I'm not a mod, but I can tell you that you're going to need to link to a specific post. The mods aren't going to wander through 57 pages of thread to find what you're talking about.

The begining of it i feel just begs for people like me to argue.

Yeah, but the thread has been around for 57 pages, and while I haven't spent much time in it, I've seen people warned in it already, and yet the mods haven't seen fit to close the thread. If it were a new thread, you might have a case, but when a thread has been open as long as that one, you've got to give the mods the benefit of the doubt.

You do have the right not to read a thread you think may offend you. You also, I am sure, possess the God-given intelligence and self control to know how far to go before your argument becomes flaming?

Then why do you lock my threads when people can avoid them also.

When threads are composed of vague, one sentence posts that say nothing, it's spam.

you mean like the one the other day about my questions with the UN that you locked? Or the ones were i ask people about religion and you lock? And that thread is flaming and trolling, i know it is because you close my threads for less then whats going on in that thread. BTW, i know you dont want close the thread because i reported it and you like people to insult my beliefs because you are a atheist.

I'm not a mod, but I'd wager that accusing a moderator of prejudice against you without evidence to back up your claims is not a good way to operate.

Maybe there's a reason all your threads were locked? The Mods are impartial, you are just breaking the rules. Simple.

And it's AN Atheist.

Just a note, that Katganistan is not the only moderator who locks threads around here. There are other mods that do as well. Your threads were locked simply because Katganistan viewed them as spam. If you want to start a thread, and put more than just one sentence in them, or perhaps, start a discussion in them, go for it.

In the meantime, we aren't going through that entire thread to search for rule-breaking. If you know of any, give us the specific # of the post(s). The thread itself is not flaming or trolling, for that matter. Just because someone has an opinion that isn't similar to yours, doesn't mean its trolling. You're going to have to learn that in General, there are a large variety of beliefs, and if you don't like that, then avoid threads that may push you into breaking the rules.

BTW, i know you dont want close the thread because i reported it and you like people to insult my beliefs because you are a atheist.
We treat all requests in Moderation equally. If there's rule-breaking, and we see it, we will do what is necessary, no matter who requests it in the first place. Raising assumptions, which you have done by calling Katganistan an athiest, isn't appreciated simply because of the fact that you're not getting your way. There are plenty of other atheists in General who we've had no problem with.

In my time as a moderator, when people request things in Moderation, I don't know whether most of them are liberal, conservative, lutheran, catholic, wiccan, or atheist, and that doesn't matter. Breaking the rules, no matter what religion you are, or what part of the political spectrum you're on, is still breaking the rules.

Just for the record, calling me an Atheist is like calling the Sahara an ocean.
