Something wrong?

[MikeyG]

I'm not controlling people's opinions on the word. I'm merely controlling what people can and can not say.

From a fiestfan mod..... Imo thats pathetic.

I think that comment goes against almost
everything forums are for, im pretty sure u cannot control
what i say and im sure that isnt you job or perk of being an admin.
I thought the job was to moniter what i say. And u montired
my post that said the n-word . I explained it to u as well.
but u saying that is just a striaght power trip.

I am asking you to please edit the above post as you have already been warned about the use of the word, please.

I think what what meant by that comment was that we control what is posted on here, by modding it. Some people may take offense to the word, since the majority of the time it is used in a derogatory manner. I realize you were quoting something someone said, but that does not make it right to use it yourself.

but it was a song quote

but it was a song quote

You can quote the song and edit the word with no problem. People still get the point and no one can come in here and say that we allow racial slurs to be used. Given the heat of the use of that word in recent years, it is better for anyone, and anything that is open to the public to not allow that word to be used. Some people, not all, but some people MAY take it the wrong way. If we allow it this time, then what about the next time? and the next?
We have to decide what is best for the Forum, those decisions might not always be agreed upon by our members, but we make decision based on what is the best all-around for the forum, not what is best depending on how something is used or who used it.

yea but spirit u lissen to the song and like u wouldnt mind it
if it was a song u liked he likes the song and yea he forgot to
take it out i dont think u should get like yelled at about it cuz
it was a mistake im sure lots of ppl will do it in there life time

I would also like to point out, that he was warned, not infracted. Warnings simply let the user know what is acceptable. Infractions acyually have points attached to them. 3 points and it is an automatic ban. Warnings have no points attached.

im not just sticking up for him cuz i go to school with him
just to let u no i would for anyone cuz its a song not like
hes saying to somone

I'm going to leave my in-put...


The words in that song aren't exactly the kindest words to use. People can and do find them offensive and degrading. Fiestafan doesn't condone racial slurs and excessive swearing. That song had both of those.

Like Spirit said, it was only a warning. But keep it up, and you will receive infractions. We like to be everyones friend, and have it so everyone is treated equally, and yes, this is only a fansite, but we still have to run this place which means, yeah, we have rules.

As for the PM you received, maybe the wording was wrong. We're not trying to control you guys, but we're trying to keep that kind of stuff off of the forums if possible.
