Tell Us Who Got Banned Thread Closed?

Sorry but I find him being banned for that absolutely pathetic.

Well, again, he didn't get banned for only that; that was just the final straw. And at least 3 moderators disagreed with you and believed that that particular post violated site rules.
 
Others have been banned for poop emojis. We like you keep you guessing.

... and when Rasheed Wallace has a history, his fines come harder.
 
I issued the ban and had zero problem doing so. He killed entire threads and actively hurt the site IMO. His frequent attacks, trolling and racist comments earned him this ban and then some.

At the end of the day, you guys can and will run and mod this site as you see fit. I can't say I've read Dutch's racists posts or even posts where he attacks people and support him being banned for said posts. The large % of the time I skip his posts so I could very well miss many things that he posts that breaks rules or is offensive or warrants an infraction. The problem is, the posts I have seen of his that people label racist or problematic are usually translated and interpretated into something more than what he actually posted and, to me, that's not fair. Plus, English isn't the guy's first language. There is a clear language barrier on what he writes. Again, to me, the post that broke the camel's back was weak and a witch hunt (not trying to back seat mod, do how you see fit, just my two-cents.)

Dutch can be certainly obnoxious, opinionated, and posts stuff to get reactions. However, I've recently read things he's posted on here that show his progression and and absolutely refute some of the claims of he's racists, homophobic, etc - dude shared some pretty cool stories I give him props for. I don't know anything about his culture and how he was brought up, but just because we have the US mentality of it's 2018 and if you don't think this way now or say that then you are racist, homophobic, a bigot, doesn't mean that it's fair or productive. I mean, I get why we do it - society has a history of being backwards, but sometimes understanding other's points of views and working on common ground is the most effective way to not only change them, but many others too.

When I first joined jazzfanz back in 2008 I was active LDS. Looking back, I would have said I wasn't homophobic or a bigot at all because I believed in the principles in which I was taught on a religious basis. I would have thought, "Well, I can talk to homosexuals and have a few mutual friends so I'm definitely not homophobic." I didn't support gay marriage and other social issues that would be looked down upon highly in 2018. Old school mentality. This isn't to say those with religious beliefs are homophobes and bigots. This is to say, that over the years, the more I've educated myself about certain social issues, the more I realize I've come a long ways to be a better person, for me, in 2018 and over the years.

I can be a handful on here and I get it. I know some of my povs rub people wrong, but I give jazzfanz credit in helping my critical thinking skills, seeing the other side if the argument the best I can, and changing to be a person, in my opinion, that's way better than now than I was 10 years ago when I started posting on here.

Sorry for the rant. Again, like I said I don't read much of Dutch's posts. The ones I have though, I can relate to a certain degree and see his progression. It be cool if Dutch changed based off of other's civil thoughts and posts on Jazzfanz rather than being closely watched over to boot because his political opinions rub you wrong.

Hilarious. This site is really AntifaFanzz.

Stoked's avatar even has a mask on. Fits perfectly.

Feel free to go find a site that is more your style. Whether you like the rules or not, and I find some of the rules silly, you agreed to them.
 
I’m open to a discussion and poll. Not promising it will change things but if a majority feel that links to NSFW (specifically videos that swear) are fine, then I’ll consider it. I just don’t want people to load up AntifaFanzz at work and get in trouble with IT organizations or the like. But a link to a video offsite with a warning clearly outlined, I can understand.
