Sounds like you'll get that done.

Read the Forum Rules before this happens again.  I'm sorry you feel the rules are unfair, but we all play by them.

Thanks, but just I think that in such case the sender of the message should get a clear message explaining the reason for the blocking.

I got the message: "Atheist Forums: The specified thread does not exist."

What exactly should I understand from such a strange message?
Pray to the Lord.

"Read the rules" is a clear message.

What GS said. If you can’t be bothered to familiarize yourself with the Rules, don’t bother bitching about how you’re notified when you break them.

My first thread I went straight into my topic of interest, without introduction, and included a link to a Dawkins video. I still haven't read the rules.

I didn't run into any issues.

Just wanted to ask a question and I need to add some links to it.
If this is the reason, then why don't they bother to show me a clear message about that? Why do you let me Guess why I couldn't post my message? Why am I getting a stupid error message which I can't understand instead of explaining?

Unfair is a claim usually made by those under the age of 11.

I see the start of a wonderful forum experience for your tender self.
