I kind of wish more mods were admins, just so more people can get tags. It's a very rare occurence that people are tagged nowadays. There used to be more than just the people here like Dragona, but not anymore.

Boy, that thread was a hoot!
You are 27% less likely of being banned for saying something dumb at the wrong place and time.

Speaking of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, someone backed into my car at work today. I didn't see it happen and have no idea who she is.

Don't be a dick. Don't lie. Don't talk about things you don't know about. Remember there are real people on the other side.
And don't ever smoke pot.

I'll never be banned, so no harm done.
Can you actually get banned for bashing Pony-GAF these days?
That's sad if true. I liked having a convenient forum piñata.

If you go in their thread to do it, yeah. But then again, going into any community thread just to bash it is asking for a ban.
See "Don't be an ass."
If you find yourself hating strangers over dissenting religious opinions, perhaps it's a sign to take a good long look at yourself and why you react in such a poor way.

Lurk as much as you can.
I am sure it is nothing to do with hating people because of differing opinions rather the fact that some of the atheist / anti-religion posters can be quite derogatory in the way they refer to religion.
Spillover from certain hot-button political issues does not help either.
It seems like a lot of the aggressively anti-religion people here were born, raised and still live in very conservative and restrictive environments, usually in rural parts of the US.
They've got a lot of pent up anger which they can only really let out on the internet due to them still being "in the closet" in the real world.

Exactly this.
I always picture that BISH face before I post. It usually keeps my posts in check. legacyzero has never been banned. I plan on keeping it like that.
pls dont hurt me bish...
So? If you (Royal you) know something to be true, then it won't matter HOW derogatory someone is, it won't bother you one bit. If someone came up to me and screamed "The moon is cheese! You're stupid if you don't believe me!!" I wouldn't be offended or hurt or bothered. I'd think they were wrong and probably crazy. Maybe a bit annoyed, maybe I'd pity them, but no strong reaction like hatred.
Would YOU be bothered if someone, a stranger at that, spouted off things you KNOW aren't true? No, you wouldn't. You may be bothered by their mannerisms, find them annoying, but it wouldn't GET to you, deep down, regardless of how hard they screamed it.
Truth doesn't get its feelings hurt.
That's why I said if you are finding yourself reacting negatively and hating strangers for disagreeing with you, REGARDLESS of how "derogatory" they are, you need to take a good look at exactly what you believe and how confident you are in it. Note that I'm not just talking about religion, though it's a good example, I'm talking about beliefs in general and how strong they REALLY are.
It doesn't excuse the behavior, though.
I forgive a great deal because of restrictive or bad upbringings; people can be crazy (literally), or underachievers, or ignorant, and I won't hold it against them if they had bad parents.
One thing I do not forgive, however, is being a jerk. There is rarely ever a good excuse to be a mean spirited and cruel, in my opinion.
religion does not automatically deserve respect.
Nah. Even Wollan got banned eventually.
Go admit in a thread you pirated something in the OT. You'll get banned if a mod sees it.
Neither does an atheist view on it.
The epitome of insanity is when someone is angry at YEC just for them being YEC. The feelings are not usually mutual.
But do posters on this forum?
I say yes until they prove they deserve otherwise.
Also its a real dick move to believe that you have the right to trash peoples beliefs due to your own opinion.
Respectful debate is a must.

After every post.
Dude! That's a LOT of cocaine. I don't know if any of us could afford to post more than a couple times, and that's assuming no one has a stroke!
I find that it's best not to post if I feel REALLY strongly about something. Best to cool off, then revisit.
Why would you do that?

I wonder what would happen if all banned members were suddenly unbanned. I'm curious if they will return and be respectful, grateful that they've received a 2nd chance. Or maybe it'll be like a beast in captivity that, when released, would wreck everything up on the forums.
A poster and a poster's beliefs are separate things. A poster may deserve respect, or at least not deserve utter disrepect, but the same can't be said about their beliefs.
You seem to be avoiding my rebuttals to your stance. That's not very respectful, so you're already coming across as a hypocrite--and, by your own argument, that's someone who proves they don't deserve respect.
You have every right to trash other people's beliefs. This is the basis of one of America's saving graces, the right to speak your mind. And this right comes with a responsibility -- if you choose to trash someone's beliefs, then by damn you better be read to accept the responsibility of looking like an asshole and the consequences that come with that. And if you go too far, you get banned. That's part of the consequence.
Along the same lines, if you're putting your beliefs out into the public, it is completely and totally immature and delusional to only expect positive responses and to throw tantrums at those who disagree. If you can't handle criticism (from a stranger, at that) then you weren't ready to accept the consequences of speaking your mind.
Have you EVER considered the possibility that YOU expressing your beliefs may actually be offensive to others?
See, what people REALLY mean when they complain about their "beliefs" being trashed is that they just don't like people criticizing and poking holes in their worldview. THAT'S where the anger comes from--no one wants to realize their beliefs may be wrong.

the key is to believe in nothing.
Isn't believing in nothing technically a belief?
I don't believe in anything or nothing.

i'm deep into the wikipedia editing game. every edit ever http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=NeoGAF&action=history
This. You can have you're opinion on whatever it is you want, but you shouldn't be a dick about it no matter how right or wrong you are. You also can't expect to get reactions from more serious posters who are tired of interacting with adults who behave like children because someone feels the need to bring down a conversation with a crappy attitude.
i just need visual indication that you posted if I'm scanning through a thread
