Racist/Sexist/Whatever... :-@

Wednesday, February 18, 2004 by Deano_Oz | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I'd really like to know what the policy is here on the Forum... I've seen a fairly nasty "sexist" remark regarding a "nice WB skin", and I've left an appropriate reply. I only wonder if it had been me and said... "Dont be so damn black!! .... Dont be so damn jewish!!.... Dont be so damn muslim!!.... Dont be so damn asian!!.... Dont be so damn straight!! .... I wonder how long my lifespan would be here?

I am a gay man... a proud one too,... but to see such comments such as "Dont be so damn gay!!"... it really makes me wonder... Dean

Sheesh.. I just read thru a few threads... so many people have forgotten that these wonderful artworks (like em or not) are handed to us on a platter, we have the cream of the crop here at WinCustomize, there should be no personal likes/dislikes, but praise or constructive ideas for those that have given their time, effort and skill in giving us a wonderful GUI.

Here's a couple that you guys missed. I never could figure out why this guy singled me out but his slaughtering of the english language shocked me!

Them that can 'do' .... them that can't become self appointed 'critics'!
As for the 'gay' remark .... ill manners and ignorance often go together.

Ta jafo...after the chat in the other thread about censorship I feel a little hypocritical now, but since the board moderators/owners wish this to be a family site, I feel I've done my duty bringing the infringement to your attention

Sput....this isn't the throttling of free speech....this is teaching kids not to fart at the dinner table...

I wonder if it would be possible for you admins to have the message board etc. set up to send you an alert when certain words are posted. That might make it easier for you guys to deal with these sorts of problems as soon as the occur.

well that will be no good cuz then it gives the rest of us no time to catch the nasty remark posted! hehe j/k

Doreen sees Jafo, Koasati and Paxxy getting IM's every 5 secs for "He said the word "you suck" on the msg board please remove it now!"

hiya sis

as long as people realize we don't read every comment on every skin and if someone is offended by something they need to bring it to an admin's attention (email being the prefferred method unless it's dire and then IM is cool) then it should work ok.
