Can you please make threads about Races a bannable offense? Ive seen at least 15+ of them today, and they were all Trolling, flame baiting, or being really offensive. Until Basil learns to be more mature, I dont thing we should be allowed to discuss race.

They're already suspendable. Only reason they aren't being noticed is because they aren't being reported enough.

Just report any thing like that, a mod will take care of it.

Personally, I think that's ridiculous. You are encouraging the basil community to stop open discussion on races. Sure, it CAN be offensive, but it's NOT always taken seriously. You basically want to put a restriction on free speech.

Some people just take things to far. Why have mass punishment if it's only one group?

If you want someone banned, report them, aya. Mods can't do anything if they don't know there's a problem.

Please, not only is this the internet, but the site is hosted from Canada for God's sakes. @TS: Threads askin if people of a certain background play MapleStory, which is what you're referrin to, are perfectly acceptable. The only reason the threads with exactly that topic got deleted earlier today is cuz they were outta control -- there were about a dozen, includin parodies. We're not gonna ban a subject unless we have very good reason to, i.e. the Basil Cycle.
