Default Blatantly racist posts

There was some concern awhile ago from the higher ups at 2+2 that some of the posts in the message boards (particularly OOT) would scare away customers and/or didn't reflect well on 2+2 as a whole.

I just finished reading the "What kind of black is David Williams" thread (it was moved to Politics). It seems like every day there's some wannabe Klansman on here making racist posts about blacks, jews, asians, etc... Some of the posts are harmless and are not meant to be taken seriously, but there are a good number of posts that I see every day that are made just for the sake of being hateful and bigoted.

I don't think that racism should be tolerated on these boards. It gives a bad image to the 2+2 community as a whole. If people want to post their racist crap on the internet, 2+2 is under no obligation to allow them to do it here.

So here's my poll:

Ignore the trolls and they will go away. Post polls about them and they'll multiply.

If it were only so simple. Besides, there are (non-troll) posters on here with thousands of posts who will take any opportunity they can to spout off their hate, while still making "normal" posts for the most part.

I don't know. Haven't seen him post in a long time.

Just thinking about his swastika thread, which was the most mild case of his racism.

Outstanding observation. They feed on attention. They have to have attention to exist. Their pitiful lives have an insatiable appetite for attention.

How many "marches," in this country and others, would happen if the cameras weren't there?

Even if we got rid of all of the trolls, there would still be liberals.
