I’m totally confused and lost…

Was this racial slur serious or was it meant to be funny… I’m sure EVERYONE has said at LEAST one racial slur whether it be against blacks, germans, mexicans, puerto ricans or idiots in general…

why is this such a HUGE deal now?

actually, yes you can. The law actually protects your right to do so.

as for the ban trigger, most forum software i know of allows for banning via IP, username, email, etc… seperately or all of the above. If I only ban your user name you can log in as guest.

ok so you’re fat… well not you so to say but really? are we 8 and can’t handle the truth? If you’re overweight or black or mexican or just a moron I think you’d know it by now and there is no reason to make such a fuss over it…

I don’t know do you think I was being serious when I said, “nigglets = speedbumps” ??

I hope not. I don’t usually get all hyped up about shit, unless someone presents me with a double standard. If it is a rule, that is legal, I will follow it. No questions asked. But moderator abuse is freq. overlooked.

OMG I am not going to sue. I just don’t know why the aforementioned mod in the OP felt it necc. to threaten me over something so minuscule.

racial slurs don’t bother me anymore. I’ve heard them all and tend to use offensive names when I’m angry… I’m guilty…

The double standard thing is the kicker… if a supervisor says something offensive, you’d most likely go to the next higher up correct? people grow close when they are all working together… they try to protect each other and help each other out. I’m not saying it’s good but it’s life.

it’s messed up but seriously who was offended? Who seriously gets offended by racial slurs… because I’m SURE we’ve all said something at some point that someone would consider racist…

+1. As Travis said, you signed the agreement that no one reads. That \> some internet constitution. This isn’t a public forum per se either. It’s a private one, because you have to sign up in order to use it. Therefore, what the owner/moderator says, goes. The end.

I could find hundred of posts that could offend, blacks, whites, feminists, etc. There is ALWAYS someone that could be offended. Great thing about a thread, is that if you don’t like it. Don’t read it.

And if don’t like a forum because they ban slurs of any type, joke or not, don’t frequent it.

I have nothing against you (your one of the few who doesn’t haggle me about my lifestyle if I recall correctly), lets make that clear. I’m just saying that for anyone who feel otherwise.

According the countless other threads slandering other races, including women, this forum does NOT ban slander. You would know with all the Virgin till marriage BS.

THAT is why I am upset. Why does my meaningless post rear such a response from Cossey in contrast to other things that are said and done on this forum??

exactly! I could get offended over the lack of naked HOT men pictures or the mass amounts of CP which is disgusting because I have a younger sister LOL but i don’t like it so i ignore it. And because this is a male dominated forum I know I’m going to hear stuff about bewbs, and vag, and having sex with random nameless females which to me is TMI but hey… whatever… I just don’t read or comment on that stuff!

I agree with that. Mods pick and choose. And members pick and choose who to harp on.

But arguments sake, making all else equal, the owners/moderators of this site DO have the right to ban for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. That’s all I’m saying. Is it right? Maybe not. But is it within their powers? Absolutely. Because: you signed the agreement.

I didn’t see the thread/post in question. I’m just making a general statement here.
