Open Membership is Ending: Final Poll to Determine When!

[Lisa0315]

Okay, it looks like we have a consensus that open membership should not continue indefinitely. In the earlier poll, there was a tie between effective immediately and wait 3 months (October).

This poll is to settle that tie. The poll will only run for 3 days and the results will be binding. (If everyone agrees...:sorry: )

[SingingElk]

I voted to close it immediately. I don't think anyone should just float in. I think their profile should be reviewed by at least five people. If five recommend them, then they are in. Even though I was accepted in the open membership scheme, I think that the profile should be reviewed.

[Debi1967]

I voted immediately as well, I have a problem with five members and think it should be three members though

[NewGuy101]

I voted october 1st and I also think it should just be 3 members. I don't know how you guys put a restriction of 5 without a members vote before hand (unless I missed it).

I also don't think the poll was very decisive I saw 3 categories with 7 votes...which isn't the majority.

[CyberPaladin]

I voted to end immedately with as many members as we have if you can't find 5 members to vote you in I would say there is some reason considering the size of the group we have here.

Here is a link to the Standard Questions for New Members wiki.

Remember when I kind of messed up and interrogated a new member? Someone suggested that we come up with some standard questions so that new members will not feel as if we are picking on them. I started it with five questions.

I don't think the number of questions should be over 20, but we need to cover all pertinant items.

Go see what you think of my five and add your own.

I like the idea of the standar boilerplate questions as long as we are allowed access to there post history to see if it adds up with what they're telling us.

Yes!!! We need to add that to the wiki that while they are applicants, they need to have their find all posts turned on.

Either that, or we ask them to present 5 posts that best represent their beliefs. That might be more fair than cherry picking ourselves. We all have bad days. I would hate to be judged on some of my posts.

He also commanded
No fornication
To honor our father and mother

Iows in Christ's own words he came not to do away with the Law but to fulfill it

Oh, but seriously, we should be having this conversation over in the wiki thread.

Well, He also said that if we kept the Love Commandment that we would keep all the others. Think on this. Every commandment can only be kept with the love of God within us.

As for the two commands, perhaps, I should call them by name to make them more clear.

Lisa

[SingingElk]

That is a good set of questions. It forces the candidate to think and filters out the ignorant. I don't know if we want ignorant people on this forum. You might get answers like "I dunno".

Actauly Lisa it probably would be better if we could look at everything rather than letting then cherry pick what they want us to see of them.

I hate to double post, but how about if I open a discussion thread on it? That way we don't fill up this one?

I tweaked it a bit. I was afraid that if I specified, then, it would lead into the answer. It is not a trick question, but it should come from the heart, not what they think we want them to say.

Ooh, I am going to use that phrase at the next Balance Sheet Meeting!!! :clap:

Anyway, there was a tie, Jim. I am very wary of "running" things and making decisions for the group because it is not my place, and I got accused of alot of things in the last "controversial" wiki I was involved with.

So, analysis paralysis, it has to be, but only to make sure that everyone has an equal say in this process.

Ok, hello? What on earth is going on here? Why should we have the right to view all posts? Why should people have to answer questions? When did it become 5 people voting them in?

CC is meant to be a light; not an exclusive country club.

Am beginning to find this genuinely distasteful. We have no right to view all posts, and we are not some examination board whereby people need to answer questions to warrant access. We aren't the Holy Grail. We're a forum on an internet board, and we need to be welcoming, because we are representing Christ. We are a Conservative Christian forum, and we now have a debate sub-forum and we have a wiki. Making people jump through hoops just so they can call themselves a member is unacceptable. 3 people voting them in and their acceding to our wiki is plenty.

Is 51% a consensus?

That's excatly what I said, I don't understand how the rules were changed without member approval. BTW question 5 is absolutely a waste of time, the other 4 just reinforce the rules.

No, but 77.5% is.

People made errors in voting for Q1, so if you only look at Q2, you will see that 24 out of 31 total votes wanted to close membership at some point. There was a tie between immediately and 3 months (October).

I don't know if we can trust the results of such a flawed poll.

Was there an original discussion of closed membership that led to the creation of a poll?

[GreenMunchkin]

I don't even know where to look, bro. But it's not happening, and it's as simple as that. One or two people arbitrarily writing it in does not make it a rule. We are not going to test people, or check up on them like we're somehow better than them. We should be thrilled when people want to join. Wow, the arrogance is astonishing. Which sticky is it in? Some of us need to go in there and get rid of this latest crap.

[Lisa0315]

If it is flawed, it is not my fault. I cannot help it if people mess up their votes. If I remember correctly, there was one change from no to yes, and there was one who didn't vote yes at all, but had voted in the close timelines, so in essence it was a vote for yes. If I were to correct this, then it would be an 80.6% in favor of closing the open membership.

However, discounting both of these votes, there is still a 77.5% in favor of closing membeship at some point.

