A few did, but this is less about KM being a mod and more that D&D needs moderators that A) aren't thin skinned babies, and B) allow people to post freely as long as they aren't lovely about it. Neither of these things are solved by this.

It might be if Lowtax authorizes KM to moderate the Negrotown subforum however she sees fit and takes away the excuse people have used to poo poo on these threads existing prior to them being in this subforum.

They aren't different though. This thread or forum shouldnt even have to exist. It was created explicitly because one of the mods wanted black people segregated from the rest.

American political discussion and black issues are extremely related and we shouldn't need a subforum or even a separate thread to discuss them. Better D&D mods will make this kind of redundant.

okay I will address this later, I gotta take a huge loving poo poo and then pick up my kids from school, but I will be back

I guess you become pretty thin-skinned when you can ban anyone who sasses you for the last 20 years


e: I think Negrotown subforum is a pretty OK idea tbh. I mean the ghettoization has already happened so why not commit and at least there can be some Black Panther goons to police their ghetto

Okay how about this: Negrotown can have its own subforum, and KM can mod it.

This is actually a fantastic idea

Make a subforum called The Safe Space and then a wild west D&D with different atmospheres

I honestly wasn't intending to be a troll or anything, I genuinely asked because I've only ever seen white people say that. And it's usually followed by some racist poo poo. I'm not in any way accusing you or anyone else of anything, by the way. It sounded kind of dog-whistle-ey to me and I figured I'd ask people more knowledgeable than myself.

I've lurked in this thread since it started because I've found it incredibly informative and I am always trying to learn how to not be a racist piece of poo poo. Between this thread and the Misogynoir thread I feel like I've learned a lot. So, thanks for that.

Anyway that's my 2 cents I'll go back to lurking now.

You suggested it eight minutes before you made the shift. That's not enough time for any great number of people to see it, read it, think it through, and go 'wait no sto-'. This is a deep structural problem with the forum, and it probably isn't going to be fixed in less time than it takes to make and eat a nice sandwich.

This is probably a better use of a whole rear end subforum. Negrotown can be the Black people thread. You could have a thread for all ethnicities beliefs or whatever.

Stop being a crybaby. Creating a separate space where nobody can claim "my precious sub-forum tradition!" when a mod gives them plenty of warning and probates them is exactly the kind of solution that works on the internet.

Now we just need to move this thread over here and ask people posting in other minority threads scattered around the forums if they'd like to be moved as well.

Think of it as an opportunity to have an actual place where drive-by shitposters and trolls can't blithely post bullshit without getting called on it.

As mayor of Negrotown, I promise that we're gonna thrive. I meant it when I said I cared about D&D and posting an I am going to make Negrotown great. I believe in human beings, and that all human beings should be respected as such, regardless of their color. I'm going to mod Negrotown well. Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change. I think Lowtax did the right thing. Don’t be in a hurry to condemn because he doesn’t do what you do or think as you think or as fast. There was a time when you didn’t know what you know today. As it was when I was a D&D mod of Negrotown before, We will continue to be nonviolent with people who are nonviolent with us.

I know a lot of you are disappointed by the new subforum, but remember: There is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance next time. A race of people is like an individual man; until it uses its own talent, takes pride in its own history, expresses its own culture, affirms its own selfhood, it can never fulfill itself, and that is why Negrotown exists in the first place.

I mean we're already on the path though, I think a subforum for discussing social justice issues is something that could end up pretty productive.

it's going to be a rough start, but it could develop into a nice place for discussing these issues. I don't see why it has to turn into helldump at all.

I just think an isolated subforum called NEGROTOWN sends a really really really bad message, and the vision of this subforum could be much wider and encompass a lot of social issues you guys all care about.

if you want this subforum to thrive your first order of business should be posting a sticky with a list of rules

because nerdy white folk like myself posting on this here comedy forum aren't going to get what it means to be racist

put a clear list of rules at the top, if you violate them you get probated/banned, and you guys might have yourself a nice little subforum without having to constantly educate people every time they post in your threads. the education is all in one post at the top everybody is required to read before participating
