New community TOS

[stovebolts]

A new forum.
Because unless a person is specifically looking for this TOS thread,,,they won't see it.

Instead FORUMS are visible by scrolling down the Forums page.
A new forum named "TOS DISCUSSIONS" or Tos Ideas or something that represents what we're doing here.

See how easy that was
We do hear you, and we respond! I really want this to be a time where the community comes together.
The Statement of faith is next

Hi H,
You gave me a LIKE for a couple of posts on this thread.
I'm not sure StoveBolts and Razeontherock can see that.

Maybe you could RESPOND to it in the future, this way they'll both know that you agree with my idea since we ALL will have a say in this....

Okay, sorry, sometimes I just assume a like means that I agree with that person, but yes I do agree with you because sooner or later this thread is going to get further and further down the list because of all the topics posted here until it disappears into nothingness. If we had a separate forum for this like we do with the classes we wouldn't have that problem and I think we should because this topic is extremely important. Or at least mark it as pinned or sticky or whatever so everybody will always be able to see it.

Now that we have a new forum for our discussions, why don't we use new threads that ONLY staff will create to keep this organized.
Razeontherock , what if you create a thread, make it a sticky and lock it. That will be thread you keep the finalized version at.
Then, each subsequent section of the TOS gets it's own thread. Title them numerically.

Of course, this is just a suggestion, but it kind of gives us some better options. Thanks for suggesting this wondering

I agree obviously I didn't realize we had it until I looked up. It was an excellent idea. And thanks to the staff for allowing our voices to be heard.

No problem H,
This way EVERYONE sees what each of us thinks.

You and R could work this out however you wish to.
I'm keeping an updated copy of all the changes on my side...

Another thought....
When we have the first "section" on a thread to which we can participate and give input....

Would it be a good idea to send everyone a PM to bring this to their attention? I don't see anyone really posting on here...OR, just wait and see what happens.

Those interested will probably notice the new forum anyway.

If there's enough input, it may not be necessary though...
We'll see I guess.

This is what I was alluding to with the bubble when our Community Message first came out. Just some way to make sure everything sees it.

I'll just go with the flow
To be honest, I like it the way it is,

I agree. If there are changes, not a lot and I also like the way it is not because I have been around a long time; but because I have seen how other forums work and compared to that this is a splendid place with good moderators who seem to spend more time caring than correcting. I have noticed that we don't seem to be getting trolls like so many do and that is because of the way the administrators and staff have set things up.

Thank you. We've worked really hard to get here.
We've plowed the ground and planted some seed which are taking root.

Aww shucks - thanks.

Still working out some bugs, but I hope to have something presented for your input soon.

Our problems with the current version is it doesn't direct anyone towards goodness, it's a real bore to read so it likely gets ignored, anything helpful is buried, and it's not very useful for most things we encounter in the rare instance when staff does need to step in.

That's why we've ignored it, making strides towards creating an uplifting community in other ways. We're getting there! We believe that should be the purpose of a Christian forum, and it should be in stark contrast to the rest of the internet where people mostly just troll each other.

So now we've made enough progress to be able to address this ...

 

[Northman]

Are you guys still brainstorming or is there a place where we can see where the changes are or have been made?

Razeontherock will start posting new threads for each subsection soon. Once a subsection is posted, it will be up for discussion and then put into a final draft.

 

[Razeontherock]

Ok the first section is now in post #2 here as a record, and I'll put it in a new thread where we'll work on it.

Hey there. That is our current TOS and like I said, it needs some work

That conversation is going on in this thread.

I got a chuckle out of your last part there - good catch!

This is exactly the sort of thing we're hoping for ...
