Arrow Very Serious Warning!!

Racism is a very serious topic, concern and problem on the internet. On this board, we banned several members for racist remarks in the past. This has to stop. To be honest, racism pisses me off and is not accpeted on this website.
We at fightforum do not judge people in terms of skin color, heritage, nationality.
We judge people in terms of personality.

Bottom line: - No racists comments of any kind. Period.

oh you said we judge people in terms of personality.... but we cant really even do that, because we would be banned if we put our opinions of their personality if it were negative....

the rest of your post i agree with 100% there is no place for that on FF or anywhere for that matter

I think he means that if we were judged on our personalities that if a mod/admin found our personality unfavorable we would be gone.

Racism really pisses me off as well. That thread in the UFC section was an absolute joke, there is just no way to justify racism of any kind. To me skin color is no more important than the color of somebody's eyes.

I completely agree. Thats why I tipped a mod off to it so it wouldnt go much further. I could just see a banning or two coming if it kept going.

While that does make some sense, I think that here on the forums, a member's personality is a culmination of their actions (in posts), their statements, and their thoughts as they present them to the forums. On the internet, there isnt much more of a way to judge a persons personality. On that right there, a person's personality might be deemed a bad fit for the forums and a justified removal of that person could take place. I think one such example is Sean Cannon. While his posts weren't necessarily a basis for being banned on their own; once compiled along with his attitudes and constant attemtps to get people to make derogatory statements towards homosexuals was reason for being banned.

I believe that judging a persons "personality", as far as here on the forums, is something that is done daily, whether we recognize it or not.

Because he was hard to understand and your post put it more clearly. I just thought that it was obvious it wasnt you that posted that by the wording of your post. I was just using the easiest post to understand. I can swap them out if it bothers you.

Skin color has as much to do here as is does in the octagon--none, just to clarify. Oh God, I hope I don't start a thread
