Title: So what's the deal with the "No Racism" rule?
Post by: NobleRabbit on December 19, 2007, 03:36:22 PM
I understand the no nudity rule keeping the work crowd out of trouble, but I want some clarification on the "no racism." 

For instance, if I decide to make fun of Rich Rodriguez's Hispanic heritage by calling Michigan's stadium "La Casa Grande" is that unacceptable?  Or what if I post a picture of Hitler playing a banjo or call somebody a hook-nosed Jew for being cheap? 

If we all agree to be over 18 I really don't see the big deal.  I mean there's a post up right now with a link to a girl shitting into her own mouth.  Is racism really worse than that?  We're all big boys/girls and I think we can handle it.

First: kudos on your name.  Kevin Smith fans are always welcome.

Second: It is what it is.  Start spouting racist shit and you'll get tossed.

Seriously.  We've got 2 fucking rules on this website, and already someone is bitching about one of them?  It's all good, I'm sure you can find a Klan board to visit if you get the urge.

La Casa Grande-that's funny.  I don't see a problem with that.

He's right on both counts.....


Now if RR had become the coach at Bama last year then this would be acceptable.

Nor do I.

If BunnyMan were to go into a tirade denigrating RichRod's heritage using various epithets to demean people of hispanic origin, then we'd have a problem.

See how easy it is to make the distinction?

How about just a warning if it goes too far?

I think it's pretty safe to say you'd get a warning first.  You'd have to do something really fucked up to get banned from this site.

Not a problem.  We're pretty fair-minded here, with a desire to engage in as little moderation as possible.

That's pretty much what I wanted to gain from this discussion.  I'm not a Klan member and in fact if I showed up there I doubt I'd be very welcome if you catch my drift.  So I don't plan on being "warned" anytime soon.  I was just digging for an answer to why a board with seemingly no rules had no racism as one of it's only two rules.  Really I consider it to be the only rule, because nudity would technically be illegal on a forum that doesn't require a credit card if I'm not mistaken.

Now you are just spouting law that the man has put in place.

Have we gone multi-racial?  Outstanding.

Interesting consideration.  I think we could freely share our collections of pornography amongst ourselves with the proper age-appropriate safeguards.

It's all good NR.  I'm sure since you were wondering about it, that many others may have been as well.  We will pretty much leave it up to each poster to determine if they are crossing the line or not.  It should be common sense, but if there is something blatant out there, it will likely be removed.

Racism = Stupid.

Porno = Awesome.

You will be warned first, then there is a $30,000 fine directly paid to myself.  Then, you get booted.  Heres the thing, just don't act like a bammer (moron) and you should be alright.

Yes.

A bottle of Bombay Sapphire, 20 "Our Fathers", five new posts on the "Concourse" and $20 towards the board's stripper fund should make amends.

The Concourse deed will be done.  Check it in a few.

Good man.  Bombay Sapphire is a sissy-man's liquor anyway.

While it does not have the society-pleasing side effect of prompting a public display of "the brain", it is nonetheless a fine liquor.

It is a gray area for sure.
We just don't want bamers coming over here with "N-word" jokes or anything.
Not cool.
This however, while towing the line, is funny.

Well then, the part from 2:00 to 2:45 was specifically what I was referring to.
But I recommend sticking around just after that to about 3:10 to see the booty call.

Must be a bloody Dutchman.

There are only two things I can't stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures... and the Dutch.

...nudity would technically be illegal on a forum that doesn't require a credit card if I'm not mistaken.

If you rub one out on the side of the house, you might get CLAPboard, but if you do it on the roof, you'll get shingles.  Maybe you should just spackle the drywall.
