Review Time
I was a member of CF for more than 20 years, serving both as general membership and on staff. Over time, the community became like a family to me—imperfect at times, but meaningful nonetheless. I valued the thoughtful debate and engagement that took place across many of the forums.
I later joined the moderation team, where I assisted in drafting several Statements of Faith and served two terms as a Chaplain. During my tenure on staff, I gained firsthand insight into how reports were managed. It was during this period that I became concerned about what appeared to be inconsistent and, at times, targeted enforcement practices.
On one occasion, a Supervisor (Hark!) was reported seven times within two days by the same individual. According to established policy, repeated reporting of that nature should have resulted in a warning for misuse of the reporting system. Instead, disciplinary action was directed toward Hark!, and all moderators were temporarily restricted from posting for 30 days.
Additionally, there appeared to be a coordinated effort behind the scenes to remove Hark! from staff. That effort was ultimately unsuccessful due to significant internal discussion and the intervention of other staff members, including Hammster, who identified what he believed to be clear bias in the process. Subsequently, however, Hammster—who was serving as a Site Advisor—was himself removed following a staff campaign initiated by the same Advisor, and without any apparent avenue for recourse.
This experience left a lasting impression on me regarding the importance of consistent policy application, transparency, and accountability in leadership structures.
I left just recently because this same Advisor refused to stop a racist trope, I stated why it was offensive and it was summarily dismissed.

I don't think it's run by real christians. The moderators are confrontational, rude and pretty obnoxious. One wrote a little story where I think they implied I was a nazi and they were some sort of hero??!!??When you look at the topics of discussion - it's all drivel. Inconsequential nonsense. I suspect those discussing anything of value, were bullied off the site by moderators. And so you have a load of people discussing nothing.
A New Owner took over sometime in 2023, so bad reviews before then do not apply. I found the site over-moderated, more concerned with providing safe spaces for a dwindling number of users, than permitting real debate. I teased a moderator in a private direct message his claim to running a spiritual war forum was a Saturday Night Live parody, with chickens clucking sound track and I was banned for months!
Not Recommended for True Christian FellowshipChristianForums.com is not a place I'd recommend if you're genuinely seeking biblical truth and authentic Christian fellowship. I shared straightforward truths from the Bible and was banned for life without explanation. This experience left me deeply disappointed. It appears that the site operates more like a business rather than a platform focused on sincere Christianity. Be cautious if you're looking for meaningful spiritual connections or biblically-grounded discussions; you might find yourself unwelcome there.
Got my third strike. So no more access. Christian is a loose term here. They cater to many religious groups. There are some good sections for people needing advice or who have depression, and such. The advice there can be good. There are groups that you cannot post anything but questions in unless you are of that group. That's fine. But they don't allow you to block them out and they post those limited group posts for all to see as news. Why? Why would I want to see something that I disagree with or cannot challenge? Makes no sense.There are a lot of very immature posters there. That is expected. But they belittle, indirectly attack, spend all day posting accusations at you, etc. (SoulX and Daq). They are the ones that run the place with their reporting of you. So it is a bit like Hockey. The instigator is rarely addressed. So rudest and mostjuvenile pretty much rule the roost there.When you are reported. There is never a comment about things being addressed with the opposite party. Not response to what you were responding to. Like it has no bearing. Even good parents explain that they are addressing this with both you and your sister. Is it too much to address the name-calling, accusations, rudeness, and indirect insults made by the other party? So you have no idea what occurs. I don't personally care for that. Because I am not going to go back and report tit for tat. I have zero interest in that game. People make blanket statements that all must believe and accept, such as Sex is only for procreation. That you are either jealous or full of lust if you need to have sex for pleasure. That is OK for them to state. That is permitted. But replying that there is no scripture for that and that they are the ones with the depraved mind elling me what I'm thinking and what I'm doing and where my thoughts are, gets you reported. And striked.There is a conservative group led by a Mod that is not particularly mature and likes to play word games and belittle you as well. He thinks he has won something. Very passive-aggressive. Avoid.In short. Don't get too interested or too involved. keep your posts to one or two and done and just move on. Staying escalates with the other side. And when you are not shy. You are the reported one.
