I was asked to post on this thread in a PM so i will. And I will mirror what I said in some other post in context to some of the things that have been said. I did not reply With Quote because I do not want anyone to think it is specifically you I am speaking about. SO if this doesn't apply to you then please just let it go. We as Mods get many many complaints daily from you and many of you here and you know who you are bring your concerns and we are trying to address them, deal with them, and respond to them with much grace and patiences. Some have built strawmen in the mind that is some way they maybe Banned for a disagreement , or argument concerning a topic, doctrine , or bible position. let me say it again NO you will not. If some one bring a teaching that is unbiblical, error, or false it will take some time to work out the persona motives. So just because you think they should be banned as soon as they post or say something you believe to be an error, false , or wrong doesn't mean it will happen. SOrry the whole place would be empty.

The concerns and issues that have and will be addressed are:
insults
name calling
labeling those who you do not agree wit or those who do not agree with you on topics
displaying information about people who may have told you something about them in apm and post it on a thread or they posted it on another thread and you bring up in anew thread. For what reASON WHY WOULD ONE DO THAT?
There are those who continue attack then try to use mods to get people banned. and when it does't happen they speak that CC is in some way supporting false teaching , heresies, and unbiblical doctrine.

All we are doing is using respect to you :) and common sense . NO I am not going to tell you about another persons leaving it is private surely you understand we in CC cannot tell you anything about another member other than what is the gen norm. " we were good friends . I love the brother or sister " Great ! get the info from them. Or speak to Admin. So many of you here are very good at making your voices heard and I can tell you I agree with a lot of you and disagree wit some too and guess what it's ok if you don'r agree with me I could be wrong :).
So don't take it personal if you are spoken to or even given an infraction Those who have left as of late many of them did so at their request. And were not banned. IF they left many of them do come back. God bless you all.

If you need anything please pm me or use the thread tools on CC
thank you,
Thank you! Honestly, honestly thank you! THIS is most of what I was worried about. And me in the frilly dress with too much starch meant something to me. I have chosen to wear the dress as of late. (Be more ladylike.) But the way things have come down lately, it also felt like too much starch. It chaffed. That's what was making me itchy. Now putting this together with how mods act, I get it. Dressed up, but not starched up. (Act better, but not ridged.)

I get this distinct feeling you do think I'm causing more waves than I am. I am a legalist, but not in the Biblical sense of that. I park within the white lines, (rearrange the car to get right in the middle too), cannot cross a double yellow line even if someone broke down in front of me unless a cop waves me around, and never did visit hubby outside of visiting hours even though the staff kept telling me I could. I do that because I don't want to cause someone else extra work, but I do want to still get what I needed within the rules. My family calls me anal. (I wish it was a politer term, but at least you get I'm not insulting anyone else.) I agree with them.

The rules changed on here, and I've been honestly trying to figure out where the white lines are so I can park again.

God had me dress up better before anything changed around here, so I honestly don't mind the changes. But that fear of too much starch neart killt me. So stay in dress, but stop worrying about starch. Doable.

Still, I really do think, for your ease (that you don't have to keep explaining this same thing to any new person like me over and over again and so you can very much just be yourself) when you're on mod duty just Mod as your name would work better. That gives you -- CS1 -- the option of just having a good ole time being you without everyone freaking out because they think strict-grandpa just walked in the room.

But thank you thank you thank you! Finally a relatively clear answer to the question I've been trying to ask for about a week. I feel like someone visiting got my bedroom, and they just left so I'm back in my old bedroom able to be comfortable again. This place just came back to home. Cool, since I came close to walking away again. Thank you!

(And CS1 might well be thinking, "Ah, nuts! Almost got rid of her." lol)

Thank you! You may have considered this long suffering, but you just gave me an extra side of patience. Thank you.

If someone is acting out I always figured the mods would attempt a correction. And not just with me but with anyone. We all need some correction from time to time.

Mods can't be all that bad. I haven't been banned yet.
