In fact, the entire thread should be removed. I'm sorry, but being attacked by some yahoos claiming to be Christian and calling them Christians(they don't attack) is just a huge can of worms that shouldn't be opened here. The ignorance displayed in threads like this... it's just flamebait and should be halted before it starts.
 
uh the thread looked fine to me... that post you quoted was by and large ignored. seems like you may have something of an agenda.
 
Omg a troll thread about how someone hates Christians actually locked for once?? 😕

Now if only this would become the trend.. 🙁

I don't hate Christians, and it wasn't a troll thread. I just thought it was a funny situation and a funny comeback that I came back with.
 
Malak you are replacing Oldsmoboat as the FI "complaint person". Unless you are looking for a custom avatar, I suggest you tone it down. :beer:

If I did that he might throw a fit. Then again, he can throw a fit no matter what I post so it doesn't really matter.

Who has a custom avatar?
 
People say some of the most racist things on this board and nothing is done about it, but dare to attack religion and a thread gets locked faster than a Ferrari in Harlem. Sigh..

Well I've completely reduced my forum listing to the 2 forums that aren't even watched by mods and this one. This one, however, has a warning that it isn't monitored by mods, so make that 3. Surprisingly, these 3 forums have the fewest trolls.

You are making a faulty deduction. You are assuming that the mods have time to read every single comment and thread on all of the forums. They are not full-time employees of AT forums and most are volunteers from everything I understand. They do read a bunch of stuff, but not everything. AND since it is THEY and not THE mod, they each have their own threshold of 'pain'.

If you find that you think is offense or questionable, PM a mod and they can at least debate if they should take action.

I'd completely agree if it were a one time thing; however it's not - it's a culture of racism. I suppose the gist of it is that this forum has a great deal of racist members from the midwest & deep south, and that the moderators are only culling out post(er)s which go against the norm here. Just make an "I like rap" thread in off topic if you need a bit of perspective on the subject.

Any links to what you are claiming? Not to say it is not true, but I dont read every post in every thread. I do not notice a racist overtone in OT. In fact, i have seen numerous occasions where someone has posted something remotely questionably and been jumped on by the majority of the board members. And as posted above... if you dont PM a mod with it, they wont know about it at all.

Not being well aware of it would be like not knowing this is primarily a tech forum. Search OT for some of the flamewars about rap music. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

This is a very prejudicial statement to make. A) Racism is not usually defined the way folks throw the word around. B) Your regional pointers tend to lead me to think that your's might be the bigoted opinion.

The last time I saw a racist statement at AT, it was made by someone from Cali (I know it resulted in a vacation/ban). I have seen prejudical statements too, but I cannot pin a certain region of the country on them.

Did I not receive the memo informing us that music styles are now considered races?

I believe that it is obvious that RBachman meant the racial feelings and mood towards rap at AT...


I believe that there is no real racism at AT, there can be some sprinkled comments here and there, but if not see by the mods right away and dealt with, they are reported and then dealt with. It is nothing of any concern if you ask me, the mods would have eventually locked the OP's report anyway, they are just very busy and the post was created not very long before this complaint was brought up.

NFS4 has a custom avatar.

Maybe it's me. I guess I am just stupid. SickBeast was talking about me and mentioned a custom avatar. That's how I read it. But you guys read something else. 😕

LOL. He stated that Malak was replacing you as the FI complaint person. The custom avatar had nothing to do with you. What SickBeast was probably implying is that if Malak kept whining, he'd get a custom avatar. SickBeast didn't imply that you had one.
