It sucks, and if there are qualms, they can be done sufficiently through our private messaging system.

I understand the reason why. You say they couldn't keep it in the pm's and it spilled out in the forums? Did they get warned for the violation? Was it not against the rules at that time you created unmod? I have no problem not looking at a particular thread because I might disagree with it. Just dont understand why taking the racism and borderline child porn would effect expressing your disagreement with someone.
There is no real racism, it is all just taking the piss, I see it all as comedy, except for reply in unmod, which; by design is specifically encouraging people to be hateful to one another, and that was created by the author of this thread.
I say delete 'reply in unmod', as that purposely links people into an unmoderated thread, which was solely created to propagate hatred between members.

I don't think that would stop them from tagging users in unmod
 
In the past, almost every single one of us were guilty of flaming / trolling in threads, myself included. Instead of warning or banning almost everyone, Bottiger decided to make an unmoderated section.

Something big (drama wise) happened that forced Bottiger to make unmod, but I forgot what it was.

Perhaps a better solution would be to redefine unmod? (No racism, no illegal stuff, ect)

I've literally suggested this like 4 times in this thread
 
So we cannot make a section for "Flame insert name here" section and have it without the need for racism? I guess I am biased on this because racism is one of the things I see no need for at any time. I also understand that I am in a minority on this view. I seen the thread as a chance to voice my opinion on it so I did in favor of getting rid of it.

Actually I'd be okay with Zebra and Rhi's idea of removing the racism from unmod. That way the community (and admins in particular) doesn't look completely hypocritical in terms of following touchy rules like that one.

The way to not look hypocritical is to not be hypocritical.
 
The problem with the "no racism" rule being applied to unmod is that the most common thing someone can say is the N word. That's all anyone says in there regarding racism.

If you're going to have a zero tolerance policy on the servers, the same doesn't have to apply to the forum.
 
I am pretty neutral on the issue, which is why I never gave my 2 cents before.

I do feel like Maddo has a point in that users have to swim through a sea of fetish porn, gore and shock stuff before they they even see unmoderated. No offense to those who are into that, it personally doesn't bother me, and whatever floats your boat within the legal realm is cool with me. It won't bother me if N bombs are banned or not because I choose not to use the word and thus it has no bearing on my personal professionalism as an admin. If it stays, meh if it goes then it wouldn't be the end of the world and people could still call each other out and poke at each other.


Suggestion: Modify thread title to something like "Regulate/change or rename unmod" since the author(s) have conceded that certain changes would be sufficient.
 
Just make it to were you can't tag people anymore so all visits yo unmod are optional And people don't break down in tears knowing someone called them names on the internet
 
+1 Please tell me this actually happening thank you jesus christ holy dick wow fucking wow fantastic
 
So basically, this is a "make unmod cleaner or we shut it down"?
Unmod was made to be chaos. It was made to send all the shit threads so they could continue without hurting the public image of Skial and so people would be less offended at all the shitposting.

Remember when we had to give the MLP guys their own section so that they would stop threadcrapping? It's the exact same thing. Delete unmod and all the shitposts come back flowing into General, allowing the public to realize how much of dickwads most of us are and hurting our public image.

To be honest, I see no point at all in deleting Unmod, just that there are a few people who are supposedly offended with the "n-word" and the constant shitposting WHICH IT WAS CREATED FOR.

so you are admitting that it is a place made for people to circumvent forum rules on the forums.
