Default Moderators, Why Allow So Much Racism?

Seriously, you guys just let racism slide.

Start a thread about how the ghetto would be in the ZA, which is nothing but Black people, according to the author, because all Black people live in Ghettos apparently.

The mods response? It's fine!

Members refer to Black people as America's former slaves: yeah, because all Black people are. Look at the President's father...

Mods response? No problem! Keep the post and person around!

You moderators need some diversity and sensitivity training because you're really sucking at your job.

Perhaps TTG needs to add some new volunteers.

You're right, we should be more racist against other races/cultures.

So the alternative to insensitive or dubious comments is blanket censorship. I like that.

There's a difference between people whose only experience with urban slums is gangsta rap and popular culture references making inaccurate statements, and people complaining about how much they hate this game because the protagonist is black.

Gonna get up on your soapbox about sexism, ageism, egoism or perjorism and any of the other multitude is "isms" present on this board? Censorship doesn't cure racism, but exposure and education might. It's just as much the responsibility of forum members to speak up, as it is the moderators.

Racism should be purged, but not like this.

Oh hush and quit assuming things. I know quite well that Ghetto doesn't equal black people. My mother is black for buddha's sake.....I love blacks, whites, mexicans, and every other race. I just started a thread to create fun and interesting discussion, not cause another L.A. riot. I'm sorry if I offended you or anybody else but chill out bro.

So, start another thread about it, which will end in the same bullshit. Congratulations.

Panda, this is not acceptable. If you have a problem, PM the moderators. If they do not respond according to your exact wishes, tough.
