• 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

If you have little reputation, here is the advice I give to those I have been helping:

First, become a Site Supporter. This will give you 40 reps to give instead of 20, and enable you to easily multi-rep people.

Second, use ALL your reps everyday, if you can do so without sacrificing sleep or family time. If you can, separate your reps into two groups of about 20 and use them early in the day and then later in the day.

Third, In the "How many/much reputation" types of threads, post at least three times every place you rep. This will enable those who want to help you to rep you several times.

If you have 1-5 stars: Go to the "Rep the ten (five, four, three, two, one) above you" type of threads in this subforum. Follow the instructions. This way you will be ASSURED that people rep you.

DON'T get on a thread and just rep everybody. You will probably not be repped back because people usually want to exchange reps with someone near their own level or above. Don't waste your reps.

If you have 5-10 stars: Go to threads such as the Repaholics Support thread, or the "How much/many" reputations threads and look for people who are about your same level. Rep them, then later hit your Control Panel, scroll down and see who is repping you back. Rep those who rep you. Do this also with threads in your own age-related forum. People are always looking for those who will faithfully rep them back.

If someone with LOTS of reputation does rep you, then rep them back. Even rep them back several times, if you can. If you can get somewhere close to their rep power with your multi-reps, then try to do that. Again, keep track of who reps you back and return reps to them.

Remember that no one has to rep you, but you can use your reps to bless people and make friends.

Have fun!

R-- Repping 101

Do you see the little hand icon on my post? If you click on it a window will appear which asks what you think of my post. You can type on that or just leave it blank. If you press "submit" you have just repped me.

Reps are different from blessings, although it is true we use reps to bless people. Blessings accumulate with each post. If you become a site supporter you get a thousand blessings for every dollar you spend. Also you can give blessings to others or receive them.

Reputation is different. It was originally intended to rate people's posts. Now however it is more often used just to bless someone.

Every member has the ability to rep someone ONCE THEY HAVE 100 OR MORE POSTS. Before that number, they CANNOT rep anyone, even though they have a reputation number.

Regular members have a limit of 20 reps per day, Site Supporters get 40.

Reputation grows as people rep a person.
