status-resolved Is blatant racism acceptable?

[bmugford]

It is far past the point that NamePros draws a line in the sand. This type of racism should not be acceptable.

I reported this specific post, but think it needs to be highlighted here.

User Charizard is saying and doing extremely racist, and unprofessional things.

First he had a link to Daily Stormer in his signature.

Now he has changed his profile to the picture of a black man, that if you do a reverse image search all the results are racist -

Good Lord....A Franken-Ni**er... - Ni**ermania Forum ...

Ni**ermania MugShot Gallery

Nestless sow of six now has five - Chimpmania

Africoon crowned "ugliest *****r" needs gibs-me - Chimpmania

This is blatantly racist. Are you really going to allow this NamePros mods?

I mean you went after a guy with a picture of Jack Nicholson from The Shining as "unprofessional".

Allowing this disgusting stuff under the guise of "free speech" is simply not acceptable.

For people who think they have free speech rights on private platforms, I suggest you read the Constitution. Those rights are only related to the government, not private platforms.

There is simply no excuse for allowing this.

Brad

How about the image? What was your intention to use that image which, as proved by @bmugford is linked to racist comments? How about the link it was said ( I didnt see) was on your sig? How about you claiming it is Freedom of Speech? Well guess what? You say you are NOT racist? Good then, if someone calls you that then that is Freedom of Speech too. What do you think? You cant play the Freedom of Speech card when it suits you.

Freedom of speech and politics and racism or not don't even need to be addressed. The Elad here'ssssssssssssssssssssJohnny avatar has set a precedent for unprofessional avatars. That was never going to be allowed even if we did not have the @Braden Pollock thread.

Is @Silentptnr avatar also unprofessional?

Is @Silentptnr avatar also unprofessional?

Some forums would not allow an avatar of a famous person that they have no rights to the pic. It's not a mugshot.

Maybe @Mod Team Bravo @Mod Team Echo @Mod Team Alfa can weigh in if his avatar is professional?

I do not have any problem with @Silentptnr avatar as long as you guys respect my avatar.

I hate the double standards.
