Racism in Spame.

[Derelict]

So, Rob, you said you're going to start infracting for it in spame. I've always been going by the rule where if I see someone being racist I nerd them, since well I can't do anything else. (just ask smooth beaver, I have to nerd him a lot for it.)
Doesn't it seem to apply that spame janitor should be able to hand out (small) infractions in the spame forum then?

And no, this isn't a plea for power, I just think it'd make sense.

[Rob]

I thought you guys could already. I'll ask Kwanza about it.

[Assassin]

You can always report them.

By the way, is Derelict a janitor again? Or is spame still janitorless

[BadAnkle]

Spame Janitor should also be able to edit posts.

[Rob]

There, you should be able to infract now.

[Assassin]

While we're at it, maybe the infractions for spame should be different. Spame is kind of a totally other forum than the others, so maybe instead of a ban, you get a boot from spame for the period you're supposed to be banned.

F.E.: I have 3 spame infractions, so I get booted for 3 days.

I don't know if this is hard to do/makes sense though.

[Rob]

It makes sense but might be hard to do.

On the other hand, if someone can't post in spame without getting infractions, do we really want them in the other forums?

That's like, an ubershitposter.

[Penis_Captivus]

Good point Rob I think we should stick with what we have and be thankful.

[Assassin]

Yeah, that's true. Nerdination will do the job.

[BadAnkle]

I was actually thinking that in some cases it might be fun to banish people to Spame instead of giving them a permaban. Some people aren't capable of posting a coherent thought, but could still be a source of amusement if confined to the SF.

I think this is a fantastic idea. I'm also in favor of bringing back exiling, even though I don't think I was around for it.

[Spastic]

Same here, I know i wasn't around for it, but it sounds like an awesome way to punish spame posters.

[DieHard]

I wasn't around either but exiling really does sound like it could work

[Assassin]

Exiling could work against racism in spame? :indiff:

[Beefynick]

From what has been explained to me about exiling, I like the idea. I say we implement it for at least a little while (assuming nothing like code edits have to be made to the forum or any complicated process) and see how it works. I have a feeling that everyone will be pleasantly surprised how well it works.

[Matterialize]

When I said "fantastic idea" I wasn't talking about exiling.

[Spastic]

I was replying to you exile idea, though I guess i should have deleted the first sentance in your quote to emphasize the point, I just didn't think it would be necessary. I guess i'll edit my post now though.

Ya mean like exiling them?

I still think that spame should be deleted and then give it another go in a few months. It's not fun anymore. The people are bigger tools than me, and that's pretty fucking difficult. They just are using the racist words and remarks as a way to be edgy. O MAI GAWD HE SAYD DA N WERD YO, is the reaction they are going for. But pulling the race card is lamer then FDR's legs.

[John Travolta]

You just gave Derelict a seven-six-two millimeter. Full. Metal. Jacket.

[Derelict]

FUCKED AGAIN!

Exiling worked until people started using it as a sort of "badge of honor" and it became less of a punishment and more of a "hey I rule!" thing. Then again, if it keeps them from posting in other forums I guess it can't be all bad.

[Jiggz]

And surely then spame will just be full of idiots making un-banish me threads?

[Oberlin]

And then Dere can surely nerd them and we can put them on our ignore lists.

[fabz]

I actually suggest you bring back the Pit. The Pit was worse then Spame and there wasn't a whole lot you could do to get out of it. amirtie?

[Quadros]

Yeah don't force the shit from other forums on SPAME. if you're going to banish, banish them to sub SPAME. We don't need more shit, we already have Diehard.

[Jiggz]

Fabz the pit is still alive and well. Ok it's barely existent and a little worse for wear, but it's still there.

[Oofie]

It's there, but people aren't banished to it, it's just like another spame with less posters and a whitewash.

[Assassin]

Yeah, I think I'm the one responsible for that =/

[Derelict]

I can just delete those. If they're not on the first or second page when I come online then clearly they weren't a big deal, but if someone continues to make them hellooooo infraction.

