Blog/Forum Guidelines
ThinkAtheist.com requests that you follow a few simple guidelines when posting blogs.
*Apply this before posting.
Debate Guidelines for Think Atheist Discussions.
Debates are welcome but should be posted in the forum.
* EVERYONE IS WELCOME.
This includes Theists, provided they follow our rules and guidelines. We have members from all over the globe, from every background and religion, we DO NOT discriminate.
* Give credit where credit is due.
We have no issue with you posting an article or story from another site, book, magazine, etc., but please post the source. Plagiarism is both an intellectual and civil crime. There are enough educated and well read people on this site to spot it and call you on it. Don't humiliate yourself
*No Teaser Posts
Posting only a few short sentences then linking to another site to read the full article/ blog is not acceptable. You may post the source after the full article/blog.
*Post a warning on all adult images or content.
Please Include "NSFW" in the title of PG-13 and above posts.
Let's not get anyone fired for opening a post with a pic of an atheist bikini contest while at work.
*Do not Hijack.
Keep it on topic with the original post.
*Posts that have a great impact on readers and/or moderators, may get featured on ThinkAthiest.com.
Please do not post a Blog containing only a link to your other Blog. We understand you may want to get the word out about your site but saying "Here's my Blog, [blog_link]" and nothing else clogs the front page and comes off looking like spam and will be treated as such.
A simple solution is to post a complete article from your blog and include the link as the source. A good way to build traffic to a blog is to post the article, and then have a 'read what people have said in my comments' link at the bottom. Please limit this to one or two a day(from your other blog). This includes click to pay blogs(ie. "The Examiner"). Please no Blind Links.
If you would like to have your blog added to our Friend/ Organizations RSS feed page please contact Morgan Matthew
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask a Moderator.
Thank You,

*Authors of Blogs and Discussions deleting posts:
The 'delete post' option for authors is the primary means of dealing with spam and trolls. It was never intended for and NOT to be used for intellectual dishonesty. We are a society of free thinkers, and that means quite simply that no one has the right to censor or delete
the voice of another. This feature is included to take the pressure off of moderators and keep our site clean of bots. It is NOT to give censorship and silencing abilities to authors that can't handle conflicting opinions. If you can only accept words that agree with your
own, you should not be posting on a public forum. Further, one should carefully consider deleting their own posts. Keep in mind that other members of this community know how to take and
save screen shots. No one ever wants to eat their own words. Use caution
when retracting your own posts.

"You've never heard of the term men as in referring to mankind. It depends clearly on the context when it is being used. When one says man in a sentence say: "Man has accomplished great feats" - Do we mean only men, or women also?"

This actually is a rather good site. I post rss threads from it. They do an excellent job of making "fundies" look completely ridiculous
They make exquisite cigarillos with it in Cuba.
