Lowtax posted:Then just ban or probate the dude for trolling. There doesn't need to be a specific rule saying people of one skin color have more power than another. It's negrotown. It was created as a an offshoot of Negrotown. A thread for the black people. The assumption was that the majority of posters would black yes? This being the folks who would be made uncomfortable? But whatever, I will reword it when I get to a computer.

Lowtax posted:Wait, now I'm being racist because I created an entire subforum dedicated to race discussion, one that people said they wanted? I love how every decision I make is instantly vilified by both political spectrums. The left says I'm being racist for making a forum. The right says I'm being a cuck (or whatever) because I'm giving a special safe place for the left. I said it earlier, but I think this was a bad idea, not because it creates a race discussion subforum, but because it puts a target on people's backs and it is basically a honeypot. I personally won't be posting here that much anymore, just because its just going to be pages of even more driveby shitposting, but I appreciate the gesture. We do need some sports mods over in the sports forums though, I can't leave there until Buffalo makes the playoffs and Alabama gets the National Championship back.

Koalas March, I've already sent you a pm in the past. Just checking if I can post in the negro town. Yes I'm black but I've avoided this thread (and DnD in general) but I got probated for various reasons. One of which is posting here. I really don't know why you felt that way but I want to clear it up again for the record.

it's already implicitly understood that bad posting that nobody likes will result in bans/probations so i don't think any redundant rules on that topic are necessary either way prohibiting people only from this forum is less effective than probating them, which does the entire forum the service of removing losers from the posting pool

It happens everytime a thread gets punted to its own subforum. Get real. If threads like this one and other ones KM heavily moderated don't fit your comedy forum roadmap or your personal preference just straight up gas them and ban the posters. Opening up this to dogpiling so you can be like 'whew that sure was a mess' before nuking it away is weak.

It seemed like a few people went with the idea and it got ran with immediately. And not entirely to throw words in your face, but if you don't see posters' race then how do you know that this is really what the NT posters wanted to begin with? This may have gone through a little too quickly. Hell if only for the connotation alone.

Lowtax posted:But this forum is not a forum for just black people. Believe it or not, some black people have absolutely terrible opinions and ideas about things, so I do not believe they should be given a position of higher power based on skin color. That rule has no reason to be in there, and is covered by the forum catch-all no-trolling rule. Koalas March posted:No one is removing anyone for the "sin" of being white. But if a (theoretical) poster is making ALL the poc posters in that group 'uncomfortable' with their posting they will be removed. Because 9 times out of 10 what they're posting is thinly veiled/dog whistle racism

If you want this to be a serious forum for race discussion (rather than, less charitably, a means of getting PoC posters out of d&d proper because some admins and mods find them troublesome and don't want to go through the trouble of culling racists from the ostensibly comedic remainder of the forum), why not allow the people who are interested in race discussion to moderate it the way they know, based on experience, it needs to be moderated? You profess to be mostly uninterested in the forums' political drama, and want your forum to be chill and on-brand. Having already created a distinct subspace for segregating this kind of discussion, why not leave it to the people who are interested in it, and who have more stake in it?

Well, it's his website. At a guess, he doesn't want to be the guy who made the racist place on his website where white people are second class citizens. Even if that's a completely stupid thing for people to say, they will.
