• 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

Poll, 6 strikes, lets do it

FSR's are no longer in effect. The strike system is out the window.

Forum Specific Rules will no longer be used!

Dear Staff & Members,
As many of you know by now, our new owner, LeeD, has announced changes that he and Staff will be making over the next few weeks. We hope this will be a time of peaceful change, as we have just spent a few months that were rather hectic. I’m glad many of us decided to stay for the sake of the friendships and discussions that take place at Christian Forums/Foru.ms.

I would like to make Staff and Members aware that we will discontinue having and developing “Forum Specific Rules”, aka FSRs for ALL forums here at the site. It has been decided by LeeD that this site will have a set of general rules only.

However, each forum is allowed to take the FSR’s that they have in place and develop them to become guidelines for that forum. This means that a member will not necessarily receive an infraction (infraction system is still being discussed I believe) for violating a guideline, but may be asked to have the post deleted, edited, or moved to a different and more appropriate forum. Staff will be moderating based on the set of General Rules that the site will have.

Staff and members should be encouraged to spend the next few days developing guidelines for the forums where they participate or moderate in. Remember, these are NOT rules, but can describe what topics should be discussed and in what fashion.

Another reminder from LeeD: “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 Ecumenical Staff Team and the members who participate in these areas should work together to come up with said guidelines for the sake of that forum having peace and stability. As of right now, ONLY Congregational forums have this right.

Should you have any questions regarding this announcement, please feel free to contact a Staff member and we will do our best to supply an answer.

PS An example of a guideline would be, "Do not post triggers" in a Recovery forum. Should somebody post a trigger, perhaps it should be labeled as one, deleted, edited, etc. If you have a question on a guideline, please speak to the Staff who cover that area.

Reviewed by mnphysicist and Constance.

**Updates will be added to this Announcement should any clarifications are needed. I am waiting to hear back from mnphysicist, Constance, and/or Lee about Gender and Age Restrictions. Please be patient!

That was my point. This forum is always under attack and our members are rearly protected...much less by the staff so we shoudl make the rules more in our favor.

I think so too. I think every CO forum should have rules that protect them from harm and our forum deserves this protection just like any other CO forum.

Your suggestion is a good one.

:wave: Hello there.

That was my understanding when I read it. I am glad that has seemed to
be a consistent understanding!
:pray:

I think some people (non-members) jumped the gun this morning and
made a mad dash to the CC not realizing that we still have posting
protocol available to us here.

Thanks for posting this as it adds to my faith in what I thought
I read and understood.

Praise God!


Hi everyone! Just FYI I do not think we will be allowed to make up infraction rules and such... just guidelines for how people are to behave within the forum itself... I think this is a moot point with the new rule changes.
