PDF Policy on racism?

[Sashan]

In the past 1 1/2 years as a member I have seen trolling in different hue and color and was not bothered about those. But in the past 2 months I have seen an increase in racist posts and have reported them several times as well. I am seeing despicable posts like Stinky "..." filty "...." terrorist "...", n***rs, Kalae etc etc(fill the ones within quotes with Chinese, Indians, Vietnamese, Muslims, Hindus whatever you want - I have seen it all)

And these trolls(who have nothing to contribute) even go against professional members of this forum who contribute with their knowledge and experience.

I suggest this - straight bans for these kinds of racist posts and third time's a charm - a permanent ban.

Suggestions welcome.

Ban OP for making a useless thread

This forum once had a policy of banning anyone who used the word "ch*nk".

But that policy mysteriously disappeared.

I asked the site Administrator about it, and here was the response:

So basically, they no longer get banned for it.

Unless the automated systems count enough infractions.

Maybe it is useless to you but someone like me who deal with folks from different countries and cultures day in and day out, it is a very sensitive issue.

- Mods you can use some javascript to check for banned words before ppl post them and show a warning message that these words are banned and NOT post those comments.
- to prevent creative use of special characters to say @ss etc, please prevent using any special characters in the posts and ban people who circumvent the rules to say those words with special chars (because they have violated the spirit of the rule of not using bad language)
- racial abuse for each country is different due to the cultural differences. you should treat "stereotype" words of each nationality on how the people of that country feel about it. I have seen a lot of BD posters using "bharoti" which has not gone down well with some indian posters. we can have a list of derogatory terms clearly available on the rules page and make the banning process for this completely transparent.

@WebMaster @Oscar

We seriously need more Moderators on this forum. The quality of posts and the posters is taking PDF down.

It's mostly Indian members that bring this forum down.

Says the only member who gets banned more than me

@Topic, I agree with the OP. Racist post along with abusive posts seem to be going up by the day. I had opened a thread in the GHQ section highlighting some example, and those got addressed immediately, however the trend continues...

Its your people, the Chankyan extremists who cause problems on this with racism, low post quality, etc...

I get banned for language, not racial slurs.

Talk about "chor ki dadhi mein tinka" syndrome. Sashan didn't name any names or any nationality for the matter, he was talking about racism across the board, yet the usual suspects are out here attacking him.
