Racism on the forum

[OneMoreRep]

Gentlemen,

I hate to have to be the guy to push buttons every damn day, but everyone has to ease up on the racism.

We don't want this site becoming another stormfront.  One thing is for someone to make a bullshit comment here and there that might have racial undertones, but another thing is for every other thread to be about singling out African Americans.

I am going to clean things up a bit (move/remove threads), but will not directly move on any posters.

I'd like this to simply be a gentle reminder. Seriously, don't make our work any harder. I have a Bar mitzvah that I am helping to organize and due to over 30 "report to moderator" complaints, I had to put down the braided challah (which I conveniently dip into my Matzoh ball soup - I know, a travesty) and tend to these issues.

I begin to clean up the G&O now. No actions will taken against any members at this moment.

P.S. As of now, this isn't about any one or group of particular posters. I am simply going down my list of complaints and removing threads accordingly, without reading into them.

Mazel tov!

Beat me to it. What's your ethnic background BTW, Tapeworm?

[Hulkotron]

Maybe we need two separate-but-equal forums.

[Tapeworm]

Apparently it means congratulations.  And also "good luck."

About time tho.  "The comin' race war...."   Tinfoil's getting wrapped a little tight around here of late.

What have the list of complaints got to do with it?
If something breaks the rules and doesn't get anyone complaining does it get ignored?
If someone breaks the rules then as a moderator who is fully aware of the rules then you should just act on it.

I don't read every single thread on the forum.

As the complaints come in, we move on them. There are way too many threads made on a daily basis for us to sit and read through each one.

By the way, didn't you say you were leaving? Something about you waiting for another forum to be fixed in order to completely leave this place? Changed your mind?

You're cheating us of a few cheap derogatory remarks. We'll get you. Someday.

Agreed. Which is why the whole " Let's Vote " thing is so silly. Just silly. I have a lot of respect though for OMR. And i am quite confident he will sort things out. Chaos ... not so much. Just being honest.

Back when I was a mod, I would've never allowed things to get this far. Just sayin ...

Then not one word of bitching from any of you crybabies when you're being banned left and right for every little thing.  

By the way "no" was taking a steady lead when that poll was removed.

[King Shizzo]

This is what happens when you force my hand.  Shit gets handled.

It's in the rules, Chaos. " No racist language ... " It is your job to enforce the rules. No need to threaten anybody. Especially as a mod.

Who threatened who

Half the white guys out there swell over with pride of heritage on St Paddy's or when someone brings out a jumbo ceramic bier stein.  They affect some gawdawful accent they heard in a movie and wax all lyrical about their ancestral home... which they've never visited.

I say, "Oh is that a fact, Shammus?  Lemme tell ya about my people:"

Is it racism when we constantly see black people in videos acting like animals?

Racist comment!

BANNED!!

BANNED!!

Ouch man, Ouch.  Racist comments are only responses to these vids people are posting.  Is it racist when people commented on the black guys making that kid suck his dick.  Or the chicks beating up kids?

[The_Iron_Disciple]

Who threatened who

Re-read your comment, old friend. It's quite obvious. Anyways, I'm not going to argue with you, Chaos. We go way back.

Whites, Latinos, Asians, etc. all do this as well. Not all blacks are animals. Let's be civil here.

And let us get away from videos and into the real world with FIRST HAND ACCOUNTS of these " animals ". I have a TON of stories. Anyone care to hear ? Lol

you're one of the main ones who come on here constantly with the same nonsense....if you have a racial ax to grind why don't you go to one of the hundreds of white supremacist sites on the internet?..why bring your constant ignorant behavior to a bodybuilding board?

Chaos bends the rules to suit his whims. You give him shit back( he pretends he´s big cool Chaos) but he gets really aggravated and Bans and threatens. He is really the only mod on here who i have at times trouble with. hence why i started a new thread on the History section and Funky had no problem with it...then comes the big mod and starts to push his buttons again. ruined 2 good threads now with his immature antics. Maybe OMR can school him a bit

Good job OMR

How come you never meet a quietly confident racist who isn't frothing at the mouth about things?

I don't even care if someone's a racist.  Just as long as he's not a boring bastard, harping on about the same shit every day.  If you're gonna be a racial supremacist, you gotta be debonair.

Sounds like he kicked sand in your snatch, "Donny".
