Approaches to Moderating Racist Content

[Alexanderr]

I've already mentioned it in the mod chat and discussed it plenty, so I'll be requesting user input this time.

Our primary intent is to reduce the overall presence of racist content on the forum & prevent it from dominating our discussions while maintaining free speech, but I had some qualms with the current policy.

With this goal in mind, let's consider two different approaches.

1. The first option is to do away with the current race-baiting rule, due to concerns about its ambiguity and inconsistent application. (E.g. deciding whether a post is just a racist joke or crosses into race-baiting territory).
Instead, deleting or warning those who spam racist content, while clearly defining what constitutes spamming versus regular posting.
It would be easier to identify whether a post is racist than to discern where a racist joke crosses into race-baiting territory, increasing consistency.

2. The second option is to maintain the race-baiting rule following its recent clarification. This would mean continuing with the current guidelines, with the added clarity provided.

While I can't promise the outcome, it's useful to understand user perspective on the matter.

Yes, we're not so much moderating what type of racism here, as opposed to those who spam it.

I am currently working on a new forum that won't submit to governmental figures and will uphold the privacy and anonymity of its users. It's about time this federal junkyard is abandoned. Audio related

[Deleted member 21345]

Yeah it's mainly low effort spam that fucks everything up. Let my nigga @moggathon make an anti nigger thread or 2

 

[Deleted member 46979]

it just has to be congruent with reality. race bait about nig iq, crime, etc is fine. but constant bbc posting nigs just copy and paste memes made by white people and replace the white subject with blacks is junk content.

 

[Thesoloist22]

The constant bbc posting with like 10 users actually being black is hilarious

Racist news content should be allowed but I think the porn posting should be limited. It’s just too much controversy,makes no sense and backed by zero facts. My post for example was just pure racism and spreading awareness of violence on an innocent animal. I wasn’t trying to bait a reaction off of the boons. The mods hate me and are trying to shut down my operation.
