alex45920 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 The mods are unnecessary. The OP was politely told where to get off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I reported both of his offensive posts. Nothing appears to jave been done. Clearly offensive ethnic terms are allowable here. Oh, I am sure I will get a slap or a ban for commenting on this. But we cannot know if they Private Messaged the person. It is a mod's responsibility to inform without causing public concern. On the other hand, it's a judgment call made at the discretion of a moderator, and maybe some of the opinions on this topic are not shared by them.

Xena Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Obviously, the mods and owner of this board do not share the opinions of the members offended by the use of a racial/ethnic slur in a topic title and posts. It is disappointing but not surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hud Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I am just wondering if the "Mods" have any obligation to "report" to the masses what action they take and when they "hang someone up by their toes", or not? Maybe we are not sure who owns this Board. Is this Board a "Public Owned" Board, or a "Privately Owned" Board? Who sets the "rules" and who has ABSOLUTE say about what goes on with this Board? And what recourse do people have that do like how this Board is managed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappysmarket Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Most of us know who owns the board and it is NOT publicly owned. Anyone is free to start their own board with their own rules. See TOB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Hud, this is a privately owned board and no one has to explain or justify their rules or inform users what, if any, actions they take. I do not care what is or is not done to/with/about the poster. All I care about is that the offensive term is still here on the board which says all I need to know.

ComputerGuy Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Most of us know who owns the board and it is NOT publicly owned. Anyone is free to start their own board with their own rules. See TOB. And running your own board is a huge pain-in-the-a**. Even if you can control some of the crazeir monkeys that are attracted, you have to deal with constant barrages of fake accounts loaded with spam. One of my more recent attempts at managing a board was for a real-estate ombudsman out of Manzanillo. It became a full-time job just decrapifying it every day. Finally shut it down. Everyone lost on that deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCC Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Given the fact that a large number of Mexicans also buy or rent real estate locally I am surprised the owner of the board would allow a slur against Mexicans on his web board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slainte39 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Given the fact that a large number of Mexicans also buy or rent real estate locally I am surprised the owner of the board would allow a slur against Mexicans on his web board. The owner/administrator of the board is Mexican. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Anyone is free to express how they feel about what is being posted on the board they freely choose to read and comment upon. They are also free to ask questions about standards and rules --and anything else they are wondering about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Apparently, the moderators have not found the comments here derogatory. I guess you are more sensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelican9 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I dont have a lot of time to waste with this, but...only someone very confused could think that a racial slur toward mexicans was ever made. If you want to think a racial slur was intended....notice that the word Gringo was used...Mexicans have never been Gringos. Some people even regard the word Gringo as insulting, I do not. My Mexican freinds, and i have many, use the word quite often, with no intention to offend. This will be my last post on this matter and i hope that you ultra sensitive people will go and get a life.

cbviajero Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I do not see that word in my post, wish you would not use it! I apologize, i did use the word but it was a slip of the tongue. I dont have a lot of time to waste with this, but...only someone very confused could think that a racial slur toward mexicans was ever made. SchraderoneWho's confused,Schraderone??