You cannot use these two votes to discount the poll.

There was alot of discussion about closing membership. For example, we had at least one liberal who wanted to join, and then, there was the sad case of one who wanted desperately to join, but is known to change her beliefs every other day. There was also, very early on, a concern about one person who was an extreme fundamentalist and he would have removed Tradition (or tradition if you choose) from our Statement of Belief.

This is not about excluding people. These things are only tools to help us discern whether that member is here to cause problems or not, or whether they truly hold Conservative values.

But I think we need to revisit this entire idea. The poll options were either: closed membership or open membership. It didn't leave a lot of room for alternate ideas. We didn't really discuss it.

We need to do that before we poll it.

I am fine with that. This is the whole problem with wikis and member controlled rules in my opinion.

When we think that we have a consensus, then, those who did not participate come back later and say that there was no discussion about it. There was discussion, but it is hard to get all 60+ members into one discussion, and it is difficult to know when we have a consensus or not.

I am fine with whatever people suggest.

As a future mod, my chief concern is how to make our forum the most peaceful. So, it is totally up to y'all. I am but one voice here...:)

Now, Come on! This is part of the process! If you don't agree, then, speak up about it. You have to stay. You are one of the heartbeats here. You are critical to this forum. Every single person here is. :hug:

We are looking for extremists on either side. However, as far as I am concerned, we can continue having open membership forever. However, at some point, we have to make a decision. I mean, the way I see it is half the membership voted, but no matter how many times I tried to get people to vote, in the end only 31 members voted. Of those 31, there is a consensus to close membership.

We are not going to be able to please everyone with everything. We have to understand that from the beginning. So, if we have strong disagreement on any subject, we need to ask ourselves how important any one issue is to us. If it is do or die, so be it. If it is something that we can compromise on, let's try to compromise.

We must look for that middle ground and remember to love one another in the process. :hug:

I remember when my workplace was all male. Yeah, guys'll fight, but usually it's over quick and life goes on.

Then the ladies showed up and as a manager I really didn't know how to handle them; the guy rules didn't work well, so I would just sorta roll with it as best I could, learning a few things along the way but not enough. The longterm grudges and sniping were...unsettling, considering that the average age of those ladies was around 52 (considerably older than me years ago). Watching all this reminds me of all the reasons I got outta management.

Ladies, put on your gloves and...no wait, that was a guy thing...:D

I didn't post in the other poll because I was still thinking about my answer and then what with busyness and all of CF's bugs of late time ran out.
I wonder if those who didn't get in under the wire will feel a bit disenfranchised when they come here and realize that they can't just sign up to be a member, but have to jump through hoops just because they weren't the early bird?

Greenie honey I think a better question is how many hoops are they going to have to jump through it looks as if the standard questions aren't going to be used and if all you have to do is post yes I want to be a member and wait for a few people to look through your post history see if your a troll or have your friend say I knew from whereever either board related or in real life and there a good conservative that isn't much as far hoops go. As matter of fact if there is question and discussion about the person membership it's probably because they're a poor fit.

Oh..well, it's just a sign in sheet. Your supposed to post a message of some sort like..."I'm a conservative christian"...etc. :) So then your name is on the roster and we count you as a member.

I thought maybe there was something wrong with your link Jim...:)

I didn't see any posts like that on the sign-up sheet. :scratch:

Oh DUH,NV! That's what happens when one skim-reads,LOL! :doh: :blush: :blush:

I voted October. We need to give the people some times to leave this forum, if they are here. Give people some times to adapt to the changes.

[~*Lady Trekki*~]

Are we close to finding a consensus on this?

[soblessed53]

It looks like Immediately is slightly ahead,but newbies and others may still join later,right?

Having returned from a weekend away I find I am disenfranchised, but oh well. It would be nice for there to be a resolution. So do we have one considering that this is supposed to be final and it's now closed?

Yes, but they will need to have a sponsor. I guess we're still working on all those details. :)

Whoops...didn't notice it was closed. :o

Perhaps we should go with the majority then? Though it's pretty even keeled. :doh:

Well, uh, yes, that is how it works.

So what about the way one becomes a member hereafter? 5 supporters, right?i

Ugh Albion...you wont believe it but we still haven't decided! :doh: I'll let you read about the whole thing because there's alot more to it than just a simple answer.

How is THIS being decided? Or maybe the question is, don't the rules already specify this?

[soblessed53]

Yes, but they will need to have a sponsor. I guess we're still working on all those details. :)


Ok, I thought that was how I understood it,Thank You.:)

[Albion]

Assuming that you mean sponsors, 3 or 5, as our rules have long required, I'm all for it and glad that this is being settled at last. Thanks for the explanations.

When you say "still working on it" I hope that it's the details of how to go about securing the sponsorship, how to apply, etc. that you are referring to, and not that there's still some debating of "how many."
