BR moderation

[Fragony]

Isn't that part of the problem? People who don't know you don't know anything about you than what they read.
I know that you're not a bad guy but you sometimes do appear like one.

Part of the reason I sometimes engage in discussion here is that I do not want outsiders to think that certain (seemingly) extreme views appear here unopposed. I have realized though that it has become almost futile by now and people still stay away thinking that this is a racist cesspool. Might as well stay away more often myself and leave what looks like a right wing circlejerk behind. For me it would save a lot of hours.

Like all good Englishman I crave the iron fist of a man who is better bred and more expensively educated than myself.

OH MY GOD!!!
Now in Britain they want Putin too.
What makes him so special?

Putin is neither of those things, though. He's as much a peasant lacking class as he is a Tyrant lacking morality.

[Beskar]

However, a peasant with class and a tyrant with a strong morality is the current Pope Francis.

By Popes go, I actually like him, he is actually one who acts like Christian should.

Just wait a bit. A year or two later in Russian history books he will be both.

Except the Pope is neither a peasant nor a Tyrant, his father was an accountant from Northern Italy and he is the elected Theocratic Monarch of Vatican City According to the Basic Law.

Conversely, Putin's parents were a factory worker and Navy conscript, and his abuse of the Russian Constitution is well documented (outside Russia).

It's awfully​ charitable of you to say he's not all that bad, for a Pope, though.

I've been a longtime lurker here (since Tribesmen and the guy from Norway RIP) and I've learned a lot. My first post here isn't exactly common sense but it seems like it's okay to be racist here. OP is simply a bigot who probably had his gf stolen by a black guy cus she wanted bigger.

Why this isn't acknowledged is beyond me. Maybe cus I'm a newbie.

It's not acknowledged because this forum is actually pretty polite towards its socially/penisly handicapped. I know of at least one guy that this place harbors who was thrown off a certain forum site because they could not take his constant racist inane ranting seriously or something. I sometimes think that this place is worse in the sense that the people here just humor these members to keep them talking and thus produce comedy gold with their tales of highly illegal hiring practices, extreme racism, nationalist denial, contempt towards youth, high-school level religious philosophy and other fine discussion topics.

It's not helped by the fact that the people who do acknowledge it have a near constant habit of suffering even greater handicaps.

Inappropriate.

Belief doesn't change facts. Facts, if you are reasonable, should change your beliefs.

Correct. This is why facts are important, so going out of your way to research a subject or poke your nose in a few academic journals or other first and secondary sources depending on the nature of what you are wanting to know about would give you a good understanding.

I'll recommend it.

Uh, dude!!

I have double the University points to teach at the highest level in my subjects, and work as political analyst.

I run facts and figures all day, it's what I do.

Like being too honest?

The way you master your grammar and logic, make me think you are of colour.

Now, is this racist, prejudist or just the reality?

To Beskar

Errr....

The Guy said Kad's girlfriend dumped him because she went Black and Kad said "sounds like you're Black". In fairness, poster could also be a troll who likes to pretend to be black online the way fat dudes pretend to be chicks in WOW.

You'll notice he said he's a long-time lurker, so sounds like he's making an actual reference to Kad's personal life, some of which has been shared here.

So...

Yeah...

Open season on the douche, really.

Unless you want to actually emulate Banquo and Kukri and make us be nice I figure you've got to let Kad rip the guy to shreds because you didn't censor the offensive post with the racist personal attack in.

[Kadagar_AV]

Separating work from pleasure does sure help to keep someone sane, I agree.

Really, love... Kad is Kad...

Ski instructing...
Teaching...
Political analyst...

Kad has still been Kad...

[Greyblades]

Like being too honest?

No that's kadagar's handicap.

[Kadagar_AV]

No that's kadagar's handicap.

I think he meant you might have stated it more clearly...

[Beskar]

Considering you didn't report the post, it is not objectionable material. The amount of reports we get is usually like 1 or 2 times a month, tops. I'll advise the use of this function in the future, because the perception is the lack of use is because there is a lack of objection, something you have suggested is not the case.

As for the content itself, it did not contain personal information, it was a silly attack in the vein of "Why do you have such an issue against black people, did your ex run off with one?". As far as I am aware, Kadagar has never stated any information leading to this fact and my apologies if this is indeed personal information being reused and the nature of the question is worse than posts in a couple of other threads where someone was basically told they are a liar about their military experience and should return to coo-coo land. Interestingly, the question "Did your ex run off with a black guy?" was also deemed worse than the "Are you black? Call me Racist, you seem inferior like that" being implied in the reply which you defended.

You are correct, I am not Banquo's Ghost and if the feeling is that there isn't enough moderation, I will correct this issue. On the ballot, I'll make it my duty to ensure a quota of warnings and infractions to the letter of the rules.

[Kadagar_AV]

wrote stuff

PVC meant I used to be engaged, but we didn't marry.

Since you for some reason CONTINUE the talk about my personal life - thankyouverymuch - I can assure you my ex would shiver in horror at the very idea of having sex with a black guy.

They more, like, disgusted her.

But enough about my ex, shall we? I'm still flabbergasted it was brought up to begin with.

[Husar]

Errr....

The Guy said Kad's girlfriend dumped him because she went Black and Kad said "sounds like you're Black".

That is a serious misrepresentation, read again:

The way you master your grammar and logic, make me think you are of colour.

It is definitely not a direct reply to the girlfriend comment as you claim.
The idea is to say that bad grammar and lack of logic indicate a black person, a very racist statement indeed.

[Beskar]

I know what PVC was referring and it was unfortunate he brought it up.

Indeed, it was unfair to bring up peoples personal lives to make attacks, and this is something which is ill-advised.

You however are correct in your interpretation. You are correct PVC, I have been lenient.

I will respond to your and Kadagar_AV's interest in more active future moderation as requested. As suggested near the beginning, "Becareful of what you wish for", I will however bow down to the demands of the patrons i serve.

I expect you to do you damned BEST, and spell my name right.

Also, I argue the workload is too much for you - for very understandable reasons, and you should think about sharing the responsibility...

You should still carry the responsibility though, best Admin I have seen around on the boards I frequent :)

You TRY to be fair, and I respect you or it. I will not always think you are fair, it would be weird if I did. But damn, I still respect you for it.




Also, I think what we really should take away from this thread is:

WE NEED TO REPORT

It's easy to say offensive comments are let through, but really we have been lax in reporting. That is something we, collectively, should work with..

We get the board we together create :)

Don't worry, I won't infract you for anything you haven't broken, but yes, you do give some good advice here. If you object to something 'Report It'. This function can be seen at the bottom of posts.

Whilst I am not at the computer 24/7, I will go through the reports and deal with any issues where appropriate.

I will go through any current topics to remedy outstanding issues. I think the purpose of this thread has been served and I will ensure to use my moderator tools more often.
