I'm really pleased with the progress that was made in 2008. I think that CTF as whole made some major growth. Not only member and activity wise but also spiritual and maturity wise. I think that even though some not so great decisions were made (in my opinion) a lot of good ones were made to even out the balances.
QUOTE A new theme would be awesome. I would be really happy to see the snow flakes go away. -- That said there are a few things that I would like to address that I see CTF in great need of. 1) We need a mission statement. What is the purpose of CTF, plain and simple. 2) Where is that privacy policy again? Why doesn't the menu link to it? 3) What is the "Media Kit" ? Get this fixed as well! 4) The "Contact Us" doesn't work either. 5) There was once talk of a "ban appeal form". Why isn't this available somewhere if it does exist? If it doesn't perhaps it needs to be created. Note: I can post all of the above in the "Suggestions & Gripes" section if need be. QUOTE The rules have been recently updated by Huw and I. Condensed, refined, etc. so they make more sense; don't repeat themselves. We'd be open to anyone suggesting a change/addition in places. But they'd have to show they were competent enough to follow them first. I'm so glad you guys are catching up to the updates I proposed to the rules about 6 months ago. *heart warms* -- That's about all I have to say for 2008. I'm glad that we've done some growing up and we're moving forward. Bring on 2009! |

QUOTE 1) We need a mission statement.

Why doesn't the menu link to it? http://www.christianteenforums.com/Christian-Teen-Forums-and-C-t36980.html The last two topics are pinned in the "Forum Information and News" forum. We could link them somewhere else, I guess. QUOTE 5) There was once talk of a "ban appeal form". Why isn't this available somewhere if it does exist? If it doesn't perhaps it needs to be created. There very much is a ban appeal form and has been for quite some time. It's emailed to a member when they get banned.

How about a page on CTF etiquette? You could put in here some of the things that you can't put into the rules because they're just loose guidelines (such as 50 fullstops after every sentence isn't necessary, and endlessly bumping your dead topic). Just to help out the newbies and stop everyone else from going a little crazy from those sorts of things.
Also, maybe if the graphics team could make a basic thing on how to make your own siggy/avvy for all those who know what they want, and want to make it themselves, but don't know how. Just some ideas. |

Wow, sounds like 2009 is going to be an amazing year! I hope a Wiki does come about, it could be a GREAT resource.

Okay, I have added the Mission Statement to the link of About us...and made the Privacy Policy actually goto the right spot. As for the Contact Us and Media Kit... Those will be added in the near future.

No one needs a ban appeal form unless they have been banned. What would they do with it?

QUOTE No one needs a ban appeal form unless they have been banned. What would they do with it? To be entirely honest, I just want to read the thing and see what it says and what's involved with submitting it. Why does it have to be some secretive impossible to come by thing? It aught to be a public document. PS: Tatty000 asked me the other day on MSN to have his ban looked into. I could send him the ban appeal form if I had it.

So that before you pull off your great heist on CTF, you can have your ban appeal form all filled out and edited, in case you get caught so that you have more time to plan your excuse as to why it wasn't you who did it. |

The ban appeal form is a private document because we are the ones handling the bans. If a member wants to be unbanned, it is the staffs discretion, not the members, whether they have right to appeal. I'd much rather people who deserved the ban not send me fifty emails about why they should be allowed back. I will not, and will not be in the future making this available.

I thought the prayer buddies was a brill idea so maybe newbies could have a form of friend or something similar so they have someone they know?!

Good catch there Heather.
Yes, I would like to get started on this wikki sometime soon. Perhaps we can set up a forum group to begin discussing what content will go in, how it will be organized and what sort of standards we want to set up. We can do that while we're waiting for Chris to get around to installing the app and setting things up. |

Can suspended members appeal a suspension say if it's for a prolonged amount of time?
I've been suspended before and never received an appeal document. |

How about a Statement of Fundamental Beliefs--from a Biblical Perspective, as this is a Christian Teen Forum? It may help settle a LOT of disputes here. (Fundamentals means Fundamentals--Way of Salvation, Deity of Christ, Infallibility, all that good stuff).
