The Blazing Saddle
Banned
Wrong... unless I'm not remembering correctly. I thought he received a time-out for the posts made on Sep 2nd?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.
That's 'cause he entered a grey area. Didn't state inferiority. Didn't use the N word.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.
Addressed above.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.
That's 'cause I've always been transparent, something you just said there was none of ("There's been no transparency...").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.
Addressed several times lately including a few posts ago.More fucking spam
I now know why I thought this @MadAsAHatterWrong... 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.
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.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:
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.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.
That's 'cause I've always been transparent, something you just said there was none of ("There's been no transparency...").
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.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.
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.
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.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:
They'd only be of use if you could read and had some level of comprehension which you're sorely lacking to any degree.
Pretty sure I read better than an incel fascist.They'd only be of use if you could read and had some level of comprehension which you're sorely lacking to any degree.
That still doesn't mean you can.Pretty sure I read better than an incel fascist.
I gotta ask, are you really Clarke Gayfuck?Pretty sure I read better than an incel fascist.
