One of the important decisions when defining a discussion board concerns the nature and style of discussions one wants to encourage. This board attempts to encourage rational and informed debate and discussion. Ignorant and irrational contributions are discouraged. Contributors who persist in posting such messages will naturally find it rough going here.
This is an equal opportunity board as far as enforcing these requirements. Rocket was an evolutionist who had enormous difficulty saying anything rational or on-topic, and he saw his posting privileges restricted. Budikka and SLPx were two other evolutionists who couldn't maintain a polite discussion style or follow moderator requests.
I haven't followed topics in which you've participated very closely, but my guess is that you're not following moderator requests, you have a lot of difficulty staying on topic, and your posts don't make much sense. If you're really motivated to improve then I'd say just keep working at it. But if your goal is actually just to nag moderators into letting you keep doing what you're doing, that probably isn't going to work.
Is there a particular topic you'd like introduced that isn't currently getting attention? If so, post it to [forum=-25] and let's work on it.
