Summations Only

Not only is this thread in one of the science forums, where evidence is all, but the word "evidence" is even in the title of this thread: Evidence for a recent flood.Please do not argue any position for which you're not prepared to offer evidence. Thanks.

Hello everyone,Over the past few months, beginning back in April I think, I have tried to reduce IamJoseph's level of participation by restricting his access to certain threads and forums. It looks like I finally have to admit to myself that this approach will never prove successful. Moderators cannot be everywhere all the time. I was unable to think of any other solution but to remove IamJoseph's permissions in all the science forums.Because of the recent and somewhat lengthy digression caused by IamJoseph I am bumping the post limit of this thread up to 400.Edited by Admin, : Shorten title.

Hello everyone,My apologies, I apparently checked the wrong box when modifying IamJoseph's permissions earlier today. I have fixed this and IamJoseph will no longer be able to post in the science forums.

Hi Rod,Excellent first post, but you'll have to pardon my suspicion of a new member who appears to have a financial stake in the game and who includes links to three websites full of ways to send you money.If you're here to debate, welcome aboard. If you're here to plant links to your websites, well, I just took care of that.

Hi Lone77Star,There are no explicit rules about signatures. There are a set of Forum Guidelines that serve as a guide for both members and moderators, and moderators deal with every situation, including signatures, on a case-by-case basis. Links to commercial sites are not consistent with this advertising-free website's mission. I left the deactivated URL's in your signature, but I would be more comfortable if they were removed entirely.During discussion, links to pages containing information supporting your position (see Rule 5) that happen to be at a commercial site are fine.Welcome aboard!

Hi Lone77Star,Unless you've disabled Javascript you've seen the notice that this thread closes for summations at message 400. There's a "Thread Details" link near the top of the page, and if you click on this you'll see the details about Summation Mode on the right hand side.If you post a copy of your first post to the Proposed New Topics forum I'll promote it into a new thread. If you click on "Edit" or "Peek" you'll be able to see the raw markup for cut-n-pasting.
