It's just a personal experience that shows that context is everything when it comes to that word.
But that's off topic...
What IS on topic is why all the race related threads are blocked? Even the thread about Nicki Minaj calling Steven Tyler racist was deleted immediately.........does ATRL lose sponsors or something if there are any race-related discussions on the forum?
To clarify, my black guy (I don't want to say his name for privacy reasons obviously so this is what I'm referring to him as) asked me to call him the N-word because he thinks it's hot And it makes the fantasy realistic, I didn't want to but he insisted so yeah
How can I get warned for this, it's just my opinion, I didn't insult anyone or post anything hateful or offensive
I would really appreciate if a moderator reversed the point, it was totally unwarranted. It's like, do I have to follow what the majority of ATRL thinks all the time on this site or get warned otherwise? The thread is about iTunes (so individual songs, which is what I was talking about and gave examples of Kelly's smashes) and I was just expressing my opinion and backed it up with examples. Absolutely no reason for a WP. There was no subsequent "flamewar" or anything either. Just a harmless post and it gets warned for what? How is that flamebait? Can one not have an opinion, even if they explain it?
Next time just have me or Duca report the post. Our reports are always ignored even when we report far worse.
Are you planning to get new moderators? Cause, you really need them. The amount of time that you take to handle the reports.
I know you all do your best, so that's why I am saying there should be more moderators.
One thing you have to understand is that many of the mods are going through finals time right now, either taking exams/doing papers/what have you or grading said papers or exams. This is always one of the toughest times of the year for the mods. Things will get back to normal after finals. And they better, since the Best of forum will start by then.
And it makes the fantasy realistic, I didn't want to but he insisted so yeah
I no longer see him perched.
