the very special 48 hours of death discussion thread

[DING-DONG YO]

ddy, the actual reasons behind this are:

1)the racism in bbv is filtering into other forums and other mods are annoyed at us;
2)racism is unfunny;
3)racism is lame;
4)this is a website that makes money off ads and probably shouldn't contain a forum with a bunch of racist posts in it.

if you have some kind of superpost that absolutely must have the word 'nigga' in 37 places, you can wait until the 48 HOURS OF DEATH are over, but before the next 48 HOURS OF DEATH cycle that will no doubt repeat itself once we've decided that the forums are fixed and stop caring as much.

fair enough, my issue is that I don't consider innocent use of igga to be racist.

However, I can see how it may have gotten out of hand and other posters don't know how to use it without being offensive and some bed-wetters are offended at the word regardless of context and how that is spilling over into the other forums. We are awesome and all.

Ty for explaing, that was all I wanted to know.

I understand the intent and reasoning behind this, but I don't see how Greenfield/SOA's blatant anti-semetic and clear violent racist views mean we can't say *&%ga anymore.

[/ QUOTE ]
I agree with you that SOA was clearly in the wrong but what is the point of this thread?

I lol'd when I opened the the thread but maybe this is also a reason behind the new rules/policy.

[/ QUOTE ]

fair question, but obv the point of that thread was to lawl and not be racist, which is precisely my point. mods know what is OK and what is not.

Now, if posters here have actually been complaining about BBV/4life posters' innocent and obv not racist use of igga, then so be it, we will cease.

But I doubt that's the case.

so the point is: why is it funny when you make a one word post saying ni**a and not other people? When you make that post some total noob is going to think it's cool to post that, and it just sets a terrible example and is not something any admin or mod and most posters want to see on this website.
