• 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 hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hey , Flaglady !! :)

I see that you have spread yourself over here , as well .

I am writing this because I hae seen the stickies . We don't have a lot of people writing in this forum . In fact , it looks like this forum has been gutted in the last month . We have been here a year plus and not all of the threads are showing . We are shown to have 262 threads . I don't see them .

Anyway , I am not sure how much participation will occur for making up rules and having mods . I propose we have the old rules for this forum and only independant house groups .

I suppose that we will somehow bring in a mod .

I am all for a volunteer .

I totally agree! Why don't we have a mod who belong to a house church and mostly write here? I vote for Wineskin and JohnZ if he wants.

Perhaps I should have posted it before. But this is the latest protocol on nominations for moderator. Just FYI!

1. This current guideline is only in effect until the community establishes WIKI guidelines for holding moderator elections, and no later than December 31, 2007.

2. Moderators elected under this guideline keep their positions until December 31, 2007.

3. These guidelines will only serve for election of moderators outside of the Congregational Forums, and for forums which do not have election guidelines already established in their respective WIKI's.

4. To receive a nomination, a candidate must approach or be approached by a moderator and receive their support.

5. The supporting moderator will start two threads.
a. A poll with two options. "Yes" and "Apply Later".
b. A thread for Q&A with the candidate. In this thread there will be no more than ONE primary post per member (questions or statements)--with the ONLY exception being ONE additional post for one of the following reasons:
1. to ask ONE follow up question (must be directly related to the original question)
2. to clarify the orignial question IF asked by the applicatant, or
3. to recant a statement made by the member in the original post the member made.
c. While the application itself is no longer necessary, it might be usefull to use the old mod application to glean some of the questions for the applicant.
6. The poll and Q&A threads will remain open for 7 days. At this point they will be closed.

7. The poll thread will be used ONLY for voting purposes. The only posts to be made in this thread are to indicate a change in voting. All other posts will be moved to the Q&A thread.

8. At the end of the seven days, the votes will be tabulated. Greater than 70% approval (Yes votes) will result in the candidate being elected. This option is chosen over a simple majority (50% +1%) to avoid polarizing the fora. 70% or greater demonstrates a wide degree of acceptance of the candidate.
