• 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.

What is reputation?
Its a system under which your posts can be rated by other fellow members. At any time you have a certain amount of reputation, which determins reputation status.

What are the possible reputation statuses?

Here's a listing (number of reputation required is on the left). Of course, this is all subject to change at any time.
-999999 User is infamous around these parts
-50 User can only hope to improve
-10 User has a little shameless behaviour in the past
0 User is an unknown quantity at this point
10 User is on a distinguished road
50 User will become famous soon enough
150 User has a spectacular aura about
250 User is a jewel in the rough
350 User is just really nice
450 User is a glorious beacon of light
550 User is a name known to all
650 User is a splendid one to behold
1000 User has much to be proud of
1500 User has a brilliant future
2000 User has a reputation beyond repute


How does one increase reputation?

Next to each post there is a "rate" button

. You can click on it and rate a post. When you approve a certain number of reputation will be altered in the user's rep who made the post. You can also leave a comment to explain your rating - the user will be able to see your comment and your name - reputation, unlike blessings, are not anonymous. Finally any scheme of "you rate me good, I'll do the same for you", will result in a long ban without warning.

How is determined the number of points that is given by a rating?

Whenever someone gives a rating, they go through a series of checks to determine "reputation altering power". The total of these checks is how much reputation is altered or added. Here are some examples:
-For every 365 number of days, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.
-For every 1000 number of posts, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.
-For every 100 points of reputation, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.
Additionally users with very little post count or very bad reputation will not have any reputation-altering power altogether.


For every 365 days registered, you gain 1 point of reputation-altering power*.

For every 100 posts, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power*.
You must have 100 posts before your reputation hits count on others.
You must have 100 reputation points before your reputation hits count on others.
You may only give 10 reputation clicks per 24-hour period.
You must give 20 users reputation clicks before you can hit the same person again.



Here would be an example: Lets say you have 300 posts, have been registered for just over a year and have a reputation of 100.

300 Posts: 3 Points
365+ Days: 1 Point
Rep of 100: 1 point

In this example, when you click this icon in someone's post, you can increase that person's reputation 5 points. You may only do this 10 times per 24-hour period and have to hit 20 users before you can hit the first person again.
