Feel free to complain about *PU* moderation here. If I think an issue has already been explained I may just ignore you.

You are at least the 3rd worst moderator this forum has ever had.

Someone has to watch over the watchmen.

If there were no more watchmen, I wouldn't need to watch over them.

Are you done your verbal spat over spank yet?

Who's, not whose. Can we get a mod who is capable of a respectable showing in a grammar rodeo?

I think you should let anyone with any post count start new threads. This place needs new blood. Why restrict it?

Anybody can start new threads. I'm just not going to do the "mod your own thread" thing with new users.

Pro move will be to combine the rules thread and this thread. Good exercise in using the thread tools and title change function.

Your distinction, in the rules, between racist and non-racist statements is unclear.

Quote:

The line I draw on racism (and other hate/insensitive speech) is that there's a difference between an idea/position and an ignorant attack. "Giraffes should be placed at the back of zoos because nobody wants to look at them" is an idea that can be debated. "Giraffes are tall necked freaks" is an attack that's not really worth discussing. Ideas are open to be discussed while attacks aren't acceptable.

Inherent to example #1 is that "nobody wants to look at giraffes". But that is just as racist--in the sense of being insensitively cruel about the nature of a class of individuals--as "giraffes are tall necked freaks". Yet only the second is prohibited.

If you have no basis for distinguishing between racism and non-racism then all your moderation on that account is arbitrary.

As always, the real question is just how racist you can be without being called racist.

The debateable part is "So they should be placed at the back of the zoo". Maybe it's unfair to giraffes, but maybe the tradeoff is that that's how to maximize zoo profits. So why shoudn't the zoo owner be allowed to do that?

But like MrWookie said - it's obvious that all moderation is arbitrary. The example is to help you understand how I look at things and not to be a definitive rule.

If you're unsure if something is too racist - just don't post it. Or PM me and ask.
