Suspensions and Bannings Part III

Admin, at the "Living fossils expose evolution", writes:I've just issued a couple one-day suspensions for not following moderator requests and for posting off-topic.I will continue issuing short suspensions for Forum Guidelines violations and for posting messages with no content that addresses how the example of bats either confirms or disproves evolution.

I have regretfully issued one day suspensions to several more people for posting off-topic. The only off-topic posters spared were relative newbies. If you click on the "Admin Posts Only" link to your left you'll see that the topic is living fossils, and the example we're focusing on is bats.

24 hour suspension - Ongoing trite messages of no value towards forwarding the debate. See here and feel free to look around elsewhere. - Adminnemooseus

6 hour suspension - See here - Adminnemooseus

When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon.There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot.Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots.
