Racism and Violence Completely Ignored by Moderator on General Discussion Board

[CoinMode]

Here is the text between me and some other user on a post in the General Discussion board.

I definitely wish the best if luck to the conference being held in israel - and i know you have a very direct method of dealing with uppity and overly comfortable mouth leftists like above who think they know anything. Better yet, send them to the palestinians!

They definitely know how to use such people.

Oh, and you are prejudiced towards Palestinians? Get out of here, you hateful racist, and don't ever look back. Bitcoin doesn't need hateful bigots like you.

LOL

Nothing brightens up my day than some fool ass kids throwing words around like they mean something. What do you know about racism? Any straight thinking man can see how these middle eastern and south east asian shit skins are trying to manipulate world opinion and moral standards to their own racial and ethnic advantage, transparent as hell.

Go fantasize some more.

I complained about the blatant racism and violent aggression of this user in a report to the moderator. This should have been an open and shut case of permanently banning somebody who is clearly a hateful and racist bigot. Instead, I log on tonight and find that the moderator who looked at my report denied it. Some moderator on General Discussion is obviously supporting violence and racism. This is unbecoming of both bitcoin and civilization overall. The user and moderator in question need to be expelled immediately if you wish to uphold the integrity of this website.

And just to be perfectly clear, I filed two reports on this. This first time was in the first quote of Honeypot. Apparently suggesting that Palestinians are a violent breed was not enough for the moderator to issue any kind of action in response. Today I find that this same user, Honeypot, is now using racial slurs as well.

The response, or lack thereof, from the moderators has been absolutely sickening thus far.

[BadBear]

Not against the rules.

[CoinMode]

Not against the rules.

Are you fucking serious? Using racial slurs and making violent threats is okay on bitcointalk.org?

[BadBear]

Threats of violence aren't okay, I don't see any though. Being a racist is okay, though posts with strong political commentary of that sort tend to be off topic more often than not, and if it isn't off topic then the thread itself may need to be re-evaluated.

Grow a thicker skin, this is the internet. I am offended that you're offended, where does this madness stop? Cries of bigotry and racism are far too common and used improperly daily. This has watered down the true meaning of these words. I would rather know what a person really thinks than have them hide it behind a smile, that way you can take action such as ignore them or go to another forum. One should be able to say pretty much what they want but that doesn't mean there aren't consequences. They could be ignored and no one will trade with them.
Crying for the censor police at every harsh word is ridiculous and petty.

That's pretty tame for Honeypot to be honest. I'd just ignore him. As much as I abhor racism (as well as racists) I think they should be allowed to express their views as long as it's in the relevant topics and not off-topic, but his comments usually tend to be or at least direct threads that way. He seems to like baiting people by posting racist crap then comes out with a barrage or childish insults after. He was banned a while back I believe (not sure for what exactly but I can only assume it was for doing this repeatedly).

Threats of violence aren't okay, I don't see any though. Being a racist is okay, though posts with strong political commentary of that sort tend to be off topic more often than not, and if it isn't off topic then the thread itself may need to be re-evaluated.

He said that he "knows a very direct way of dealing with [me]. Better yet, send [me] to the Palestinians." How you can percieve that as anything other than a non-idle violent threat is beyond reasoning.

So you think that calling somebody from the Middle East a "shit skin" isn't racism, and even if it is, it should be fully allowed? I am not misusing the word at all, and you are encouraging very uncivilized behavior on this forum. I pray to god that at least one sane moderator sees this bullshit and does something to help keep things peaceful on here. This is exactly the kind of insanity that we don't ever want to associate with cryptocurrency. That is, if you are actually here to support crypto.

This is downright shameful behavior and the responses I am getting are shameful all around.

I've been called far worse. Grow up.

Let me add to this:
"......you are encouraging very uncivilized behavior...."    Offensive, you are calling me uncivilized.

"I pray to god..."  Offensive. You didn't capitalize the G and you mentioned god! What does god have to do with BTC?

"......bullshit..."  Cursing, again offensive!

"....at least one sane moderator...." Offensive. It implies all moderators are insane.

Do you see how this works? It never ends. You need to realize your opinion isn't the only one but you seem to think it trumps all others. You are free to join the myriad of other forums that are PC correct and happily censor all posts.

I do support crypto, I also support people's rights to express themselves. No, I don't particularly like what he says or agree with it. Doesn't mean he can't say it. Being intolerant of intolerant people just justifies their beliefs and drags you down to their level.

[Sydboy]

I agree.
 the racism should be stopped. some of the comments said by hero members constantly is  pathetic.
people should only say things on the internet they would  only say in real life.
i no 100% the racist scum here would not say a word in real life off the internet.

"Hmm, I think I want to learn more about bitcoin. Maybe I'll go and check out some of the forums and hear what people are saying about it."

"Go screw yourself you kike nigger. I hope you get dealt with one way or another."

Yeah, that is going to leave a REALLY good impression with people who visit this website. Can a sane moderator please step in help to regain some civil discourse on this site? You "hero" members are making bitcoin look horrible right now.


To the other moron, I never said to ban people because somebody was being offended. Nice way to divert the argument. You might as well try to argue that people using racial slurs on here doesn't make bitcoin or cryptos look bad at all. Oh wait, you just did.


I can't wait until somebody important sees this and all three of you are permanently banned.

[EFS]

You can always use Ignore button for racist people.

Good luck with that. You obviously know what is best for everyone. What's next? Are you going to tell me how much power I need for mining or I can't turn my A/C below 80?
While I await the impending banning, I will exercise my ignore button.

[acs267]

Even if it's barbaric, it's not illegal and you can't be banned for it. Just click the 'ignore' button, or, go to Zoklet and see how bad it is over there.

You have admitted that you don't care if a bitcoin forum is free from racial slurs like "shit skin", "nigger", or "kike". Obviously, you should be banned and have no idea how to keep a forum civilized and inviting. I honestly never thought this place would allow this disgusting behavior. Unfortunately, it appears it has been infiltrated by some nefarious group.

I wonder who could be behind this?

People is saying mean things and moderators won't do anything about it! That must mean that the forum has been infiltrated by them and all of this is orchestrated by a cabal of (jews|palestinians|arabs).

[RodeoX]

You can use the "ignore" feature.
In any case it should not be a mods job to determine what is offensive. If someone is a child-like idiotic raciest then that's their problem, not yours and mine. Let the fools talk and dig themselves into a hole.  Those people don't even count anyway.
