    What does it mean exactly and is there a zero tolerance policy for racist posts or not. Does it mean that people posting racist propaganda get warning after warning after warning or does it mean they get banned immediately. Or what.

    I'm an anti-fascist non-racist like most people here.

    technically speaking Karl is a species, rather than a 'race'....

    You can't get banned for being too nice to the ladies.

    Generally you'll find that it depends on who is being racist!

    Its actually a bit unfortunate. The people who should really know better get away with it because well "they're only having a laugh" and "they're not really like that" while the ones you could really have fun with get banned straight away.

    Terrible double standards depriving me of much needed amusement *grumble*.

    Racists rarely admit they're racist. They usually think that they're some sort of moderate voice of reason and that all sensible people share their prejudices.

    Are you racist if you hate all people equally ?

    Confused I'd say.

    I'd say not.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 790 ✭✭✭Redleslie2


    If you hate everyone, according to basic psychology you're probably projecting everything you hate about yourself onto them, and you're likely to be one heck of a screwed up person.

    no, youre indiscriminate.

    Maybe there should be an "I'm Not Racist But..." board.

    Much like projecting everything you hate about yourself onto a different social class, I expect. That kind of tribalism comes in numerous forms, with different names and excuses.

    Of course, judging by your present sig (isn’t there a rule about personal vendettas in sigs?), I expect this thread is presently pointed at me, even though I explicitly pointed out in the thread in question that what I was discussing had nothing to do with race. Not to mention that I’ve repeatedly rejected racialist theory on numerous occasions in the past too. Anyone is welcome to do a search of my past posts - all I ask is that keep what I say in context.

    Now, I’m glad that I validate your ideological existence by somehow representing an enemy for you, but it is quite tiresome. The revolution isn’t coming, and it’s probably time you grew up and took up a new hobby.

    aha , I wondered where a this thread was comming from as it seemed a bit vague for 'Feedback'


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,003 ✭✭✭rsynnott


    (isn’t there a rule about personal vendettas in sigs?)

    Actually, I don't THINK there is. There probably should be. (That said, I had one there for a month or so; no-one complained).

    Actually, it's about racists, nazis, fascists and the far right in general who use this site to vent their sad prejudices. Some get banned sooner or later, some don't. Keep your off topic paranoid gibberish and personal abuse to yourself.

    Redlesie2 has posted this thread with relevence to this Humanities thread where I had already warned people about racist talk. This wasn't good enough for Redlesie2 and he got himself banned. During pm discussion he told me that nobody tells him what to do, and therefore I chose to interpret that as a statement that he would not comply with any moderating decisions. His ban is extended indefinitely until he understands why he was banned and stops this conspiracy theory bollox.

    There is zero tolerance for racism in Humanities. However, the criteria for what exactly is defined as a racist viewpoint is not always 100% clear. TC has gotten quite close to being banned. He will get no future warning from me and the ban will be permanent if he goes against charter rules again.

    I posted an (admittedly) off topic response to personal abuse from someone who repeatedly posted racist nonsense, I asked him politely to back up his abuse with some facts, and that got me banned. You told me you had a zero tolerance policy towards racism on the site. You don't so don't pretend you do.

    I just think it beggars belief that someone can parrot vile nazi propaganda on this site and not be banned instantly. That is all.

    Or rather, you're trying to get someone you disagreed with banned simply because you disagree with him. I for one would like to see this "Vile Nazi Propaganda" you speak of, because I think I must've missed it.

    No, then you're Asok.

    Every now and then he develops slight feelings of non-animosity, but then the other s-mod's gang up on him and put him back in the training cage and poke him with sticks until he reaches the rabid hate-fever we trained him for.
