That's a shocker. It just can't be defended. If a moderator can't see the need to take action on such a question, then why have them at all?
Toby has a point. The whole place goes into meltdown when some people make jokes about the death of a footballer yet posters making racist comments and asking someone if he's a ni**er and no one bats an eyelid. What kind of site is this?
toby **** off then you will not be missed you little attention seeking back alley accident ,you ate all the pies you fat bastard
I'd like to register my disgust with that question. I have no problem with being called a c*nt - but anything that is nothing but racism is wrong. It is totally unacceptable to use the n ..... word. ( I am white Briton before anybody asks )
There is no comparison to being called the latter over the former. As you quite rightly said, it's not a racist comment, but it's not right to suggest that the question does not have racist overtones.
Cyclonic don't bother, that geordie ****wit can barely read and Jip won't do anything about the racism on here.
I take it you mean when I said 'jigaboo'? I was simply laughing at what is a very silly word, and laughing at how ridiculous times were when this kind of language was widely used. Look who posted the article FFS - Dev - he's hardly what you'd call a racist is he?
But he's not a ****ing moderator is he? He hasn't been letting this place become a racist free-for-all, and that was one example. Pretty much every day there is a thread that the BNP would think 'goes a bit far', but it all stays up here. At least you deleted Kirun's comment...
I'll delete racist stuff if someone complains Toby. If something is nastily racist - like some of the stuff that Geordie was posting - and it offends me, I'll delete it if I see it. You must remember that this isn't a full-time job for me Toby, I work 40 hours a week and have a wife and 2 kids demanding my attention so I might not see every comment or thread on here. If Mick gives me a pay-rise I'll jack in the job and be a better mod
I'm talking about threads you've commented on, not every single comment made. I know you can't be on here 24/7, and it must be a lot of responsability, but the problem lies where me and you draw the line on what's acceptable. I don't find racism funny or clever Get that ****wit nufc as far away from GC as possible
