• Private Message Spam Filtering

In the past there have been numerous complaints of new members sending spam via pm (private message) system. After some research, I've come up with a sweet system to completely stop this from happening. Already implemented was 5 forum posts minimum to activate pm ability for new members. On top of this, I've added a new spam filter that based on certain keywords (will not disclose here) it will trigger the filter and immediately send to queue. I can then check this and immediately approve or reject the pm message(s) depending on the validity. This will prevent new members of practically frustrating and victimizing devoted forum members with fruitless messages and spam / scam web links.

Forums:

• New forum category: "Ex Unbelievers' Testimonies"

This will be merely a new forum category, listed with sub-categories (to keep nicely organized by beliefs). The purpose is to find a bunch of testimonies on the web of ex-unbelievers (atheists, mormons, jehovah's witness, catholics, other unbiblical denominations) and post these testimonies in their respective sub-categories. This will be enjoyable to read, glorifying GOD will being a good encouragement to any such unbelievers that come here. The purpose is to bless these visitors who yet have not accepted Jesus Christ by giving them the opportunity to read a bunch of testimonies written by their own "ex" members of their belief group. Over time, this compilation of testimonies will grow dramatically.

Any suggestions? Feedback? Concerns? Respond and let me know.

Update February 11th:

- Zoints Thread Tags (completed)

Click on the navigation menu (any page) on top, on the drop down click "tag clouds". You'll also see tag clouds on the bottom of a forum or post. Tags are fun ways to describe a thread.

- vBFavorites (completed)

Click on navigation menu on top and drop down, click "my favorites". You can add any thread to your favorites by clicking "thread tools" menu (when viewing actual thread) and clicking "add to my favorites" on the drop down.

I also suggest that the forum rules be modified to say that only men 21 yrs old and overf can post in the "Men" forum and only women 21 years old and over can post in the "Women" forum.

Those forums should be labeled like this: "Men Only - 21 yrs. old and over" , "Women Only - 21 yrs old and over"

There have been incidents recently of men posting in the "Women" forum.

SLE

I second that one SLE as also a lady also posted in the mens forum. It is not right for men to post in womens' forums or for women to post in the mens forums. Some do it on purpose, others do not realise where they are posting. They should check which forum they are in before making a posting.

Will give feedback on the above topics when I have time to see what they are about.

God bless you Chad for blessing us with so much here. :rainbow:

Wow the idea of quotes is a good one as there are lots of Christian quotes and it would be good to access them easily.

Thank you Chad

vbFavourites looks quite good too.

not sure you would be happy with the one where the text gets bigger. Zoints Thread Tags

GlosPro looks interesting too.

God bless you :rainbow:

Added a new coming feature regarding "ex unbelievers' testimonies". Please see.

As an ex catholic, I think it would be nice to have somewhere to confirm my strength in Jesus Christ. Also, it would be nice to receive counsel regarding my split from the roman catholic church. It will be a safe haven to reach for, when I feel distressed regarding a lifetime of teaching. It will also be a nice place to praise Lord Jesus Christ, in times of distress. People do need a place to feel at ease talking about their experience and road to recovery. I don't think many sites would have the strength and courage to make this "haven".

Thank you Lord Jesus, for making a haven for me.

Is Talk Jesus a haven for me? You betcha!!!!!!!!!! Amen:Pixie :sun: :rainbow:

Psalm 107
Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,
and he brought them out of their distress.

29 He stilled the storm to a whisper;
the waves of the sea were hushed.

30 They were glad when it grew calm,
and he guided them to their desired haven.

Really good brother Chad, I had a look at some of the additions you want to add and it looks really cool.

The Holy Spirit is giving you these awesome idea's, I can tell.

God bless you brother
Much love

Hello there Chad

I like the sound of synergy. Should be good to have that on board.

Web templates look cool too. Speak is good but I have limited usage during peak hours.

God bless you for bright ideas which the Holy Spirit gives to you.

The New Feature sound cool. Though i have yet see all the current features, you can never go wrong with new ones

Chad,

The new add-ons sounds great! :) I especially like the one about the quotes and the Tutorials.

Anyone who is a new member can easily understand and navigate through the site.

I read what Pixie had written about being an ex-Catholic, and I have a small suggestion. Maybe, just maybe, you could make the site open to all people who believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. After all, it's not about what we call ourselves, (i.e. Protestant, Catholic, etc), but it's about our relationship with Christ.
I think by doing this, it will open up door and make it comfortable for others to talk about their different backgrounds. Just a thought! :)

Otherwise, great job with this site Chad! It is a great motivation to see the different types of ministries in the world! May God bless you greatly!

Blessings,
monkeys
