• 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

New day, new ground rules.

Members of CCC, this is a new day. We have come through a stormy night and emerged, we hope, the stronger expectations and faith, determined to have this forum afloat and a good meeting ground for all Conservative Christians.

Whilst recent changes are somewhat dramatic, there is nothing that we have not experienced before although there are some ramifications for this forum which have been deemed necessary.

Therefore, it seems appropriate now to outline some of the more crucial points for you all and to put in place some ground rules for the future for immediate implementation

This forum will now be under a 2 weeks probation during which time there will be no discussion or hint of discussion of

---- the Chief Executive Officer (LeeD)
---- any member FORU.MS staff
---- the site policy in general, either for this form, the Congregational Area or FORU.MS in general
---- any other forum/subforum on FORU.MS or policy applicable thereto
---- any staff action including this announcement
---- violations of these ground rules will be reported and dealt with according to the new site rules

During this period, there will be one or two extra staff members especially drafted in from other teams. Data will also be collected in the number and nature of reports being made. At the end of the two weeks, the senior staff will then take feed back from the moderation team to assess the situation and see if improvements have been made.

If this proves to be so, all well and good. If not, then consideration will be given to the future of the forum.

It is to be hoped that all realise how serious this situation has been and that every one of you will make earnest effort, in Christ, to create a harmonious and encouraging environment both for your members, your guests and for those who come seeking. You will have our prayers and those of the senior staff here and many others. We do not want to see this forum fail. It has been noted that there are many excellent educational and edifying threads in here. Build on that and show us how a new forum can grow in Christ and in Christian love.

In Christ

So this means they are thinking about getting rid of CCC?

There has been talk about it but we are still fighting and I am not giving up. Nothing has been decided and I honestly think that it will not happen. I need for all of you to be in your best behavior for the next two weeks.

Sounds good to me. :thumbsup:

I diliked seeing negative posts about our moderators and adminstrators and I believe they were rude and unbecoming a Christian, especially coming from CCC.

Not yet. We have been and, to be frank, came precious close but - surprise surprise - Jim talked us out of it!

What we are doing is giving you a chance to show us that it isn't necessary.

Reps for Jim for being supportive of us while we were against him.

Does this mean we have no right to form our own guidelines?

That will remain to be seen. For the present, it would be better if you would simply put your efforts into making your home habitable for all, including visitors and staff.

Show us that and then we will talk about restoration of such privileges.

Indeed. He fought long and hard whilst being lambasted by everyone here.

May i ask where these guidelines come from? Who drafted them?

Check out Aunties other thread. The guidelines are basically our old rules except for the FSB rules.

You must show me where our priviledges have been done away with.

Read your own post and then my answer. IOW, for the next two weeks we would prefer that you concentrate on making this forum a good place for everyone to be in.
