Default Racism

Why is blatant racism/inciting racial hatred offences not moderated properly on here?

Supposed to be a family forum. I'd sooner see somebody swear, than somebody degrade a person based on their religion or ethnicity.

Rather than tar all with the same brush with comments like "SVBNP650.org" why don't you report the post/thread that you feel crosses the line?

As for the forum as a whole... compared to other forums, you'd struggle to find any better than this one.

But the most shocking thing of all; he was white. Thinking back, the only logical explanation is that he was just another asian dude with a really bad case of vitiligo.

Not saying everyones a racist, apologies as it did come across that way. I dont venture into other forums but your probably right. It's just not the first time i've come across a comment like this and nobody bats an eyelid.

Then report the post yourself, and make the moderator team aware of it.

Its quite possible that the post has been missed. As hard as we try to pro actively moderate the forum. Sometimes its just not possible to read every single post.

If you feel a post breaks the forum rules, report it and then that will flag it up in the moderator section and that will bring it to the attention of the entire moderator team.

Hello chezvegas85,

I think you have to put thulfi's post into the right context.

He was only making a point...reading the posts prior to his, would make it clearer.

Have you tried sending a PM to one of the Mod's. Maybe isn't the best idea putting it up in post.