Yeah, I think I'm the one responsible for that =/

Assface.

[Smooth B]

I'm black I can call other people niggers.



Being nerded sucks btw. That works pretty well as a punishment.

[Derelict]

You're not fucking black, Smooth Beaver. I've seen a picture of you.

[Rob]

I'm black I can call other people niggers.


Sure, but not on the forums.

[RabidMonkey]

I like the fact that on here, you're equal no matter your race. Because in real life we all know that white middle aged males are the most discriminated against people in all the world. Because anything they say or do is sexist, racist, or something else.

Well you're equal unless you're a mod or admin, then you're better than the rest.

[BadAnkle]

Well you're equal unless you're a mod or admin, then you're better than the rest.

I got news for you. I'm exactly the same asshole I was the day before my name turned orange. I'm just an asshole with a badge.

I don't think I'm better than anybody. Well, that's not really true. I mean, I am pretty awesome. I'd say I'm better than most people. But that's not because I'm a mod. And it's definitely not because I'm white. I'm better than most white people, too.

You're so alternative.

[RabidMonkey]

And that badge automatically makes you awesome. Basically because you can tell us to get the fuck out if we displease you, but we can't tell you to get the fuck out. :lol:

And what you mean Misty?

Fuck you I'm not equal to you

[RabidMonkey]

Yes you are, you're just cooler.

[Derelict]

I just checked and apparently I can't give out infractions still. I don't think it's really a problem, but I'm just telling you.

[Mr Anorexia]

Yeah so far there hasn't really been a need for infractions in spame.

[Raxo]

Nerding as a punishment is just fine.

[Mr Anorexia]

Not really, nerding doesn't really do anything now.

[BAN ME PLEASE]

except annoy this crap out of people who have to see like 4 people just type "I AM A NERD. NOONE CARES WHAT I HAVE TO SAY ANYMORE"

[Beefynick]

There has to be a better alternative to nerding because I agree that seeing a bunch of posts by people who are nerded in a row is extremely annoying.

Nerding is not that great of a punishment because it does not keep the people who are nerded from spame. They just post even more when they are nerded which gets annoying.

[Raxo]

Then just boot them temporarily. Most Spamers don't care for the rest of the forums all to much so booting them would be a good punishment.

[BKS]

The only problem I have is Nerding without reason. I'd like to know why I get nerded, and which Janitor did it.

[Mr Anorexia]

I didn't nerd you. Any mod can nerd, by the way.

[Derelict]

I almost never nerd anyone, ever. The only people I've ever nerded have been Lagfish, who sucks anyway, and people who were racist.

Oh and people who quote nerds. Not really a rule to not quote nerds but it's funny.

[Raxo]

Did you nerd me?

[Derelict]

No, I didn't nerd you.

[John Travolta]

I did.

[BKS]

Either way, I still think we should be informed about which mod nerds us. Perhaps it would stop abuse of Mod powers

[junglebunny]

Then we'll have racists in the other forums!

[Derelict]

Confidentiality, man. You don't need to know why you were nerded.

[Coconuts]

We shouldn't need to see which mod nerded you. It would be ok for older members, but younger members would harass the mods to un-nerd them.

As for racism, I feel scared to make a joke about race, not that it would really offend anyone, or be outright hate against people of a different race.

[BKS]

Confidentiality, man. You don't need to know why you were nerded.

Confidentiality is fine. I dont care who does it. Really.



Just put yourself in my position for a second. You post somethings, the next second you are nerded. Why? If it's used to punish people doing stupid things its one thing, but just for a Mod to have fun, it's stupid.

[Assassin]

Why the fuck is it so awful to be nerded?

Faggots.

[junglebunny]

yeah i know there just isnt any justice in the world anymore

[Derelict]

Why the fuck is it so awful to be nerded?

Faggots.

It really isn't. That's why infractions should be given out.

If Mr. Anorexia and I do have the power to infract, I have no idea how to do it.

[Rob]

No reason for this to be open anymore.
