If the question is what is an effective conversion tool, the answer is evidence. Good luck with that. Note: the Bible is the claim, not evidence.
so for future references if I want to post something I have to write it myself or cite it with the link? last time I cited a link it was cut off by you actually. what do I do then?
Do not make posts consisting solely of a link or solely of other people's words even if cited. When you do use other people's words (including the Bible) quote them in small amounts only and summarize the rest. It ain't rocket science.
This gets a little looser when you pass the 30/30 period. Read the rules.
Quote:Spamminghttp://atheistforums.org/rules.php
Spamming is not allowed. We consider any of the following behaviors to be spamming:
- Repeatedly creating multiple threads with the same or similar thread subject in a short space of time.
- Repeatedly posting responses to existing threads which are unrelated to the current discussion(s) in the thread.
- Repeatedly posting links, copy / pasted content, or scripture verses, unless they are relevant to the thread and have the member's own comments added to them.
* * *30/30
In addition to the advertising rule, new members must make 30 posts and be a member for 30 days before they are allowed to post external content, such as links, images, or videos. This is to ensure that advertising is not the sole purpose for the member joining the forums. Any posts where the sole intention is to link to external content may be removed by staff, and will not count towards the 30 posts requirement. Once the 30/30 requirements have been met, members are free to post external content, however the advertising rule will still apply.
An exception to the 30/30 requirements is when external content is used within a discussion or with the intention of discussion. For example, a member who has not yet met the 30/30 requirements is allowed to post external content if they are using it as evidence in a discussion, or if it is relevant to the ongoing discussion.
* * *Plagiarism is not allowed. We consider plagiarism to be the act of posting another person's words and trying to pass them off as original, or failing to properly cite their source. Academic integrity is important to many of the members here, and it is only fair to give credit where it is due. When members quote from a source other than themselves, they should use citations, links, and names / references where possible.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
