New rules

[Jim47]

Our CC forum specific rules are no longer in effect. This announcement has been made in the new staff forums by our senior staffer.

There will be updates in the rule/faq soon, but for now please use the site wide rules as a guide.

And would CC staff please unstick all CC forum specific rules and bans.

Once the new rules are posted I believe you will have some guidelines as to what you are allowed to do with special rules.

I want to be reimbursed for all the wasted time and effort, please! :D

Hey! I got a strike but never got a PM about it.

What is up with that?

:clap:

I appreciate this especially after the recent spite report wars....
So thanks to everyone involved with this rule decision. I look forward to a forum with some semblance of peace - it was our goal all along (I think we just went around the mountain for 40 years to get there). :swoon:
*slams head into wall* :help:

Was this announced to OBOB and other Congregational Fora?
Is this ALL congregations or are we being targeted?

:mad:

I am happy about the LeeD announcement but how will it help the forum? Not sure I am clear on that...

[Rep Daddy]

I do not see this announcement in OBOB, SR, WWMC.

WHY just US ????

[ContentInHim]

Steve, if this is not in the other congregational fora it must mean that only our rules caused heartburn. But we knew that, didn't we? :)

[Lisa0315]

:doh:

Or there is a rational logical explanation...

ok.... I thought this was just our mods that altered the CC rules for us due to the mass spite reporting??? :scratch:

Color me confused. I dunno.

[ContentInHim]

LeeD announced that his OP post in Announcements would become basic 4U rules. But I did think he said he would consider whether different congregations could have additional rules. But that thread is soooo long and my eyes are way tooo tired to re-read it. Steve is saying that Jim47's OP here apparently ONLY APPLIES TO CCC - probably because we are such a pain in the backside to the whole 4U site!

CC member and proud of it! :thumbsup:

This is OUTRAGEOUS (http://foru.ms/showpost.php?p=40339339&postcount=38)

My reply

So a majority of our mods are swept aside and ordered to comply?

*sigh* CC is toast.

[Jim47]

The main reason I posted this was that I know we have a point system here which works towards an fsb. That will no longer be in effect as CC rules are, but we will have new rules and new ban procedures soon. I posted this a caution only so no one would get banned under rules which are no longer in place. Is that wrong? :confused:

Who directed you to post this in OUR forum? Why is this not posted in other congregational fora.

I will ask until you answer.

Part of LeeD's announcement protects the congregational fora. The announcement is here (http://foru.ms/showpost.php?p=40274972&postcount=1). The rule reads like this:

Congregational Forums wishing to remain safe havens may choose to limit debate to members of their own denomination, insist that all posts conform to their creed etc.

The only part of our rules that does not apply is the FSB rules, however, the SoF and the no debate rules still apply. ONLY members of CC are allowed to debate and post non fellowship posts in this forum.

I expect to receive a nastygram any minute myself.

I've about had it with all mods above our own. :sigh:

[Rep Daddy]

CiH, your comment was right on target. They can sweep it under the rug, but you are right.

[Rep Daddy]

Looks like a power-play in the wake of major change. That often happens. It is less noticed that way.

This is not true Henry, its been posted in the admin forum by next in command to Lee.

I'm proud of our mods - they did the right thing and were steamrollered by the Admins. I think I'm going to download that whole thread for historical purposes. :sick:

Well, maybe we should make it noticeable? :P

What about if someone who is not a member of a certain congregational forum (for example, I am not a member of the Eastern Orthodox forum but I like to occasionally post there to ask questions) who wants to inquire about information regarding the denomination of that forum? For learning purposes? Would they not allowed to do this?

I was able to email myself the whole page from reports - so if it gets "disappeared", we can still reference it.

I wonder if we can launch an appeal for Auntie?

*asking nicely*

Can somebody who understands what's going on w/ the admin. over our mods & rule details please explain it in layperson's terms as to what's going on?

Thanks for any help.

Is the announcement not true? Are other congregational forums also loosing their identity? Can I now go debate in other congregational fora where I am not a member?
I am a Baptist so can anyone now debate in the Baptist forum? Can anyone debate in the Catholic forum? Can anyone debate in TAW?

The day that even one of the Congregational forums is not a safe haven, is the day that none of them are safe havens. If we go down, so does every other Congregational forum.

Jim, please quote from Lee where he has stated what you posted in our CC forum. I know you are doing your best and your intentions are good.

[IamRedeemed]

I saw this in Lee's post which I think pretty much validates what Hen said: :scratch:

"Congregational Forums wishing to remain safe havens may choose to limit debate
to members of their own denomination, insist that all posts conform to their creed etc."

It wasn't Lee, it was his right hand man and its posted only in the admin/SA forum for now.

[ContentInHim]

Does this mean that non-WOF can post in WOF now? :confused:

Why not leave us alone and referee the Mormons.
