AndyCapps provided a pretty unambiguous explanation in <a href="http://dvdtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=219218">the thread in question</a> that should answer your question.
I believe the standard procedure for these sorts of gripes is to contact the moderator directly instead of immediately complaining in Forum Feedback.

Which threads? I closed all of the ones that copied the text of your thread.
There's no reason to devote a thread to calling people out who have certain beliefs. Then to say this:
The different viewpoints represented by the members of this forum is what makes many of the discussions not boring.
If you're talking about some other thread I may have missed... unfortunately we can't constantly read through every single post made in the various forums. I wish I could without becoming totally burned out, losing my job from never getting anything done, and having my family leave me because I can't pull myself away from the computer. So, sometimes we have to rely on the "Report this post to a moderator" link. I came upon your thread myself, and later saw that I had three complaints about it waiting in my mailbox. If there is some other thread we should take a look at, we haven't received any reports about it...

The thread about exposing atheists has been going a hell of a lot longer than 5 minutes. I suppose you don't believe that's a not-so-subtle insult at Christians? Please!!
