I thought I would give these guys a fair try. I had of course heard a lot about A+ through the grapevine, but I didn't want to judge them before I actually read what they were about. Well, now I'm banned for 24 h due to this. Somehow I guess I'm not going to take "time to understand the rules". Those fascist nutcases can circle-fingerbang each other all they want. I'm out of that asylum!  How pathetic. Such a minor infraction. You got banned not for doing it again but for clarifying the situation and pointing out that you were not really "tone policing", but hoping to be treated better.
One thing I really like about this forum is the moderators are great and do a good job. 
Enough brown nosing for today.

Yes, yes, worship us some more!
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Going by context, I'm guessing you're Rhikat to them?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Yup, that would be me.

I just don't get it!
Why would they put a ban on you for speaking your mind?
Like I said before, Atheism+ is looking more and more like a religion everyday (thanks to that sort of micro-management)

I think talking about their forum on another forum is also against their rules.

It actually is in their rules (I suggest reading through them for the lulz) and yes, I read them through with care. But I being naive, thought that common sense and courtesy would be enough to not be immediately banned. Boy, how wrong was I. I actually registered there with the mindset that it's their forums, their rules, but some of the rules were just so ridiculous, that even censuring myself wasn't enough. Ah, I'm not gonna be missed and I surely won't miss them

No, of course not. I'm just mildly amused at their own folly.
