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.

https://www.namepros.com/threads/braden-pollock-steps-down-from-epik-bod.1194548/

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.

You have failed to adequately explain your use of that photo.

1.) Freedom of speech does not exist on private platforms.
2.) Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.

Have a good day.

and with the Elad avatar drama Namepros has ruled on unprofessional avatars.

It was right there, in the thread, in the posts I reported. If you need to "investigate", why were the reports closed off as "heated debate, nothing to see here, no problem..."

You're mixing reports. We are talking about your signature report.

You take away their privilege to like comments, but they can still post?

How many inaccurate assumptions can you make in one hour? Each time you think of something, you should change it to a question. It'll work out much better for you.

They currently cannot post anything unless we approve it. That's what happens when an account is restricted, among many other limitations.

I promise you they're laughing at you so hard for how much leeway you're giving them.

You'd be wrong, again.

You're trying to re-write history here to save face or something, and it's so obvious, and nobody is buying it.

No, you've just misinterpreted what we've written and instead of asking for clarity, you've made more assumptions.

You don't need our help to continue making derogatory assumptions, so you can do that by yourself.

nobody is buying it.

Do we sound like salespeople to you? We aren't trying to sell anything.

But since you're clearly not interested in having a civilized discussion, you can continue thinking anything you'd like. We have better things to do.

Private platforms meaning platforms partially financed (via ad revenue) by Epik.com, right?
Moderators are surpressing me because you guys make a pressure and yet fail to provide any relevant proof of me being a racist.

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.

No a private platform means a private platform, I own and run two blogs, if someone tries to leave a blatantly racist comment, it won't be approved. My advertisers play no part in that. They can say "Hey Raymond we are down with racism and will not renew our ad next quarter because of the racist comments not being allowed on your blog." To that note I would say thank you I don't want your business. Cheers.

Namepros is a private platform no one is funding it? Namepros would be here with no advertisers, @RJ did that for many a year. Namepros is not taking marching orders from advertisers.

Last but not least which advertiser is standing for racism?

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?

In most cases, those will fall under stage 3 of the rollout:

We hope that helps.

Oh no problem I figured I would ask for the guy who restricted and has a problem with Silentprtnr avatar.

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

I hate the double standards.
