Where debating everything under the sun is only the beginning

I like that. Long rules serve the purpose of convincing everyone that the Boss has a legitimate authority even if the end he's right anyway. Like with the government.

Maybe I'm naive but I think most moderating here will be cleaning up after spam bots.

I'm not sure of that. Most posters that comes from D&D have a certain experience and things don't usually goes too far in terms of friction but new ones can be a different matter. People needs a cold warn when too hot...

The Problem with Atheism is that they can never disprove the existence of God, so they attack everyone of faith with hate.

The Problem with Atheism is that hate is the only answer they have to the existence of God.

without funny symbols of dead languages.

I reckon you know how I vote.

I see that recent Microsoft ClearType fonts do not include MS-DOS box elements and smileys anymore:

See? when atheists don't speak, there's absolutely no problem with atheism...

Isn't this valid for both directions?

Yup. I think a more accurate description of "the" problem is that being an atheist doesn't really mean anything. You're an atheist, and then what? That's the part that matters.

Too little basic human decency.

We needed a thread here that I, personally, won't have much to do with-- same as the ones on the D&D. I know without even looking how the thread is going to run, so why bother? Threads like this exist so atheists can kick believers around, and FOR NO OTHER REASON.

It starts already in a bad way. Why would be religion to "have a problem"?

I see no problem with religion but I can see a lot of them without religion...

Isn't the occasional Bantay-esque poster part of some kind of tradition?

I don't really know what it is (Mac?), but surely it's old rather than new. Looks like the last activity there was around '06.

I suppose we need one of these.

Note that although I opened with a clip from Sesame Street, I didn't mean your favorite American television series.

Disk usage should be fine. I don't know how long it'd take the database to reach hundreds of megabytes, but by that point performance might be more problematic than size. Honestly I have no idea, other than that as long as we stay below 1GB everything's peachy, and that'd take a long time to reach.

Yup. Fairly common sense stuff I'd think, but it means a large percentage of DANBUZU's posts cannot be allowed.

I'm not so sure about sockpuppets either - nothing wrong with banned users coming back as long as they behave.

I think it's talking about "real" sockpuppetry (i.e. making it seem like people agree with you when it's all just you), not about a new 'nym.
