Re: Spam spam spam
They're still there in Message 14.

Rrhain

Thank you for your submission to Science. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time.

Minds are like parachutes. Just because you've lost yours doesn't mean you can use mine.

Re message 275 by AdminPD, here.
The admin writes:

Please be respectful of participants belief systems and understand that scientific proof is not required in this forum; so please don't demand it.
Now this would be fair enough if some Christian had started a thread explaining how he believes in God because thinking about Jesus makes him feel all warm and fuzzy.
However, this particular thread was set up for atheists to explain why they're atheists, and to ask the hard questions they'd like Christians to answer.
And one major reason, perhaps the major reason, why atheists are atheists is that, eschewing the special pleading of theists, they apply the same methodology to the God question as they do to every other question; and one of the hard questions they want to ask Christians is why there's no real evidence for God comparable to the evidence for electricity and giraffes and rice pudding.
Such issues can't be off-topic in this particular thread even if it is in the Faith and Belief forum.

It's not uncommon for threads to not fit neatly into existing forums. The OP includes a Bible reference, so maybe PD would consider moving the thread to the The Bible: Accuracy and Inerrancy forum, which is in the science category.

Hard Question Simple Source

I don't see in the OP that the thread was set up for atheists to explain why they're atheists.
The originator figured atheists could provide good questions for an apologetics class, but not to explain why they are atheists.
An easy example would be about God killing Babies in the Old testament. I'm sure the bunch of atheists on here can easily give the number1 reason they don't believe in the christian God.
One of the requirements of the OP:
A single condition would be that the questions don't require tons of outside research to answer. More stuff that is directly linked to Bible references and stuff like that.

Questions about the Bible or Christianity. They want questions where they can pull the answers from the Bible.
I can see asking why they believe, but not to prove that their god exists.
I consider demands for scientific proof that a god exists to be beyond the scope and spirit of this topic as I understand it even if moved to a science forum.
Start a new thread if you want to discuss scientific proof of God's existence.

I don't know. I think it is because he uses different IP addresses to sign up each time. Luckily, his posting style is always the same, so he can be spotted pretty easily. He gets kicked off every time he posts. But I don't think permabanning is possible when you change IP addresses every time.
Let's see if Admin knows how he can get back in every time.

Re: And he's back
I mean the user ID. He has like 27 or so posts associated with that ID. Ban his log in ID.

Re: And he's back
Hi Hooah212002!
The board's control panel has a "merge member accounts" function. When David Mabus creates a new email and registers a new account under it, once we detect it (usually instantly) we merge his new account with his old one. Since the old one is already suspended he becomes instantly suspended. The new account name is added to his list of aliases.
We could ban by IP address, but IP addresses have become very fluid, and we tend not to do that anymore. You have to be very certain that someone has a fixed IP, and fixed IP's are rare these days. Someone could also have home and work and other computers, and there are IP masking utilities freely available.
