Its not about being sensitive, its about every thread being derailed into some sort of nonsense by the same people. Good topics are destroyed and the discussion is dumbed down to personal insults, attacks and racial nonsense. Someone posting 'I don't like blacks' isn't the problem...its when every thread someone posts blacks are inferior, calls someone a fag, calls all Christians dumb asses and so on...no matter what the topic. Its when someone has a different opinion and the ad hominem attacks begin.If nonstop racial nonsense, attacks on Christianity, personal attacks, posts laden with curse words, and thread hijacking means everything is going along fine...then so be it.
The modding/user problem comes up when someone gets a little TOO sensitive.
If someone posts "I don't like blacks," that's really not a problem. And too many people see even the slightest disagreement against their faith as an attack. And so on...
This board is the Wild West. Isn't each and every new member given warning in their introduction threads? Outside of the CDZ and the Lounge things can get hairy. And they will.
The best solutions are to pos/neg good/bad posters, rate threads, and back out of threads that you can't get a grip on. A lot of members avoid certain forums entirely.
This is where the moderators need to step in...or before long, this is going to be a forum that is nothing more than a sounding board for radicals on both sides and an entropic mishmash of vitriol and attacks. Maybe that's what the admin wants, I don't know, but it sure does get old quick.
