But basically they are all asking for the same thing our thoughts and strength or prayers that things will get better therefore just because the wording is different and one says prayers instead of well wishing or good thoughts or even get well why should one have to be moved and the others in fact remain?

This is why it has been requested that a forum for "Prayers, Well Wishes & Get Well Thoughts" have been asked for in order to put all of these that basically are asking for our support in one way or the other to have a specific Forum in order for these type of threads to be placed within.

I realize you are attempting to answer as diplomatically as possible and not upset anyone. However, why even bother to give the Christians their own forum if they will still just be allowed to post willy nilly in General areas? Cant a foot be put down? Clearly there is a difference between a request for prayer and a secular good wishes thread. The word Prayer will most likely denote Christianity and one would only need to read what the person is asking for if there is any doubt.

Why bother giving them their own forum to post Christian related topics when they wont be asked to post these threads there anyway?

I guess for the same reasons that Atheist or others are in fact given there own threads but still make topics asking for well wishes or good thoughts for basically the same things but have only left the word prayer out of it.

What it comes down to just because it says prayer some automatically associate it with Christianity were in fact many Religions actually pray not just Christians so now just because they have used the word prayer are we in fact to assume all those that pray belong to the Christian Faith?

Awww yet another issue now we have moved the thread to the Christian Religion when in fact there are other Religions that do actually believe in prayer.

Therefore we are back to the original issue where do they in fact belong? So within time we hope to actually be able to satisfy everyone with a Forum that would in fact be acceptable to all.

All you would need to do is read the request. If it sounds like its asking for Christian prayer, than move it to the "Christian Singles" forum and warn them. It seems that the mods are making it more complicated than it actually is.

Okay drop that example. What about if someone makes a thread deliberately praising Jesus Christ and posts that in "General Religion"? Shoudnt that go in "Christian Singles"? Would you agree on that example?

{{{Invisible}}}

There is all types of religion in the "General Religion" section, It's as scary going into Current news & affairs as it is the religion section.
People feel the need to "debate"/force they're opinions on each other.
As the forums grow(which is a good sign of activity) the more sections are needed.
It's not like Mingle2 is catering to anybody special.

Like having to add the "rate me" section

That is the whole point of the "General Religion" religion forum. But in addition to that forum, there are also several "religion specific" forums. If you select "Christian" when making a profile, you automatically gain access to the Christian Singles forum. If you select "Jewish" you can see the Jewish forum. The reason for those religion specific forums is so members of those faiths can post topics that are specific to those religions and they will not be open to debate necessarily and only people of those faiths will respond.

So it seems that a thread asking to praise Jesus would be most appropriate in the "Christian Singles" forum and not "General Religion" If they post something like that in General Religion it will cause days and days of argument and screaming at one another.

I like the arguments

Mirror they will still argue because they still have access to General Religion and they will be mad at all of us for not praising Jesus.

Okay to answer this question that in fact has been talked about within depth among other Mods and Admin themselves. We in fact do not believe they should be put into the Religion threads if so then say for those that do not believe in prayer instead use the words of well wishes or good thoughts. Even though in reality they basically mean the same thing where would those go? We could not in fact move them to the Religion Forums due to they may in fact not be someone that is in any type of religion.

Actually Prayer, Well Wishes or Good Thoughts threads are what we actually consider iffy threads and have more then one area they could actually belong in. Due to this fact we leave them in the General Area.

Most of these threads do in fact let you know by the heading what is inside and therefore if they are a subject you wish to by pass it can easily be done.

But.........now with that said we have in fact brought this up to Admin and have requested that a new forum be started labeled as "Prayers, Well Wishes & Good Thoughts" or something similar to that. In order to actually have a place for these types of threads to be placed. And in fact have asked for some forums to be changed or new ones added.

At this time they are considering our request as well as many request that have been requested by the members. If I'm correct after the New Year they will in fact be adding some new features as well as fulfilling some of the request that will in fact solve where some threads are to be placed.

If you really think about it there are a lot of questions that are in General that in fact would go under the heading as Dating. We do have a forum that is listed as Sex & Dating but we do not move those threads either due to the fact if they go in that forum it seems what was a innocent question in fact gets turned sexually or there are those that will not go in the the Sex & Dating threads. So we choose to leave those in fact in General as well. And yes one of the request is to change that forum to Sex & Advice and Dating Advice and Situations or something similar but to divide the two from each other.

So at this time they will be left within General and everyone will just have to bear with the situation until Admin has time to create new Forums in order to put subjects in a category that actually fits them best.

The ones that actually do get moved have a specific area for them to be in without a question. Any time a question in fact can be placed in one or more areas they can then be left within the general area.

As well as other religions and none religion have been given their own Forums. In fact the forums you will automatically see will in fact curtail to what you in fact have based your religion preference on when you signed up with the site. The Mods in fact see all the Forums that are now under the Religion Heading in fact there are like 6 different areas there now dividing each Religion Christian,Jewish, Hindu, Atheist and a few more. Due to the fact they were all basically curtailed in one area now you have the option to in fact go into the Forum with others that in fact have the same beliefs as you do. The General Religion forum is in fact for those that want to ask questions about others beliefs or to debate for answers. In fact each forum within that area has specific rules now and if another goes within only to argue with them on their religion they will in fact have their responses deleted and warned those specific areas are not for others to go in and criticize them on what they believe or debate with them on what they believe. Those areas are for each to share the same beliefs with each other.
