Christian Forums Under New Management

[Tonks]

I like the open reports threads, in fact the only thing I'd change would be that they not be anonymous anymore, which would also (I think) cut down on a lot of the spite reports.

I'd like that too...I do like the open threads. I do think, however, that I'll end up being outvoted.

I guess I'm in the minority that never really had a problem with them...then again Theology wasn't always a hothouse like Support and ET.

However, it is and has happened. Thus I see there is a need to apply stricter guidelines on it if they are to remain public.

Suffice it to say this may not be the thread to "debate" this issue. Expressing a view and/or concern is not an open invitation for debate. With that being said, I am not going to post more on this topic at hand.

Thats fine, You expressed an opinion and I provided a solid point not even debating.

I guess the owner of this board

Ahhh! If it's Doc Erwin I have no problem with it. Are you sure that's who decides?

LeeD is the owner.
Erwin is no longer involved as anything other than member now.

 

[drstevej]

Aww, Steve. I can set us up with somebody if you'd like to try reconciliation.

I'd settle for you dropping your vendetta against [me] and leaving CC forum alone, Madam SuperAdministrator

 

[BelindaP]

I haven't posted there in a bit, drstevej. I don't intend to any time soon. It would be really great if you all would stop posting about me, though.

...someone who has 108 posts on CF is in charge?

My point is you do not have a history of neutrality. That is an issue of qualifications directly related to your position.

Only 108 posts but 100% ownership of the site. That clearly qualifies him.

 

[CaDan]

Is this reconciliation?

I dunno. Let's ask Albie Sachs.

 

[KarrieTex]

I have reread some posts and I also have some reservation of not allowing the subforums to have elections for their Mod's.

I see that as a positive action and to take that away leaves the door open to issues.

Of course, I am also willing to see how this plays out.

 

[suzybeezy]

I'm encouraged reading this thread, at least things won't remain as they were and that's a relief.

I think the fact that this forum is in utter chaos and infighting is pretty good proof that you can have thousands of posts (ie. erwin) and be in charge and cause alot of conflict and confusion.

Number of posts mean nothing - in fact, maybe he did more reading than posting to analyze all the hotbeds around here.
Hopefully he can deal with some of it better than someone else did (who had many posts)

If you don't think I'm qualified, then take it up with Lee. That's not what this thread is for.

I hope private staff forums aren't permanent. One of the great changes Erwin made was removing the veil of secrecy. lets not take a step backwards in that department.

Open staff forums/reports was an excellent idea; what (examples) needs to be discussed that must be done in private?

I'm disappointed that reports will be private again. I think it really helped people to see what mods do when working reports. Many of the concerns that lead to 777 in the first place had to do with secrecy, and the idea (mistaken or not) that staff did whatever we liked behind our closed doors. The openness has helped. I hate to think of us going back to the pre-777 animosity based on secrecy.

I am absolutely opposed to reports being made private.

Steve has Lee had IIDB and ~E~lsewher explained to him and what it represents? That might be useful information for him.

Do tell, what does it represent? Though I am sure that LeeD being a web entrepreneur in online forum life is well aware of IIDB and its market.

Like anything else in life, it is what you make it.

I'd like that too...I do like the open threads. I do think, however, that I'll end up being outvoted.

I don’t think you are in the minority Tonks.

Lee was reading the thread when I posted. Have a good day.

I agree. Erwin had a lot of posts, but this place still ended up being a clearinghouse for every false doctrine under the sun, and a place where the moderators abused their authority with no accountability.

I don't know the new guy, but it's hard to imagine that he could be any worse.
