• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Where did the debate threads go?

I am not sure the intention was to remove the debate threads, just the policies subforum. That subforum was not needed as members do not make policy. It was left over from 777.
Will check into it.

See, I let it go for a while figuring someone would fix things, but the debate section is still gone...however the EO (of which the esteemed Tonks is member) and others still have their debate sections, so just still wondering if an admin or mod with some gnads wants to find our debate threads and return them to their proper place...

The "Ask" and "Debate" sections are gone in the Fundie forum as well, which means apparently anyone is welcome to start debates in the general Fundamentalist area now. I was hoping we'd be able to revive the Fundie area for like-minded Christians to fellowship, but maybe that was a pipe dream. :(

The congregational rule is in effect both here and in the Fundie forum:

Congregation Forums
Forum members who are not a member of that denomination may not debate in that denomination's area. Questions and fellowship are allowed, proselytizing is not.

My suggestion is to 1) report posts and threads that may be in violation of the above and 2) start a thread in the suggestion/complaint forum if you find you are still having issues. I'd also ask you to be patient while staff continues to look into the situation.

Fair enough, but I'd rather have questions from non-believers moved to the "ask" or "debate" forums instead of having to report them and having their threads removed. It ends up looking like we're prejudiced if we don't want debate treads in the main forums otherwise.

So it's not in effect in the EO forum?
