lol!
That depends on the board - this one is decently moderated from the perspective of encouraging "both sides" to remain and continue to debate.
Other boards don't care if there is a Creationist/Evolution bias - on the Evolutionist-dominated sites I frequent, there is typically a massive pileup on the Creationist as a few dozen posters completely dismantle the Creationists argument and proceed to mock him thoroughly. If the Creationist refuses to substantiate his argumetns and proves to be a moron, he is banned.

Considering there isn't any information a creationist can provide to substantiate their claim without having it demolished for being bad information, then I bet a lot of creationists get banned.
Yeah, they go pretty fast. But the pileup of rebuttals and mockery are highly amusing, and occasionally intellectually stimulating. There are apparently a lot of ways to say the same thing
But then, the stated purpose of that site is not the Evolution vs. Creationism debate. The site owner is a staunch Atheist, and he has a science and morality section on his board. Creationists come to "refute" him, do so clumsily, and are annihilated.

i like Percy. i wouldn't consider him a staunch atheist, I'd say he is a patient man, requiring data for conclusion. more or less he'd prob say : "i don't know." if I'm wrong, then I'm wrong. but that is what i believe from his posts.
I was talking about another site I frequent, tesla, not this one. Obviously, this site's stated purpose is the EvC debate.

When you know you're going to wake up in three days, dying is not a sacrifice. It's a painful inconvenience.

There is. If they aren't willing at accept the terms of a rational debate, they should be banned or ignored.
