Is the Forum getting a major update still a thing? It's been brought up a few times in the last few years and there was a thread about it a few months back that now seems to be dead. Any updates to be had on that?

I have a question - what constitutes racism on this forum? For as long as I've been here, posting a dumb, racist joke about black people and watermelon in LMAO pics has been bannable (as far as I know at least), and at the very least, the default ban used to be 7 days. So yeah we can probably all agree that "niggers be stupid lol" isn't the sort of shit we'd like on the forum. But after all, this is pretty harmless in the big picture - meanwhile, it seems to me that racism, as long as it's "a political opinion" is apparently free game? Why is defending racial profiling, which is inherently racist, accepted as a political issue you can disagree on, but posting harmless - though dumb - pictures are banned on sight? I know there's a wave of caution against banning right wing opinions on this site - because it is very left leaning - but shouldn't we be careful not to accept opinions simply because they're dressed up nicely?

all the mod team is accomplishing is making me consider if I can shitpost hard enough to get a title but not enough to get banned

We're not here to be the thought police; we're here to moderate inappropriate content.

We're not here to police people's thoughts or censor people, but to ensure that forum discussion takes place in an appropriate manner.
The mods are just interested in political equality. If you wanted to ban the right-wingers for their views, to balance it out you'd have to also ban people for saying that racism is bad or that maybe you shouldn't round up all of the gay people and immigrants and exile them to Detroit.

Like, what degree of racism is acceptable around here? The "use common sense" is a copout because there's no common sense when it comes to racist views.

[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;52673514] You can be right wing without being racist.[/QUOTE] I knew somebody would say that, but writing " posters who hold social viewpoints typically associated with harder-right conservative viewpoints but are not necessarily indicative of the entire right side of the political spectrum" doesn't flow as well in a joke. I'm not generalising here. When thinking about "why is this person not getting banned for being an asshole" posts, racist or not, you can usually just break it down into "aggressive" or "passive" posts. "all immigrants should die in a fire" is aggressive, "i think that all immigrants should leave the country because I don't like immigrants" is more passive. Making either post makes you an asshole, but you can't get banned just for being an asshole. For better or worse that's generally the mod policy. As frustrating as it can be to watch people voice such views or argue with them, it's not really harming anybody for them to post them. Particularly when they're immediately shouted down by everybody else. But I wouldn't mind some mod discretion taken on the fact that many of the notorious ones are generally bad posters in general with a laundry list of complaints to be made about them on top of "disagreeable opinions".
[QUOTE=Marbalo;52673501]I dont think political equality has anything to do with it. The mods just want to keep the forums from turning into shitpost central. If you can articulate your racist opinions well enough there's no reason for them to get banned. Of course, up to a certain point, generally determined by common sense.[/QUOTE] Read more than his first sentence please.
Official Facepunch community BBQ when? Entry could cost either meat, booze, or snacks.
Banning people of a different political view creates a boring echo-chamber which leads to a circle-jerk.
