OT Racism Bits

No, I dont think what he put was fine, but not giving the common courtesy of telling a poster why you are deleting their post is in my opinion wrong.

To be honest, when you delete a post on the main site it asks for a reason why, which I expected, but apparently the mobile version just deletes it.

 

[Matt_B]

The reason why is only shown to mods anyway.

Fair enough.

Jesus Christ who's pissed on your chips Cate? Do think what he put was fine? Normally you are one of the sane ones on here, but all this because I didn't PM him?

Nah Matt. I think the poster rather than the post is what you don't like.

If that is average of having a post deleted then this place is going to be devoid of any posts.

I am shocked such censorship is allowed to take place, the mirth of the common man deleted by an over sensitive whim??

I can't believe I'm still having to argue this, but where would you draw the line? Should we leave the Chinese piss takes (even though the owners are Thai) but delete any that quote Morgan with a Jamaican accent? Or leave it all unless they call someone a nigger?

Sorry but no, I made a decision to delete a post based on something that I considered unacceptable. The fact that people are using it as a way to take the piss is something I object to.

Or leave the post so people can draw their own conclusions about the content and the poster. I believe there is a report post function for this exact reason.

So if someone had clicked that button you wouldn't have objected to it being deleted?

Isn't that featured designed to get the attention of a mod so that the post can indeed be considered for deletion?

I was with you, but when you change your avatar to a large pair of breasts, may I ask why racism is unacceptable but sexism is fine?

Goodness me, get over yourself. We're here to talk about football. Stop clogging up this thread with your 'I think this is racist' 'I don't think it's racist' conversation. As a mod you should be trying to keep threads on topic. Take it to General Chat.

Why wait for someone to find it offensive, when Matt can do it for them

Saves us having to think for ourselves

I couldn't give a monkeys either way, I don't get upset on other peoples behalf, life is a lot easier that way.

First of all I found the original post -now deleted- to be in poor taste, but you could easily argue that you new avatar is in poor taste matt.

A thread for racism? Di Canio's appointment has changed the climate a bit more quickly than I expected.
