Defamatory threads

14-10-2003, 08:21
I am just a little curious as to why so many threads containing racial slurs, innuendo and defamatory comments are allowed to go on on these boards, when they are clearly against the terms of use. Especially ones like the one here

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=81034

that has absolutely nothing to do with politics or the game itself.

The topic probably won't be locked in and of itself. If it degenerates into a flamewar (as it almost cetainly will ... but the Holocaust topic has managed to stay unlocked for 17 pages), then it will for sure, though. Also, KHELP was recently deleted (although I'm not sure if it was for actions like this, or something else he did), so he is probably on thinner ice then the rest of us.

Not to complain, but sometimes you mods confuse me greatly. I don't get where it is you draw the line! O well.

Just lately (like over the past 2 days) there has been a sudden flood of these topics. I do have a question for a mod, I want to point out a player's national animal as objectionable, and I know about the Getting Help page, but I don't know if I should put that under spamming/cheating/inapporpriate posts or other. I want this to go to the right place.

Responce to a Mod or Inappropriate Post would probably suffice.

I thought the Holocaust thread was locked?

There is no Moderator post saying it was getting locked, for such a large thread, there would have been. So I think you must be mistaken, there was no lock in place.
