Racism on this forum

[lBlue]

How should it be punished? Just wondering.

No action should be taken.

Depends on the level of it

This thread is pointless. Racism, on it's lower levels, is approached in terms of punishment the same way as any other rule break? If it is excessive it may then be punished more severely. That is how it stands, and I would assume that is how it is staying!

As always it depends on the context and severity, but I don't see any problems with the PM -> Warn -> Infract route we currently have.

You're a moderator. What about discrimination considering what I've seen falls into both categorys and can be seen either way. Add the fact that the user is also inches away from the autoban list, what would the actions be?

Not looking for a rule change, just wondering about something.

Without knowing the details it's difficult to make an accurate decision. However, if it was just a racist post and they already had previous offences the appropriate punishment would be given - be this an infraction that leads to a ban, or a usernote. If the user is "inches away from the autoban list" as you say, it may be possible that this next offence leads to the Moderator who punishes the post contacting the Forum Manager / General Management who will ultimately have the decision as to whether that member goes onto the autoban list. It's up to them and it is at their discretion.

just as it is. although saying that i think moderators are very lenient on racism. especially in comparison to other rule breaches anyways.

edit; i take that back. i looked thru posts i knew were racist and they had been dealt with. my bad.
