2) Can KM remove the bullshit redtexts some psycho keeps buying for people nonstop?
I've been removing redtexts on request, because a lot of the ones in D&D have been super egregious these last few months. KM technically could but it's way easier to do through the admin panel, so I'll just remind everyone to contact me if you want a text blanked out.

don't know about #1 but IIRC #2 has to be done by an admin, but a mod can expedite things
Mods can change titles in the forum they moderate, but the changes go into the queue like bans and longer probations, so it takes a little more time.

Yeah, I just figured it might be helpful if you didn't have to handle every single case all by yourself. Since KM is active in these threads she can see when people have been given crappy titles in real time and just nuke them right then.
She can definitely queue them up, just be aware that it'll take a bit. But of course, if you ask an admin and they're not around it still takes a bit. So I guess it's all the same, really.

 TIC, there's a reason you get probated all the time in D&D. It's not because you're The Most Reasonable Poster.

Don't you get it? This is our ancient British culture that is under attack.

Eugh, white people are poo poo.
It's honestly a pretty easy attitude to understand, especially in an area like this. You're talking about a rural population in England with a tradition going back hundreds of years, and they're being told that it's wrong due to historical and cultural contexts largely based in another country and originating in practices under two centuries old - the minstrel show as we know it comes from the late 1800s (as I understand it, correct me if it's older). That doesn't make it right: blackface is offensive in any context, it's blackface. But you can get why it's hard to convince a group like this, and why it might be a bit more complex than simple white privilege.

drat, the heart of SA is really being fought over tooth and nail this week, isn't it?
People certainly think so, but here's a secret: it's not.

Michigan used to have a big Klan presence, and some have lingered. Howell, for example, was a sundown town and is still racist AF to this day. A friend of mine got attacked there actually.
Rural Michigan is really bad, and I say this coming from Idaho. It's honestly way worse than most of the Midwest and even parts of the South. I have no idea why.

 Sixers make people insane more than any other probation. I've given people entire months without a peep, but sixers break brains. And it's not just me, or just recently. This is something mods have talked about going back years.

Why would anyone censor that, you dick?

 It also means they don't know poo poo about Jackson, they're making a movie about the Jackson caricature popularized in the last, what, 10 years of his life?

 I spoke to the other whites, and we've put together a list of acceptable black protests:

Shucking and jiving
Saying "Oh lawd!" [Note: we're still debating "Nuh-uh!"]
Baking a pie, then sharing it with your white neighbors
Raps without swears in
Apologetic silence
Sighing in private
Friendly smiles at half-mast
Sitting in the middle of the bus
Madea Goes To Washington
Reading that day's "Boondocks," then clipping out the Dilbert next to it and putting that up in your cubicle

Yes that's what I was getting at. Sorry if it wasn't clearly phrased.
It probably was, I just didn't recognize it.
