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.
Can't really answer that one, because I have no idea how they're planning on implementing it, and my guesses--though they might be accurate--have about a 50/50 chance of being wrong or right.Cheers for your response, Timothy. Does that work as well for automatically moving unapproved posts to the conciliator forum?
Disciplinary actions will be taken against anyone approving, unapproving or otherwise doing things to posts without Support Team authorization.
FWIW for those concerned about that - this is not a big deal.
CF already has a forum operating that way called Struggles with Sexuality.
So it is NOT a new concept.
It will keep things on track.The difference is that the struggles with sexuality forum is moderated to protect potentially vulnerable individuals. I'm not really sure who moderating the DR will protect. I do know however that it will significantly stifle discussion of policy.
Go look at the recovery forums. Are they discussing?Will the name of the forum be changed? Under the previous system i thought it was barely a discussion area and this new system will essentially stop discussion. I'm not necessarily saying that's a bad thing but i do think that the title of a forum should represent its purpose.
So the "new" DR is going to be a "moderated" forum meaning no posts are seable until a mod approves them?

And it sounds like the mechanism to view post and thread logs will be utilized to manage wisely.
Could i propose a third option rather than just aprove, disprove? I am worried in the potential abuse of the system whereby if one mod wants to arbitrarily slow down the DR then they simply need to forget to aprove or disprove posts for an hour or two. Perhaps a 'second opinion' button could be implemented which would mean that after reviewing a post a mod has to select one of the three options.
Probably a silly question but does Erwin have time to implement such a system? He's been absent quite a lot recently with quite a few bugs left unfixed. I haven't got a clue about internet programming but it seems to me like it would be a pretty big job to code up. Is this technically realistic by the 11th?
Conciliators will not have access to staff forums. Hopefully they feel there are trusted individuals on staff who can watchdog that process. Having worked very closely with the Support Team, they have my utmost confidence.Will the Conciliators have access to the edit logs so they can verify?
Standard staff actions which you are familiar with, including removal from staff in extreme cases.What sort of disciplinary actions?
I would hope each of us (on exec, on staff, on conciliatory, on membership) will be accountable to each other, as well as to the rest of the membership. Here's my open invitation to everyone to send me a PM if you feel that my response is uncharitable or a rule violation, and my promise that I'll take your comments to heart.What happens if the "offending" staff member is a member of the Exec, who would discipline them?

No. Just as I don't go into other areas of the board and start deleting or editing posts in forums I do not moderate.
