[Tallguy88]

This thread is reopened in case there are any additional questions or concerns about this move.

Give me a bit and I will get the recent threads in OBOB Politics moved to the new forum so discussion can continue.

I figured it could stay as a read-only archive.

 

[Tallguy88]

I moved several threads, btw. Just let me know if there are any others you guys want moved over so you can continue participating in them.

all I want to know is are you all going to handle the problem of individuals calling other individuals raciest? That is something that should be on your long list of rules.

Directly calling another poster a racist falls under the flaming rule. Please report any such posts.

Those are flames and should be reported so that we can handle them.

I agree with eastcoast on this.

Also, did they change the rule back to anyone can report anyone on any post again? I think I seen that recently. I’m not on here very much anymore to keep up.

Pretty sure in light of these changes I will be banned soon. When that happens know that you’re all in my prayers continually.

Yes, anyone can report flames again, but flames don't directly result in bans anymore.

Oh Lord. So many people would have been banned out of here if all the "you're racist" posts had been reported.

That would be on them.

Can you say that a view someone expresses is a racist view? Like if someone literally said that white people were superior to other races, would calling that view racist be flaming the person?

 

[benedictaoo]

What were saying is, you know how busy you're gonna be? You need to make an announcement, letting folks know it's a rule and they can't throw it around like they think they can.

No. You can't because its still a flamming subjective opinion. You need to stop with the flamming.

"You"? I'm not aware of calling anybody racist on here in a while. The only time I can think of (and I could be wrong) is when someone made a post about Jews being evil and such.

Saying "that's a racist view" isn't a flame because it addresses the subject of the post, not the other poster personally. Saying "you're a racist" is a flame because it's directed at the other poster persinally.

Saying "that's a racist view" isn't a flame because it addresses the subject of the post, not the other poster personally. Saying "you're a racist" is a flame because it's directed at the other poster persinally.

Thank you for clarifying that.

And if the view isn't? They need to add- in their opinion.

 

[Tallguy88]

This isn't a debate thread. Please report any post you feel has violated the rules and we will look at it. There's no need to hash it out in this announcement thread.

That's fine, too.
