Seven separate instances. Seven separate reports.
One nose-out-of-joint moderator looking for any excuse to abuse his power (again), by way of revenge for...?
Don't bother! I'll save you the trouble. 10 days good for you?
I think the problem here is the acknowledgement of a report!! It has nothing in place. If a member reports a situation the site needs to acknowledge that the report is "on with"
We mods see the report, time and time again I see mods "answering" but forget that the members do not see the answer.. We really need to PM the individual and explain what we are doing.. Also remember, some newbies are pressing report as they think its the reply " language thing" so the report list will just get parsed without examination.... Trying to get them to stop isn't easy..
I do not believe any Mod here is malicious.. We all do this voluntarily.. If you report something, wait a while as we do discuss the report and then take a unified action.
As for the banning... Oh look ! you are still here..
Pommie ! It's quite hard as the individual isn't really racist.... Everyone is targeted especially us Brits... At worst even if someone shows mistrust in another being, its not really race hate.. I have never been racist... We are all part of the same race... There is good and bad in every ethnic group... What tends to happen is migration of low paid, low educated people searching for a better life, give false vibes around their ethnicity and thus their ethnic group as a whole. Wrong!! but them's the facts.
I lived in South Africa where the Brits huddled together as a group and this caused doubt and anger amongst the South Africans.. They disliked us very much.. But it cannot be confused with downright racism.. because it isn't..
The movements like Nazism and Islamic extremism are racists, as they would eliminate ethnic groups..
