• 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.

I have not forgotten this. This reform is not as simple as rewriting the rules - I plan to consolidate all forum-specific rules into the one place and remove the forum-specific rules (since they add a whole new layer of extra rules to each forum). This also includes redoing the staff protocol and guidelines.

I have some personal and family issues to deal with at the moment. I will try my best to get this done early this month if possible.

I apologize for the delays.

Thank you for the update Erwin. I know you are doing your best on this. Family issues and real life issues come first. That also includes taking care of yourself. :thumbsup:

That is great, Erwin. I am glad to hear that there are efforts underway to make the rules consistent. Does this include processes to help make the application of the rules consistent also?

The delay is understandable.

I'm trying to time this with a software version upgrade as well... I'm seeing when I can get a few days off work to do all this. :) Thanks for being patient.
That is just fine....Thanks so much for this great ministry...
