Racially offensive thread in P&M....

Seriously, view the posts in here. Now I've witnessed many a poster(w/ usually lower post counts) get banned for way more arbitrary reasons, or happen to post w/ views opposite to this. So I'm guessing that posters w/ high post counts get a pass for such things as fighter bashing, anti-minority racism, and the like? However, if a poster were to post something opposite of this....INSTANT BAN. I've noticed quite a bit of bias and double standards that goes on w/ the banning policy on these forums over the years. You'll see posters that have definitely received double yellows REPEATEDLY when reported, but never banned for such fuckery. I'm seriously starting to think that these forums have become stormfront.org lite....and are questioning the agenda of some of these mods. What gives?

Rather than assume that thread (or this one) has been read by moderators, why not report it by PM'ing a moderator? By the time I saw this thread a few minutes ago, it had been moved to the Moderation forum for review. The mod who moved it didn't have time to sort through it, but he got it off the forum. I handed out at least two bans and three cards for the racist shit in that mess of a thread. Your assumptions are all wrong.

TO ANYONE READING THIS: DO NOT EVER ASK WHY RACE THREADS ARE NORMALLY CLOSED IMMEDIATELY. WE HAVE MANY RACIST CAVEMEN HERE.

Yeah, sorry about that. I saw the thread but couldn't take any action because I was swamped with work, so I asked mods to take care of it and Fogie did (thanks). Everything seems cool now.

Man people really need to grow thicker skin on this message board. I have a black person as my avatar, I must hate black people, give me a break. What was said was said in jest, if people can't realize that than this place isn't for me anyway. I see why the thread was removed, but to nitpick posts is retarded. I guess every single time I see race mentioned on here I'll report it as being offensive. Or every time I see someone make a joke, I'll report that as offensive as well.

Could of been quoting black comedians for all you know.

Glad to see the hypocrisy is still strong in these parts. What I said is somehow racist, but posting stuff like this is perfectly OK...

^yeah that's not racially offensive to black people

Not like it takes looking very hard to find racist or offensive things around here. I resent the fact some stupid mod thinks I don't like black people. Only thing worse than racism is calling people racist when they aren't.

I've now piled up 60 days worth of infractions, first 30 days for posting photoshops in a photoshop thread that contained no nudity but some mod or loser somehow found offensive.

Second 30 days for posting "the white man be holdin them down" inside a thread about a big news story.

Good riddance, might want to find some new mods

Please post a link to the post or thread that image is from. What do you expect anyone to do with an image link by itself?

It's common to assume that all posts in all threads have been read and evaluated for content by a moderator, but it's not true.
