So even with the tweeting about how asking for a black mod is racist youre still gonna pretend this isnt at all about race?

Because of people like you, who make race an issue, sure. Let's all be racists up in this joint, hip hop, yo mama zim zam.

Guys, please make sure that every joke you make is inclusive and makes fun of every type of person at the same time in equal proportions or none at all.
Exclusionary jokes are the way to reinforce the patriarchy and are the primary reason for the divide between the minorities and the inferior people.

Wait, gently caress, are some of you being held hostage by woke terrorists and being forced to read the Negrotown threads?! Do you need help, for someone to call the police to come rescue you? Post one racial slur for yes, two slurs for no.

My single biggest regret of the last three years is that I took pictures of the Rowdy Trout and didn't buy it, because it has since been erased from history. I literally cannot track one down. Not on ebay, not on the Sergeants website, nowhere. You can even still buy that same line of toys, Crazy Paws, at Safeway.

I believe the entire purpose of this thread was to point out that a forum called "Debate and Discuss" should be *more* lenient with free speech, as opposed to more intolerant. I do not believe anything said was to be interpreted as "we are racists and want more racists." It's kind of the exact opposite.

To be honest, the OP sorta reeks of a jumping into hot waters foot first not knowing anything about modding a forum that is set up like D&D, I mean I haven't modded poo poo for forums but D&D seems whole 'nother beast compared to the reason for other sub-forums existing. While god knows a lot of D&D posters are pant-making GBS threads retards, it's basically a slippery slope. Like what the hell does "This is a place where people pay to post, and have a right to express their personal opinions as long as they are not personally attacking anyone else." mean? That it's D&D: the soapbox and anybody can just start de-rails for days? (because that's what will happen imo, people will just get into back and forths forever) Debate is by it's nature pretty formal/structured so there is a expectation of a certain posting style, you know what I mean. I dunno, I think the type of forums we have (chronological post as opposed to say reddit style or some other crap) just are really poorly suited to this type of activity since it only takes a few people to gently caress up a thread and make it unreadable cause there are like 800 new post that nobody wants to read through. Hell, if anything the problem with D&D is that any old moron can post, myself included. It doesn't matter what you know, you can start a an argument and yap about it without evidence and not change a mind in the world.

I dunno, maybe threads should be cordoned more strictly, like there are chat threads but maybe mods should just roll out a framework for "thread format" that would be stated in the OP where it's explicit exactly what is expected/rules and they vary in intensity of Debate (post with references only) to Discussion (chat threads). I dunno, that sorta happens already. C-SPAM basically sorta fills this "be more loose" niche already anyway and I practically exclusively post there so maybe idk poo poo about how to mod D&D.


Basically, God have mercy on D&D mods because shitposters will not.
