However, everyone has different ideas of trash, so here's a potential solution: Click "Your Settings" at the top, then under "Miscellaneous" on the left you'll find "Buddy / Ignore Lists" where you can (I assume!) add the names of people whose posts you're sick and tired of seeing. I would encourage people to use this feature, if it works as advertised.

Would make sense if we didn't deal with someone really bad, like a literal racist. Those people need to be dealt with harshly so they won't attract more of their kind.

With Tesla, we have a member who not only openly drops racial slurs, but also goes out of their way to insult transgendered members of this community. To say, "Hey, there's nothing I can do, just 'ignore' them," is embarrassing, and another reason to consider abandoning this tumbleweed of a forum. Not even a warning or a slap on the wrist? Shame on you for condoning racism in 2019. I'd rather not be associated with this place whatsoever if this is how issues such as this will be resolved here. There's many other places where I'm able to whine about capitalism, my dating life, and familial situations.

Yeah, I've recently left another forum because it was full of racism, misgoyny, rape apology and so on, after the admin refused to deal with the problematic members. I don't want my IP address attached to anything of that sort.

Respect.

Chris Lawrence, what’s your call, sir?

Tell me to “ignore” and I might abandon this shithole too.

Lee and Thurston would ban the piss out of his transphobic, racist, spammy ass if they ever dropped in again, but why would they if this is what the forum has come to?

Let us know.

You're right, that was weak. I did much better here and in that case, I got off easy cuz the guy just ran away.

tesla69 has been banned for 3 months, with the instruction to cut the hate speech shit out if he chooses to return.

Sorry folks - we were all tagged as moderators purely to deal with the spam you hopefully never see, not to interfere with actual human discussion, vile as it may be (or at least, that's how I see it). But we made the no hate speech rule clear the last time this was an issue, so the action here should have been quicker.

Thank you.

I understand your Wild West comment to a degree, but some things are just universally wrong.

I actually really love the fact that even if some people are assholes 100% of the time on SYG, encountering racism/transphobia/sexism is something that almost never happens.

I appreciate your listening to us an taking action.
