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?
