I've been out of town and away from here for a few days so hope this hasn't already been posted, but this is great...the Antifa Frog had its air vent pepper-sprayed the other night in front of the ICE building in Portland hahaha Give this officer a raise

 
He flat out called Saddle a n****r and barely a word was said to him. He got more ridicule from the public than he did from any mod. In fact, the only mod to barely address it was MM (last screen grab) who subsequently did nothing about RGX's blatant racism. No ban, no you need to apologize, no hey not cool bro, nothing.
Wrong... unless I'm not remembering correctly. I thought he received a time-out for the posts made on Sep 2nd?

I've done my best to find a record of it but unfortunately we aren't privy to ban history, as I've recently found out.

And as you can see RGX continued to be blatantly racist towards Saddle. He just stopped using the actual word and says "n word" instead. Plus there are continued postings with him saying things to the effect of "I called you that because it's what you are" peppered throughout. Even with all this nothing is or has been said or done.
That's 'cause he entered a grey area. Didn't state inferiority. Didn't use the N word.

Anyone can say, "the N word", as you and I have just done.

To quote MM "Consistency / impartiality and all that" but what we're seeing is anything but.... There's been no transparency.... RGX's infraction is swept under the rug and continually ignored.
Addressed above.

Nothing swept under-the-rug. If I can confirm that he didn't receive the time-out or warning I thought he did, he'll be taking a holiday.

I want to add I'm not trying to single out MM, it just happens to be his posts that are relevant to the situation.
That's 'cause I've always been transparent, something you just said there was none of ("There's been no transparency...").

In summary:
If someone can prove he didn't receive a time-out or warning, he'll get one now.
If @RGX_Custom could Kindly and in good faith confirm whether or not he received one, that would obviously be appreciated too.

Yeah @JDs Couch please stop separating into separate posts what you could easily include in one mate.

Update on my reply to @MadAsAHatter

In fact I did address RGX for the posts on September 2nd with the following warning. You seem to have missed it:

Sep 3, 2025

Yeah do that again and you'll receive a short holiday bro'.

No excuses please.


There you have it. :dunno:
 
He pushed back, so I replied thusly:

No conditions bro'; it's been our policy since, like, forever. Look it up.

TBS plays within the rules, that's how he gets away with so much. You, OTOH, blatantly transgressed and disobeyed an oft'-stated rule.

Sorry man; that's the rule and we've stuck with it since it was made. No BLATANT racism, therefore no N word.

Religion and cultural discrimination are not racism, so you can forget those arguments.

I asked for no excuses 'cause I knew exactly what you would say and life's too-short. Hope you understand; this isn't my first rodeo.


A debate as to what constitutes racism ensued:

Sep 3, 2025

I don't know what more I could've done.

Transparent. Forthcoming. Patient. Accommodating.

You might want to edit your "hit piece" post in lieu of this information.
 
@MadAsAHatter as for your observation that some of the bant-word instances hadn't been erased:

I purposely left them intact for instructive purposes but absent the prevalence of contextual comprehension we see these days, I figured I might as well purge the forum of racist use of the term completely.

If you search, "[mod edit - N word used in a derogatory fashion]", you'll see what I've done going back to 2007.

The instances I left alone were ones where peeps were quoted or accused and whatnot.

Hope you're happy with this brother.

I now know why I thought this @MadAsAHatter

I gave him and TBS a 1-day ban for pedo accusations in July. JDs Couch received 3 days.

The penalties were fair IMHO. You can scrutinise the reasoning here:

Jul 18, 2025

I don't think I've ever been accused of not being transparent until today. It should be abundantly-evident now why, if it wasn't already... as it should have been.

Just sayin', as they say in the classics. :LOL:

That's cleared up. He got a ban for pedo accusations back in July, but (as far as I'm aware) never received one for his recent racist remarks toward Saddle.


That's 'cause he entered a grey area. Didn't state inferiority. Didn't use the N word.
Anyone can say, "the N word", as you and I have just done.
I'm going to have to disagree with you in one aspect here. You're leaving out context which leaves little grey area. Just because you substitute "the n word" for the actual word, the context can still make it a racial slur.
For examples:
Saying "Did you read the book that has the N word in it?" is not racism. You can interchange "the N word" or the actual term and it's not racism because it's in the context of being a reference.
Saying "You are the N word" is still blatant racism. Substituting "the N word" for the actual word doesn't remove the context of being a racial slur.
RGX has continued doing the latter.
By only looking at the word(s) used and putting aside context, it leave the door wide open for anyone to get away with blatant racism by substituting letters/acronyms for the actual word.

That's 'cause I've always been transparent, something you just said there was none of ("There's been no transparency...").
I don't think I've ever been accused of not being transparent until today. It should be abundantly-evident now why, if it wasn't already... as it should have been.
I wasn't directing any accusations of non-transparency at you. You're pretty transparent on why you make certain decisions. I meant it as we don't see that mods are discussing things behind the scenes in reference to Dan mentioning you guys have talked about this several times. I probably could have been more clear on that. We usually get an explanation on a final outcome, but if an issue spans several weeks/months or gets multiple complaints we rarely get a hey guys we acknowledge events and we're discussing what to do. Without that, surface/public level it appears things are not being addressed or worse case ignored. That's not the best look for mods to have.

A debate as to what constitutes racism ensued:
I edited my post to strikethrough "no hey not cool bro, no nothing" since you did somewhat address it. RGX made racist comments directed at Saddle across multiple threads to where you even had to search for which one it was addressed in, so hopefully you can see how that could easily be missed. My apologies for not seeing that and misspeaking.

I went back and reread that exchange you referenced to refresh. You may feel different, but I think the ball was dropped on this one. RGX got a simple don't do it again followed by his whataboutism and denial of being racist, then the exchange on what constitutes racism and finally dropped with no real resolution. It never went back around to fully addressing the infraction. Best was RGX begrudgingly saying he wouldn't use the word anymore; an in context just started substituting "the N word." Like I said you may feel differently, but IMO that's not really a proper resolution. Considering the infraction spanned multiple threads (and still continues) it really should have been followed up on. At minimum circling back to say RGX needs to issue an apology or face a ban; something along those lines.

Anyway, I've expressed my opinion and ultimately it's not in my hands to make decisions on the matter. I respect your view on things as you're able to see it all from a different perspective. I just hope you can understand my POV and not take any offence. :cheers:
