[QUOTE=Bradyns;52673728]I throw a mean barbie; shit, I'll even dice some onions for ya.[/QUOTE] gotta get that bread and slap a snag in the middle diagonally with the optional onions.
[QUOTE=Hezzy;52673374]Your examples are silly and exaggerated. Use your common sense. We're not here to police people's thoughts or censor people, but to ensure that forum discussion takes place in an appropriate manner.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Hatley;52528848][url=http://i.imgur.com/4Iu31xd.jpg]Transraccoon[/url][/QUOTE] Are his examples really silly and exaggerated when shit like this gets posted in LMAO and Best of Facepunch and flies? To make jokes about black folks and watermelon is bannable. Here is a joke about black folks and raccoons, another age-old racist American riff, and, as a bonus, throw in the n-word and trans invalidation to boot. Common sense would be you'd never say this shit in public. Doing a google search also shows that BDA banned someone for referencing the joke as a text post in 2015. So people can't recite these words by precedent except in the image. What makes the image safe?

Back when that was posted, the moderators' roster was different. Though I wonder how many reports it would have gotten if it happen today versus back then.

Though I wonder how many reports it would have gotten if it happen today versus back then.[/QUOTE] Well, after it started four years ago, it's been regularly requested and reposted since then. The post i quoted was just last month. Anyway, all i want is just to know that that kind of thing is still bannable. If it isn't, well, what makes it worth defending? If it weren't 'Facepunch history,' would anyone feel comfortable sharing it at all?
[QUOTE=Marbalo;52673528]Use common sense to discern what to say and what not to say on this forum. It's not a difficult concept. Why are you people always having such a difficult time with basic guidelines and always look for clarifications? Just don't be an idiot, dude.[/QUOTE] I think that's kinda the problem. Most of us view racist views as innately idiotic. So saying "just don't be an idiot dude" is rather unhelpful at best here since from the point of view of a lot of users posting racist opinions, no matter how eloquently put, is still idiotic.

Okay give it to me straight mods. Can i occasionally use emjois or nah? I find it must easier to use then those forum similes
Don't see what would be wrong with using emojis, aside from Pentium not being able to see them 🙃

[QUOTE=CunningHam;52675186]I feel like these sort of mod posts are the only way to curb threads becoming Tudd-threads, plus it's fantastic as compromises go: Tudd loves keeping one foot in the spotlight, posters love proving him wrong, and lurkers get either an actual conclusion or less Tudd-congestion. Everyone wins. Looking forward to seeing more like this.[/QUOTE] At this point it's time to rip off that band-aid mods. Just get rid of him. He's gone through this pattern repeatedly in almost every single thread where his god-awful views get called out for the last year and a half or so now. And was fucking rewarded for doing so in the name of "balance" making him basically untouchable. Keeping shitposters like him around isn't doing shit to help the "balance" of the forum, as they never had the intention of actually partaking in fair debate in the first place. It's either hit and run shitposting, or purposefully trying to turn any given thread into a semantics argument because their actual point is indefensible and they know it, or are incapable of actually defending it.
Would love for mods to bring ultimatums to some other people every once in-awhile if this is going to be a thing. Considering something like this should have some level of equal application when similar behavior is observed. Not that I agree with this method at all or the reasoning why, but if this does continue I would hope it be applied to people I see engage what I think is the exact behavior put on me.
it just so happens that you're the worst of the bunch doing it shouldn't you feel honored about it since you crave attention in general

If you're not gonna back up your claims or explain them then it's better to not post something like that at all. Avoid the thread and go somewhere else. That goes for everyone, you're just the worst at it.

Do you think I just post in that thread for fun? It's not like I should have to reply to every post directed at me. Especially with redundancy, the personal attacks, and off-topic posts.
[QUOTE=Tudd;52675409]It's not like I should have to reply to every post directed at me. Especially with redundancy, the personal attacks, and off-topic posts.[/QUOTE] But you did reply to those posts, so here we are again, with you bullshitting about stuff.

It's not like I should have to reply to every post directed at me. Especially with redundancy, the personal attacks, and off-topic posts.[/QUOTE] There's a difference between arguing your point and arguing your point appropriately. No, you don't have to respond to every single post thrown your way, but you need to put forth an effort that I have very rarely seen you actually put forth. Your points are poorly constructed, misinformed at best, and the amount of backpedaling you do without outright calling it as such is ridiculous. If you want to avoid having people dogpiling on you for an opinion that seems ridiculously uneducated (Master's degree in History or otherwise) to a large majority of the population on this forum, then you need to provide better backing than just "yeah, I sure have this opinion and you're all misunderstanding it". Especially when that opinion is a very close defense of someone who has literally already been convicted of a crime. You're making your own bed and you need to lay in it. Otherwise, don't post at all and keep your opinions to yourself. And yes, this goes for everyone. If you're going to post a controversial opinion in a serious thread then you need to put some effort into it. Otherwise it's gonna count as threadshitting and we'll ban for it. Getting too many people whining about this and that and it's getting ridiculous. Back up your posts or don't post at all. Easy as.

Link to the posts being racist and it'll get addressed. It's really silly to ask "WHAT ARE THE MODS GONNA DO ABOUT THIS KIND OF POSTING?" but not link [I]any[/I] examples.
[QUOTE=Hezzy;52673374]Trump happened and now for some reason we have to tolerate dolts being xenophobic and outrageously racist :v: Or perhaps maybe what worked 10 years ago doesn't work now? Your examples are silly and exaggerated. Use your common sense. We're not here to police people's thoughts or censor people, but to ensure that forum discussion takes place in an appropriate manner.[/QUOTE] How can forum discussion take place in an appropriate manner when someone is operating under the premise "black people are inferior"? There's no intelligent discourse to be had with people who have such flawed and warped views of the world, it's just getting away with shitposting by being well spoken [editline]12th September 2017[/editline] "Racist idiot" seems like a 100% appropriate ban reason to me
You shouldn't have to tolerate racist and xenophobic people simply because Trump is POTUS. "Y'know, tons of jews are dying but it's the way it has to be since Hitler is the Fuher of Germany! We just have to tolerate it."
