Because I gotta say, I never pegged any of the girls here as the damsel in distress type.
Don't be jealous eq. If mr. Creepy was targeting some of our more 'friendly' males I would have issued the same warning
In truth, what I said was less about ms carox aspirations about being a snuff film star, and more about calling out a fraud. That is why I simply issued a warning, about this guys intentions in such a way as to call this guy out. Everything he said in the op did not make sense/not logical. That is a cardinal sin for you people. One only broken if their is somehow a great reward than one's intergrity. That would make him a liar IF he said who he said he was.
Again, I would warn any member of ill intent if I knew of it.

It's never stopped you.
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.'

Again, I would warn any member of ill intent if I knew of it. Drich, the guy was trying to get a contributor to his YT channel, a female. He was getting afoul of the rules by placing links/advertisement and I corrected him. Yet, pride does affect alot of us humans (theists or atheists) and he got pissed off with my mod actions. Well, butthurt is also that you don't take well IIRC, from a past episode. I guess you can claim to be not as prideful as this guy, since you remained around. Mabe this episode can calm your nerves as to us being persecuting christians. We don't do that, we like christians, where would we get our laughs from? ![Big Grin Big Grin](https://atheistforums.org/images/smilies/biggrin.gif) As long as the rules aren't breached one should be ok, being theist or atheist here.

Why? Spam should just be deleted.

I think 'someone' might have a thing for cock expanders and kitchen units.

Cock expanders or cock extenders? Cause the first one sounds super painful...
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.

Not my area of expertise. I have no need for such contrivances.

Which I think is a good thing also it would clear up all the trolls and what really is the downside to it unless it is a technically difficult thing to do?
A post count requirement only clears up the poor trolls. The good ones know how to stick around... how to become integrated: a part of the system.
It's irritating if I want to get into an interesting discussion right away, and don't want to dick around talking about something stupid like atheism or how someone's christian mother is an idiot. Any sort of raised postcount has the potential to alienate, or worse, bore any newcomer who has something they want to say.
In some ways, such threads provide the lifeblood for this forum. They're points of laughter when begun by the insane... can you imagine how utterly tedious trawling through AF would be if only members who had established more posts than *5* could post new threads anywhere but introductions?

Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
