i need to speak to the "people in charge" of this forum. christian things have become slim for me to get involved in since so many churches, etc. have become cultic, influenced by false doctrine, stuff like that but at the same time i still need to commune with my fellow christians, you guys are supossedly the best christian forum i found and still, so sketchy (sorry but true) to me. i am patient, but once again, i am a hair away from losing my patience with a "christian" organized anything again. first of all, i've been on enough non-christian forums, to know that this forum is complicated. the rules aren't clear and the terms like "pm"ing aren't clear, not to mention i only use computers in every day life when i have to. then, the usual over-protective "we are all warriors of God" behaviour started up again on the "light convo" chat room where i was bombarded by insults and the one "constructive loving 'rebuking' criticism" (which is hard for me to do with my personality anyway) that i gave to one person was received as "attacking" the person. so i gave up. i know that the mods are not responsible for unloving, non-christian people, but if they are really paying attention SO much then why didn't they intervene when i was being attacked. i made a mistake and was not, as a newbie, kindly & clearly redirected, instead the "mods" kept cutting off what i was saying with no explanation so i didn't even know what was happening to me until someone in the chat room finally spoke up in a nasty way. i just thought the screen changed for some other reason until they said that. do you really want this forum to help people? think about it. then, instead of being kindly & CLEARLY redirected the people in the chat room insulted me. all i wanted was some help, check out the post "panic attacks". that is the story i put in the chat room but not knowing it was "wrong" until it was yelled at me and then i finally did the right thing and found the "panic attacks section" with my tail between my legs like a dog. they claim they didn't yell at me but they did. after suggesting (instead of explaining): you "might" want to write this story somewhere else (so then of course i thought it was a "suggestion" and not a rule so i kept talking) they were talking to each other in front of me: why is she on here! so annoying! then they finally, in a mean way, said to me: get out of here! your story doesn't belong on here! don't you "get it" (like i'm stupid or something), the mods keep starting over because of you! what is wrong with you, why don't you get it! well, now i have a bad rep, 'cause they also "reported" me when i stood up for myself 'cause no one should be talked to that way and now no one will respond to my posts. in more than five days only 33 people have read my ADD post and only one nice person took the time to respond, why? because a few mean people in a chat room and mods not "maintaining" didn't protect my reputation from myself, being a newbie. people see the "13" rep and go away, i think, so see....can someone please fix my rep. i made a mistake. i'm not mean/ a threat. just human and especially a newbie. if my rep. doesn't get fixed ASAP by the mods or some "staff"; and i don't see people communing openly with me on this forum SOON, my boyfriend and i's theory about christianity and christian gatherings will only be verified and i will not return to this forum ever again; and I will seek non-chrisitian forums for advice and healthy debates from now on. THERE IS NO NEED FOR THIS STRESS. like i said, please help and fix my rep. one of my friends has 1000 somethin'. mine is 13! understand. i would not have brought up this subject of the chat room incident again if i didn't have such an unfair low rep. because of it; and wasn't so affected by my low rep. since i am being "ignored" when i post threads. thanks for all your help "staff". i'm not attacking, just a little frustrated and trying to fix a problem (which is not me, which is one of the nasty things one of the people in the chat room also said "about me". nice (sarcasm).). if you want my opinion, i should have reported them for foul play. the power of life and death are in the tongue, though it be a small part, it can do GREAT things. i admit i kind of blew up that day in the chat room when everyone started attacking me, but who wouldn't be tempted to? & i apologized to them for that. i just want a fresh start. ok? again, thanks.

Please help me understand your situation. I'm having trouble understanding.
If speaking of the reputation number in the upper right corner, your rep is fine.
As someone who just joined the board, you shouldn't have a high reputation level yet.
Everyone starts at 10 when the sign up. As others read their posts and approve, they can add to your rep, so someone has already added to yours.
Is this the problem?

thanks for responding. i had no idead my rep. was ok. that's the problem with this forum. it is too complicated. it is way harder to figure out than my tax returns! rules are there but they are vague or not explained properly, then they don't explain things to you. people like you end up doing it, or people "being mean to me" tell me on the chat room. it's sad. one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit is longsuffering and another is kindness. especially since i am a "newbie" you would think they would consider this and the mods would start over the other people's mean behaviour in the chat room and not mine since i was not "flaming" anyone! ok, so i guess i do have a fresh start. sad. i just wanted to enjoy some healthy debate about religion and stuff on a christian forum and get answers in a simple way. thanks and have a good day.

then they don't explain things to you.

If you would like to know more about reputation (in addition to that what Herev already told you), click on the link to the reputation FAQ below

If you have any other questions, post them and someone will give an answer. :)


the terms like "pm"ing aren't clear,


"pm'ing" is short for "private messaging": every CF member has a private message box and can send and receive message to/from other CF members.
Sort of like an email account ... the difference being: you can only sent messages within CF (you cannot use the private message feature to send an email to a yahoo email account (for example).
