we should have a new rule or law w/e

[today]

if your racist you'll not get put into prision, just warned.

Why bother..

[-Xiangu-]

yes joshuar thats perectly acceptable as long as they are not offensive

and hollywood

we should bother because it will show that discrimination is not tollerated full stop

[today]

but its going to happen if you like it or not, i discriminate and tbh, i dont really give two crap's.

If i want to, i will.

Banning is pointless now, I go with educating them about it.

[today]

Banning's always been pointless lol.

They just come back anyway

[jesus]

even if it was a joke between friends, someone might report it as offensive just to get the other person banned (for example if they didnt like the person)

i think a temp ban is acceptable as jrh said, it will teach them a lesson instead of just getting rid of them

But in the mean time they could make a new account so then you'll have 2 accounts to deal with when the temp ban has expired.

[today]

Yuh No matter what you do it wont work, banning -> they return, ban ip -> change ip.

So yer know..

I suppose banning is the only option though, it'll have to be an on going chain of banning. Eventually one person would get bored.

well as I said, If the moderator PM'ed the person the comment was said to, to check whether they took offense or whether it was a joke and then it would progress from there to a Permanent Ban or not.
