If you want to bring up the racism argument, you might at least want to read through the thread and answer in the context of previous posts on the subject. Either way, however, I don't think it's very strange that outright spam is treated more harshly by moderators than forbidden opinions.

is it me or are there a lot of you fucking faggots getting offended over that silly little word?

as a gay man i give literally 0 shits and anyone that isn't gay shouldn't concern themselves over the use of a word that doesn't even pertain to them. if it's a slur that's not even related to what you are then it's pretty much on par with every other insult the kids on XBoxlive call you.

You can't hurt a Swede by calling him bad, because that's precisely what we aspire to. If you wanted to hurt me, you'd have to call me out for being better than someone somehow; I would then have to vehemently defend myself as worse.

Just because I'm against racism doesn't mean I offended by it. I'm personally not offended by anything really. and btw there is worse than just calling people nigger here.

This, I live right next to San Francisco, and most of my gay friends use the term only as a derogatory insult for the over the top fucktards that walk around screaming about how gay they are. Never once have they complained about any of us using the term "Faggot" in conversation.

Speaking of which, The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence throw some meeeeean parties. Pic fucking related, the most Flamboyant and awesome gay guys you will ever meet.

Really? Banning someone for posting spam in a spambot thread is terrible moderation?

posting on a thread like that is stupid and annoying, but I genuinely find it amusing that you deem it worse than actual and blatant racism.


that guy got like a 1 day ban for that. then he got a week, a 2 week, and a perma for various other offenses. i'm assuming it's the guy in the op, confirmed butthurt.
