• 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.

Member Ratings

This shows up as "Rating" represented by a green-blue bar under the username of a member.

"Rating" is calculated by the number of votes a member gets from other members and depends on how other members rate the member.

Each member can be rated with a value from "1 - Bad" to "5 - Good". Members are rated according to their "Friendliness", "Helpfulness" and "Contributions" to the forums.

Each member can only vote for another member once, but you can update the rating for the same member by voting again, with the vote counting as the same vote, just with a different rating.

To rate a member, just use the dropdown menu under the "Rating" bar, or view the member's profile by clicking on their username or the profile button.

Rating is done anonymously. You can stop others from rating you by clicking on "User CP" and click on "Options".

Hope you enjoy this new feature of Christian Forums.

I am interested in feedback regarding our Special Features. A list and explanation of our Special Features can be found in our FAQ, or you can click here:

I guess a couple of folks don't like where I stand on certain issues. Awwww....so sad for me.
What can you do? I can't/won't be all things to all people.

I look at the rating system as somewhat of a joke. All it takes is for someone to disagree with your post, then get all mad at you, then react by giving you a bad rating. How silly is that?

Hiya all, I'm back from a 2 week holiday - things got a bit tense while I was gone I see - but I am glad the mods are doing a fine job getting things back on track.

As to what those bars mean, just click on the "FAQ" button and look up "Christian Forums Special Features".

Why can you vote for yourself? Good question - it's a bug in the hack that I installed into the forum software - I may or may not have time to fix it.

God bless you all!!! :)
