Racism on the forum... is it necessary...

I hate being nitty...

but :

Example 1

Example 2

Example 3

I could go on with other examples, that I have seen just this week...

And no doubt people could even say I'm being a hypocrite given that I posted the photoshop thread in LOL...(but having viewed a lot of them before I posted the link - I didn't see anything too outrageous or further from 3 KFC related pics) but this kinda of stuff is just a bane to read again and again..especially when Jewish/Chinese etc etc gags are extremely taboo...

Vava

Let me guess :

*First
*Shotgun (Edit...Too slow)
*We get it you're black...

Why is it offensive to you, caucasian?

Vava, that first post was a Ice Cube quote and very appropriate for that thread. The others seem worthy of a temp ban, just hit report moderator on the individual uses of whatever it is that bugs you.

this coming from a guy who stalks random girls' online photo sharing accounts.

I've seen Chad's 'Pstars f'king Arab crooks' comment being repeated as a joke on his stupidity/ignorance. I think however that the offensiveness of this comment outweighs it's entertainment value.

BBV is run so that black jokes are fine and Jew jokes get you IP banned. Standard Gildwulf MO. As a black person, I sympathize with Vava.

Black jokes such as use of the n-word is absolutely not fine, you must have a very short memory (anyone remember when I instituted the no n-word rule and practically had a revolt on my hands?). I've probably tempbanned 50 people over the last year for using the n-word.

If you see something like that, report it and it will be dealt with. For example, someone pm'ed me yesterday about a racist avatar (black football players carrying a giant bucket of kfc across a football field) and I pmed the guy to remove it. BBV has probably the highest volume of posts in the forum and I cannot possibly see everything so you have to report it if you have a problem, otherwise it's basically if I see something I will deal with it.

The 1st example is a 2pac quote, you've gotta be kidding.

The 2nd example i would have deleted and banned for 1-2 days but it's not my forum.
