Temporary circumstances, your case about being one of the bad people, got you covered, "I'm black but beautiful" song of songs.

Im hearing a lot of discouragement from brothers and sisters about the BDF and the hateful nonsense that goes on there. People are wanting to leave CC because of the issues there. Its been often said that mods are volunteers and are unable to keep up with the issues in the BDF. Is it not possible to give authority to some long standing,trusted members here? I know there are people who have been here many,many years and are trusted members. It may a stupid idea but we really need to come up with something. Things are getting way too out of hand and no one seems to feel we can get a mod when needed. Something has to be done or the best of CC will be gone.
Varied thoughts:

-- Aren't trusted members trustworthy because they're smart enough not to want to mod?

-- How long has this question come up? When has it ever changed anything?

-- The truth is apparently it works as-is for a business plan, because if it didn't, it would be changed.

-- Truthfully 97-98% of the good people do leave, however, enough new people join that the numbers are increasing.

It's sad that the good people are leaving....
It seems those that we don't like are stronger willed though.... maybe if we can work on trying to ignore those who speak about things we disagree with or don't like?...
Remember when you were a newbie? Would you have stayed if we gave free rein to those who already think they reign free? If no one said anything at any time, then it would look like the Royal Rumble. And yet, it kind of does anyway. I usually speak up because I worry that the newbies or the babes will think we're all that, if no one does.

Ever notice my intent doesn't always work at execution?

I bet you'd fail, and I only bet on sure things. :)

1. We probably need WAY more mods than we do now in the BDF.

2. Perhaps certain topics should be banned from being discussed there.

3. Blow up that toxic nuclear wasteland with land mines.
let me guess.
Law vs Grace,right?:confused:

I just want to say something.....it is a sad day when people who name Jesus are so easily offended by a chat site that has a little heat in it that they have to leave like it is the end of the world.....regardless of belief we are called to defend the truth as prepared for battle and make no mistake this is a war for the souls of men and women.....I have been called every thing but white in the BDF by those who disagree with me and yet I still go there every day to post and defend the word of God without being offended and or tucking tail and running away....I love the BDF...it keeps me on my toes, forces me to view scripture from everyone's perspective and YES I have learned and gleaned some truth from particular members and also strengthened my resolve concerning what I personally believe....I have on occasion apologized for being rough and lacking tact and or saying particular things, but at the end of the day if JESUS would have folded like some here when faced with what he went through we would ALL be on the way to a devil's hell......if one cannot handle the "sword play" and or heat that comes with discussing religion then don't go in the BDF......it is that SIMPLE...to be HONEST...I for one am tired of all the mouthy statements about the BDF....It is the BEST place I have found to discuss, argue and post about the bible on the entire web.....lastly.....God's children should not be so easily offended and if one or you cannot handle a little heat from an opposing view in a CHAT SITE then you are going to be in REAL trouble when the REAL persecution comes from the world....make no mistake....WE ALL as believers will be ostracized, imprisoned and or KILLED for the truth in the very near future....PUT your pants on and make a stand for the truth and not be so easily offended....

IF ANY ARE OFFENDED by this....I APOLOGIZE NOW, but I speak these words with NO HEAT, or attitude toward anyone......as I pray for ALL even if I THINK what you believe is contrary........

DAVE
This is a little heat.


This is BDF



And as for defending the truth? Spending my life proving I'm right and your wrong has very little to do with "defending truth." It's "defending ego."

I haven't been on BDF since this morning, but I can guarantee at least 90% of that first page is full of arguments over side issues. Not God! Side issues. It's all either conjecture or what-do-I-get-out-of-God. And, seriously? Exactly how long a defense do you give when obviously no one is listening anyway? Has anything fruitful come of that arguing? (And fruitful is what we give, not what we get.)

Also, what's to apologize for if there is no intent to change? All you've said is "man up." Where is that in the gospel?

You changed your avatar pic. I didn't even recognize you. I was reading, then it hit me, that's Depleted. I'm so use to you having the same avatar pic. I like the new one. It's colorful and cheery.

I've taken to changing my avatar the first of every month. But, I think most folks associate me with stuffed animals anyway, so they all look the same. If you look closely, I still have the stuffed animals in the pic. (It was a stuffed animal garden tea party. lol)

This is one of very few pictures of me that I looked photogenic. (Also younger, so yay. lol)

i posted a thead asking to become a mod

hahaha

but ugly rightfully pointed out thats not the way to go about it
It's a hard job being a mod . It can suck the enjoyment out of being on a forum. Being impartial is very hard bro .
Your favorite poster goes toe to toe with the newest forum jerk ,but this time the jerk is in the right . Your favorite poster is out of line . Situations like that makes things hard . Good mods will quickly discover they have very few friends on a message board. Then all the pms will keep ya reading. It's hard bud it is not really what you think it might be .
Blessings

I wouldn't mind being a MODERATOR,after all I am on here nearly 24/7 (only work usually 3 days a week)and I can spot threads that are completely out the window,like the"Earth is stationary and Flat"'thread I mean as far as religion goes sure it's still having a different view on the bible,but when a thread becomes more about conspiracy and speculation it should be deleted or moved to a different forum(already reported two ridiculously pointless threads as such suggesting removal to another forum)though unfortunately if an actual computer is required then I would not be able to help,because I only have an Android phone for internet to talk on here,but at least I never plan on leaving ever,because I for one like answering questions honestly and compassionately alongside the holy spirit,as well as Welcoming new comers,kind of brightens my day each time Welcoming someone no matter what their religion here to Christian Chat,It feels about the same as physically shaking hands with them when greeting as if this were the house of the lord!

yeah I hear ya,I have some fun,but captain goat did annoy some people making about 3 or more threads that were nearly I dentical so I'm not surprised if anybody's a little pestered with singles forum,not to mention unrelated threads like"post something random" thread in there,that sort of thread should be in miscellaneous.

You just brought up something interesting. I actually don't type any differently on any particular forum.
So all this falderal about the BDF seems kind of silly to me. It's all CC.

I don't believe the world is flat, but I don't see how a thread or discussion violates the terms of use.

People get really butt hurt when they find another doesn't agree with their beliefs. Must be a genetic mutation after WWII that caused peoples skin to grow thinner.
