Making a separate Negrotown subforum was a really bad idea. It has basically put a target on the posters of this thread.

Lowtax posted:One request: "If the black folks here feel uncomfortable with your posting, or ask you to leave, loving leave. Respect our boundaries. Otherwise you will be probated or banned." It's either that or just a long string of bans or probations, otherwise it'll be the same as the thread before and you've solved nothing. Otherwise it'll be separate but not equal. then again how did we even get here

Lowtax posted:One request: "If the black folks here feel uncomfortable with your posting, or ask you to leave, loving leave. Respect our boundaries. Otherwise you will be probated or banned." I would argue against this because we get a bunch of people coming into threads that are sea lioning and "just asking questions," who do it just to troll, and that rule makes it clear that we won't put up with that bullshit. But I guess like most other forums, we can basically have a catch all rule that probates/bans you for being a lovely poster and the same effect is achieved.

If SA is going to make the Negrotown thread into autonomous Kurdistan they should at least be allowed to police themselves. Otherwise I guess yu'd have a form of apartheid.

I mean, it's technically more lax than those catch all rules too, given that they are just asked to leave instead of being outright probated.

Even though I am extremely not a POC, I am very excited to read this new forum. In particular, I am very loathe to post a thread myself but I would love to read about POC in academia, especially STEM areas. I know some of the history of POC in academia (including slavery, although this book demands a more thorough read https://www.amazon.com/Ebony-Ivy-Troubled-Americas-Universities/dp/1596916818 ) and some of the barriers that exist for POC. But I'd like to learn more!

You could probably reword the rule to be like: "If the black folks here feel uncomfortable with your posting, or ask you to leave, that means you're probably about to be probated or banned if you keep doing what you're doing. If you don't want to be probated or banned, it may be a good idea to step back from posting here and think about why the black posters are saying this!" Gets the same message across without saying "if we say you have to leave you literally must leave immediately or you will be banned," which I think is what Lowtax's problem is. Probate/ban people for bad posting, not because the goons in the thread have decreed you're not allowed to post here anymore.

We don't have race listed under our avatar. If someone is too stupid to heed several warnings, then KM can just simply ban them.

It's absolutely unfair to give one group of people with a certain skin color the power to force others of a different skin color to leave a thread. That is absolutely racism.

I think it would be a good idea to have a crew thread where this rule will be enforced and have something more generalist for the whole negrotown subforum so that some debate may happen even if it makes some posters unhappy but they can still have a thread to relax in.

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:You could probably reword the rule to be like: Yeah. The spirit of the rule was "if almost all of the black people here think you're being an insulting shithead, we're gonna make you GTFO, because it means you're being an insulting shithead to black people generally." No harm in fixing that up so that this reading of it: Lowtax posted:It's absolutely unfair to give one group of people with a certain skin color the power to force others of a different skin color to leave a thread. That is absolutely racism. is no longer possible.
