of the Conciliators
The Conciliators will provide assistance to any member at any stage of the appeals process. Such assistance may include, but is not limited to, explaining CF Rules, explaining CF procedures, drafting appeals, serving as an intermediary between Staff and members, serving as an intermediary between members, arranging settlement of disputes, and submitting reports to the CEO.
See this thread

There is an interest in getting more conservatives on the conciliation team.

joykins said:
We are looking for people who demonstrate Christian love in their interactions with others, are articulate, persuasive, persistent, diplomatic, fair-minded, and willing to see situations from more than one perspective.

All candidates must be approved by Erwin, and per Erwin's statement earlier this year, all candidates must be Christians who qualify to post in the Christians-Only forums.

I am calling for both recommendations and applications. If you think someone (or more than 1 person) would be really good at this, please recommend them and encourage them to apply. If you are interested, please apply.

For application, simply PM me and explain why you would make a good conciliator.

I am looking for a cross-section of people from different backgrounds, so if you know someone who would be great who only posts in a few specific forums, please link them to to this post.
