ITT: *user gets punished for posting racist comment*
"mods must support racism"
I won't say the mods are necessarily defending them, but you guys sure as fuck do a shit job at getting rid of blantant racist posts. Too many instances where I've marked straight up racist/offensive shit and nothing happened.
Yup.
I've told the this story to many times but it just keeps being more and more relevant. There was a user here with a straight up racial slur as his username and for some crazy ass reason, his account has been active for a long time with 2000+ karma. So I would mark the guy, pretty much every time I encountered him. I'd ask mods how do you deal with a user with a bad username and it was the usual, "Just mark him and we'll deal with it."
I've been marking the motherfucker for months until I decided to go on the "Ask A Mod" board and make a scene about it. It's against the rules to bring up another user doing something wrong but I just bit the bullet and linked to his profile, detailing why his username was bad. I got warned for that and then they finally suspended him, eventually locking and closing his account.
One of the few instances this website legitimately made me mad.
@FrisbeeDude got modded for trolling for asking about the diversity of the mod team a while back. One mod said its not an issue because theres a mod who lives in Hawaii lmao. Error wouldnt accept the fact that Frisbee was genuinely concerned with how a lack of diversity might affect the mod teams understanding of the nuances of online racism/trolling. Just kept stating that Frisbee was only trying to cause trouble. The topic got locked and Frisbee got modded.
