• 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.

  • 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 often find those who don't agree with us to be "argumentative".

True- but can we not find ways to distinguish between posts where the issue is one of disagreement, and posts that are just plain rude or aggressive? Or at least could have been stated in a more polite fashion?

I think a good test is to ask oneself: would you make the comment you just posted to a person you were face to face with- and that person was your best friend?

I don't like the report system. How do I know that things are being handled? I had an egregious incident happen to me today in-thread and how do I know what's going to happen?

(((((Floatingaxe))))))

Hey Girl! Long time, no chat! How ya doing?

The simplest solution I've found for making sure that Reports are handled in a fair and timely manner is to PM every Mod in charge of that Forum and explain the situation... in great detail. As often as you need to.

Should probably copy LeeD, too, just to be safe.

Aw, I think it's a wonderful idea. Really, it's the only way you can be certain that you've been properly represented.

Of course, an Admin-type might come by an quash the whole thing, so you should PM them, too.

Well, that is assuming that we are going to know that we have been reported.

Now, I was rarely reported before 7-7-07, but I cannot remember if I received notice or not. Did we?
