With regards to Chatbox policy.

[CallMeDominic]

Recently, I've been accused by Muffins of being racist.

 

This is because I used the word "Negro", which is a word that many black people use.

Muffins would probably even go as far as to say that I should say "African American".

 

But why don't we refer to white people as Caucasian American?

Moreover, what if the person isn't American?

 

I contend that his swearing and biased accusations that I'm perpetuating racism are much more offensive than any non-derogatorily used terms I might arbitrarily use in conversation.

Some would say his accusations border on character assassination.

 

 

At the end of the day, he's just assuming that his taking offense is more important than other peoples' taking offense.

The heart of the issue is that I used a "bad" word affectionately, and he's used multiple swears against me in clear anger.

Let me ask you something: If "Negro" is such a bad, racist word....Why isn't it censored?

 

I even recall him saying he hated me, on one occasion.

And at the root of it all, isn't hate the source of all racism?

 

 

No-one's opinion, not even a Chatbox Assistant's, should be considered more important than anyone else's.

Please join me in showing the OSBot Staff that we want equality.

I told you multiple times to drop anything to do with races or racism. Don't try and make me look like the bad guy.

Just because someone says Negro doesn't make them racist... I'd get if he were saying in a derogatory way, but really, come on. Did anyone have a problem with what he said?

This^. I've got to actually side with Dominic on this one given the current evidence of the chat.

It doesn't matter if anyone had a problem with it at the time, It is still a rude way to refer to someone regardless. I politely asked him to stop at first and he continued.

Dominic should've abode to your commands however and most likely took it up with an administrator via PM. I'd say this issue is in the gray area. The context in which he used it was ok, on the boarder, but ok. If he were to have used it in a different manner, then by all means kick/ban as you please.

It's only rude if the person you're saying it to takes offense. And I mean really dude, you handled this pretty poorly.

If you're going to have that kind of discourse with a regular user at least do it in a PM. I find the way you acted more out of line than what was actually said.

Also, you didn't reprimand Satan for his, according to your logic, "offensive" language, when you were clearly watching the chatbox.

[Muffins]

Also Dominic, given your more than explicit history in the chatbox, i wanted to stop something before it even started.

My "explicit" history?

Do tell.

[Extreme Scripts]

Firstly I'm going to stop this in its tracks, if you have a suggestion about the Chatbox overall i.e. changing the policy then feel free to re-post without mentioning any names.

 

Second, if you have an issue with a member of the Staff Chatbox Assistants included take it up with one of the Super Moderators or @Maldesto via a PM conversation.

 

Lastly.... Closed.
