New rules

[drstevej]

Looks like a power-play in the wake of major change. That often happens. It is less noticed that way.

Part of LeeD's announcement protects the congregational fora. The announcement is here. The rule reads like this:

Congregational Forums wishing to remain safe havens may choose to limit debate to members of their own denomination, insist that all posts conform to their creed etc.

The only part of our rules that does not apply is the FSB rules, however, the SoF and the no debate rules still apply. ONLY members of CC are allowed to debate and post non fellowship posts in this forum.

This is not true Henry, its been posted in the admin forum by next in command to Lee.

Especially the "conservative" ones above the reg CC mods.

I'm proud of our mods - they did the right thing and were steamrollered by the Admins. I think I'm going to download that whole thread for historical purposes.

Well, maybe we should make it noticeable?

What about if someone who is not a member of a certain congregational forum (for example, I am not a member of the Eastern Orthodox forum but I like to occasionally post there to ask questions) who wants to inquire about information regarding the denomination of that forum? For learning purposes? Would they not allowed to do this?

Appeal

I was able to email myself the whole page from reports - so if it gets "disappeared", we can still reference it.

I wonder if we can launch an appeal for Auntie?

*asking nicely*

Can somebody who understands what's going on w/ the admin. over our mods & rule details please explain it in layperson's terms as to what's going on?

Thanks for any help.

Is the announcement not true? Are other congregational forums also loosing their identity? Can I now go debate in other congregational fora where I am not a member?
I am a Baptist so can anyone now debate in the Baptist forum? Can anyone debate in the Catholic forum? Can anyone debate in TAW?

The day that even one of the Congregational forums is not a safe haven, is the day that none of them are safe havens. If we go down, so does every other Congregational forum.

Jim, please quote from Lee where he has stated what you posted in our CC forum. I know you are doing your best and your intentions are good.

 

[IamRedeemed]

I saw this in Lee's post which I think pretty much validates what Hen said:

"Congregational Forums wishing to remain safe havens may choose to limit debate
to members of their own denomination, insist that all posts conform to their creed etc."

It wasn't Lee, it was his right hand man and its posted only in the admin/SA forum for now.

 

[ContentInHim]

Does this mean that non-WOF can post in WOF now?

 

[drstevej]

Who directed you to post this in OUR forum? Why is this not posted in other congregational fora.

I will ask until you answer.

Asked time TWO.

Jim, your profile says...

Congregation, Non-Nicene Congregations.

Why not leave us alone and referee the Mormons.
