Considering many of us are arguing and people are getting banned and suspended. Making a some sort of statement may be in order.

Agree though, not saying anything is not a good look.

Has Gamespot made a statement?
edit: previous poster said they did one second after I posted this.

Bowflex had no responsibility either. They chose to make a statement and that's fine. GameFAQs hasn't made a statement and that's also fine.

This a board that took years to ban The Admiral

like someone in this topic already said, their silence, coupled with what's been allowed to slide here, *Is* their statement

It would be nice if Allen at least commented on how he plans to bring diversity to the Leads.

Yet they had no responsibility to. Good on them for doing so, but even a majority of comments from any source are meaningless platitude strictly for PR reasons. The ironic thing this GameFAQs probably actually cares more than the generic Twitter statements from big Conglomo Incorporated or whatever.

Even if you take the most cynical view on this, you think GameFAQs doesnt need good PR?

It's not, I don't think it's debatable this site handles things like racism poorly from an "overall" perspective.

Any kind of crackdown would effectively mean bringing back the KoS or a KoS-like system (consider Reddit where it's against the site-wide rules to use an alt to bypass a ban). It would also mean instituting a lower or zero tolerance moderation system, which given Allen's actions over the years is the exact opposite direction it has gone.

Basically destroy the Politics board >_>

We also had an outspoken white supremacist as a Lead Mod

And another mod who said black women are unbearable to be around

Also the cultural differences thing

Not at all surprising given the past and current Admin and moderator staff

People have literally linked to white supremacist websites and the mods just let it sit in the queue until the topic purges just so they dont have to mod the people who post it. Shit is a joke.

Those were psychos that liked the Columbine shootings, not white supremacists. There's already rules against being a psycho, but psychopaths are incapable of following rules. A better example would be madfoot and his continued presence here. Dealing with him would be another matter entirely though, requiring system changes and stuff.
