Serious question for you caeser.
What has made you crack down lately? Is it because you personally don't like it? You think a more "correct" forum will bring more traffic? Or people complaining?
I'm kind've curious cuz this came outta no where really.
It is because I asked nicely for people not to use the n-word and you all treated it like a joke and decided to play e-rebel. So you pushed me into a corner.
As to why I dont want racism on this forum, it do not believe it will have any effect on traffic no. People have complained yes. But at the end of the day I think it is wrong.
As cliche as it sounds now, Obama is President, it is time we moved on, and I think jokes about race are played out. Not only do they break the racism rule but they also lower the overall IQ of the forum.
I asked nicely, people acted more offended than I asked them not to be racist then they though their racist jokes would offend others. Then people thought it would be cool and fun to rebel and see how much they can push me, even creating threads just for the the attention and admitting they knew they would be closed anyway, because they were wrong. So why do it other than to be a complete asshole?
Im tired of playing games. The guidelines are there and will be enforced. Perhaps if people weren't assholes I would allow one or two indisgretion here or there in the name of fun but certain posters take pride in breaking the rules and think it is cool.
So they acted, I reacted. Simple.
