I have also wondered this and I have to say I believe a few of the mods to be prejudice to be honest.

it would wouldn't it, but unfortunately I didn't say it was fact I said I believe; if you would like to know why I have these beliefs then thats a question you need to ask me.

so people are allowed to create racist threads, but i cant create a racially defensive post without getting a warning... um okay. Mods on here are stupid and up their own arses thinking they own the place.
I called Islam stupid and it got edited in under one hour lol

I only joined yesterday but have not seen that much racism at all tbh :smile:

How about you read the thread? I said in the very first post on here after the OP that we don't allow racist threads.

Why waste your time calling us "stupid" then? You should have been having suhoor then or something.

I never said I took it to heart! :tongue: It just annoyed me a little that people on here think we allow racism...as someone who's been on the receiving end of it the past many times, it just wasn't nice being told that we don't care or being told that we're stupid for that. It doesn't matter whether it's online or not, words can have an effect sometimes. :sadnod:

I always cringe when I hear people crying for tighter moderation on any online platform it's like hello are you new to the internet?

It's a pity you can't ask someone to moderate your IRL. :lol:

It's actually downright ridiculous how many racist threads/posts I see on this forum.

Quite frankly, the "anti-hate speech" thing in the rules seems to be a load of rubbish, because there are also a billion anti-woman threads on here every day, which seem to be made by the same people with multiple accounts which I presume is also against the rules.

Now, AFAIK the Student Room is meant to be a student site and not some kind of subtle, pretending-to-be-innocent version of Stormfront.

So why do the moderators here turn such a blind eye to this sort of thing?

Half the racist threads and posts I see would get shut down in under a couple of hours in the other forums I frequent. But here they go on for days and weeks.

Especially given how many people on this site are under 18, TSR really needs to take more responsibility and tighten up application of its modding rules.



Here's a solution for you: push the report post button.

What and get this kind of condescending response? What's the point?

You had an openly fascist and racist mod on here not that long ago. Clearly you're not at all interested in evidence.

That was different. I was just saying that people from different races shouldn't be in relationships or have mixed race children together (especially considering the circumstances I highlighted in that thread), that's all. That has nothing to do with racism. You should look up the definition of the word. I have not seen any racism on TSR.



While we're at it, let's have separate bathrooms and only allow certain races into certain bars and restaurants :rolleyes:
I'm in a mixed race relationship and if you don't think that telling someone who they should/shouldn't be with based on race isn't racist, then you're not paying enough attention to the meaning of that definition you're holding up. :s-smilie:
