EA, I agree with you.

Would YOU have time to sit in your chair and read every single post to monitor content on this forum? Oh, wait...Apparently you do, because you have time to criticize us for NOT doing so. :D

I do not plan at any time in the future to constantly sit in this chair and babysit members of this forum. Posters here are adults, and they are responsible for their own postings. If someone posts content that doesn't need to be here, it's up to the other members to report those posts.

There is a reported post area. If and when there are problem threads, this forum is SELF MODERATED (or at least it's supposed to be) and members are asked to use the REPORT button to send reports of problem threads. That area is checked several times a day by me personally-- as well as every other active admin. I can't even remember when the last reported post was made-- except for someone reporting a spammer. So if there's something worth reporting that needs admin attention-- members aren't bothering to do so.

Action taken on posts sent to that area is not publicly announced, so if you have reported something --don't automatically assume that we haven't done anything about it.

As I've already stated, I am busy working with church youth camps, and volunteering 8 or 9 hours a day in the church owned thrift store. I also am director of activites for the Young at Heart group at our church. I also have a house to take care of, a huge garden to work in, and quite frankly my family needs more of my time than this forum does.

Forgive me if I don't consider babysitting members and monitoring every word that is posted on this forum at the top of my list of things to do every day.

If you want to hire someone to take care of all my other responsibilities in life, then I'll be happy to sit here and read threads to monitor content. :D

The admins & owners of this forum do have a life offline. If you are bothered by how the owners aren't involved in the daily content of this forum, so much so that you have to compare what we do to what Jim Yohe did many years ago with FCF-- I would suggest that you try getting a life yourself. :)

I've wasted enough time in this thread. I need to help my children get their stuff packed for another week of youth camp.

Tina,

Look at their post count - - - you probably wasted too much time responding to them.

Probably someone with lots of aliases already that gets assigned random IP's with every post. :D

I'm out... have way too much going on today to be sitting here.

No, he did not. They were just like this forum. They had a POST REPORTING TOOL that the users were responsible to use. It's like that on other forums too unless you have a moderator for each thread who has time to read every post.

We read threads but we are not able to read every thread

Let it be known that I am deeply thankful for a place like AFF. I am mature enough to know we may all have different veiws...It does not bother me when people have different veiws...I preached last night knowing there were a couple in the church visiting that do not believe in women preachers...it did not bother me...I was annointed, the alter filled with hungry souls, two were baptized...so it is with a forum we cannot let those that may feel different than us cause us to start calling people names or whatever...Just be what you are! ( and if you don't like it here...well...go somewhere else...) ha....

They let me hang out here and they tolerate me here so that's why I come here.

That's just it. There are MANY other places to go. Many "amen corners" to hang out in if that is someone's taste -and apparently it IS for many. This is one of only 2 or 3 boards that allow some of the more sacred cows/doctrines to be discussed and even....... questioned!
