Posting Guidelines:
Please be aware that a moderator may contact you to request that you repost your content in the proper format or appropriate section, or request that you edit your post in order for it to meet guidelines.

BLOGS
Due to the way blogs are formatted, consider the purpose of your post. If it asks a question or leads to debate, you may prefer to post it in the forum section where the format makes discussion easier. If a moderator asks you to repost your blog in the discussion forum, it is because that moderator sees the potential for ongoing discussion.
DISCUSSIONS
Rule of thumb: if the posts asks a question or for responses, or inspires debate or discussion, it belongs in the forum where the format allows for lengthy discussion (reply threads).
VIDEOS
GROUPS
Groups are intended for niche interests that do not necessarily have to do with atheism, and for networking with people who have similar interests or geographic locations. If there is already a group that exists with a similar theme, join that group instead of creating a duplicate (there needn't be several vegetarian groups, or several feminist groups).
IMAGES
Think Atheist reserves the right to delete any image if it is deemed inappropriate.
EVENTS
CHAT
Think Atheist reserves the right to remove members from chat at any time.
Common Courtesy
Ok - but I gotta say that from a rhetorical standpoint, sometimes when trying to quickly sum-up another's obfuscated argument, the result could constitute a strawman and I do mean no offense in that, :D
I see a couple of these violated a lot.
@Bella , They have never Not been enforced. We have 9 volunteer moderators for over 18000 members. Of those 9 Mods there is usually at most only 2 on the site at one time. Real life tends to keep us busy ,as does it for everyone.
@Steve The fact is we simple cannot see all offenses/ read all the posts made daily. We will respond to complaints as they are reported, and take care of issues as they are seen.
We try to let Think Atheist be self governing, and for the most part, it works pretty well.
Thank you, Gallup.
