• 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'm not sure if this would be the proper place or not, but I'd like to propose that Secular creates Stickies for topics that come up quite frequently - or for threads that've been around for several years. I'm pretty sure this had been done in the past, then upon numerous conversions, never had been done again. I think it would make it easier to browse though because sometimes when you're looking for a specific thread, you have to ressurect old ones which can be pretty time-consuming, considering the subject matter you're after.


Stickies I'm proposing:


* New Music You're Excited About (I've noticed this several times over and it would be nice to have only one place to go for new music)

* Last Concert Attended/Upcoming Concerts

* Last Music You Bought (cd, vinyl, ipod, whatever)

* What is Wrong With Secular Music? (to avoid the hum-drum and rigamarole of threads being hijacked by someone with a differing opinion on why secular music should be banned from a Christian's ipod)
I know that in the Sticky on Secular, it mentions that these threads are not allowed here, but I've seen it so often where one person's thread can get completely de-railed due to someone else having a differing opinion which can lead to more thought-provoking posts. It can be said that Secular is a "no debate" zone, yet to the contrary many times people have differing opinions on what is good and what is garbage in regards to music, so naturally this would not be - and hasn't been - a debate-free zone. I think people who post here are generally respectable of other's opinion's, as long as people are posting where they should be.

It's worth a shot.




By posting this here, I was hoping to get a consensus of people who actually frequent here. If you have any other ideas, agree or disagree, please post. Thank you! :wave:

Yeah, I miss when there was stricter enforcement of that denigration rule, and any threads which broke it were actively moved to Ethics & Morality or whatever Philosophical section was appointed for them.

Seconding the idea, though.
