  • 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

The dog grabbed a cup of coffee off the table and spilled it all over the carpet yesterday. Our oldest was home for almost 3 hours before I got there and didn't even pick up the cup. I don't blame her for not shampooing the carpet, but to not even pick up the cup? Seriously?

So I'm out camping all weekend long. Had 120 girls and 30 parents to look after. I get back to a house where nothing had been done, but my hubby swears he did the "grocery shopping" I call B.S. he spent $130 at the store, but I am not seeing any groceries. We are out of everything: Trash Bags, Laundry Soap, Dish Soap, Veggies (there is not a single veggie canned, frozen or fresh in this house) Cat Food, Kitty Litter, Paper Towels, Toliet Paper, Window Cleaner, Meats....nothing! What in the world did he spend $130 at the store for?

I don't know how I'm suppose to take a "-1" as a rep as anything but insulting. Which never seem like something you'd do. But who knows. I just wish if you were going to insult me you'd do it on the board were its out in the open. Just so you know, you were one of the Christians that I use to look up to on this site.

It's a way of giving someone a quick comment without posting publicly or firing off a PM or Visitor Message. You can see the rep comments in your UserCP below your subscribed threads. Rep comments also give them "rep points" which display on your profile. The more points you get, the "cooler" you are...so to speak.

I probably over-use the rep feature myself to give comments.

I didn't know anyone COULD give negative rep. That's pretty cheap...

How to do it? People just say insulting things (like the "-1" to MoonKitty) through the rep comment. It doesn't actually take away points....but, those points don't really have any value anyway. It seems even more offensive than any comments made in a thread or on a visitors page........because it's completely done in secret....away from view of others.

Right. CF doesn't allow up or down rating a post like you can on YouTube for example. But you can make a negative rep comment if you choose.

I've gotten in trouble in the past for giving negative rep comments...usually responding to an obvious troll post. I know better.

I'm going to vent about myself. I'm so sick of the way I am constantly putting things off and not making time for important things. And yeah, I know, I could just get up and do it. And I do try. The spirit is willing but the flesh is definitely weak so to speak.

.......*ouch* that's something I can relate to (the garage being a disaster out of lack of motivation). It's full of decisions I don't want to make (keep or get rid of). I'm afraid of making decisions I will regret.....so, I just don't make them.

Because I was thinking about this topic, while my son had to stand in the garage and sand his rocket for Cub Scouts, I cleaned up the garage a bit. It's amazing how many things the kids will just toss out of the car and leave on the floor in the garage - trash, clothes, shoes, projects and kitchen items. I threw out so much crap last night. The garage is vastly improved from about 20 minutes of work.
