Sent very similar sentiments up via petition. Made it to Senior Guide for rule inquiry review given your very same concerns. Asked for inquiry to be sent to current admin and also asked who current admin was. Was told inquiry would not be sent and was not told who current admin is.

Takeaway: Forums are currently enforced at mods discretion given time constraints rather than stated rules.

What was it you tried to report?

Namely it appears the following rules and text taken directly from Forum Rules are not being enforced on the p1999 forums currently:

1. These rules, a small portion extracted from our Play Nice Policy, are in place to attract more members to the community, and assist existing members of the community.
2. Content is expected to remain work friendly.
3. ....hate speech, disguised or not, will not be tolerated. This includes slurs ....
4. Keep thread subjects clean.
5. Any rant or flame against a player or guild should be contained inside of the Rants and Flames forum
>>

Was told enforcing the rules this strictly would lead to 50% of forum members banned. I won't say which Guide because I like them. But that's why I asked it to be sent to Senior Guide and then was told rule review wouldn't be sent to Admin or given response when I asked who current Admin is.

Mods quote:

If we as a team monitored and disciplined within the standards you are presenting, half the board would be banned.

honestly just close down the forums, or limit them to just game discussion. there is no reason to have political discussion here or any of the other off topic lunacy that gets posted here. i can't think of a worse first impression a person could get about p99 than if they googled around and ended up here before actually playing.

These forums are probably a better representation of the game because end-game is far more toxic and hateful than the forums could produce. If nothing it gives them a little taste of what to expect when they hit that glorious six zero.

I’ll say the same thing about no mods here as I suggest to work during the periods when a supervisor leaves and work is trying to find a new supervisor:

“I thrive under no supervision”

FYI: Back when that one chick posted gay porn pic spam she was banned and the posts deleted within minutes

And if I recall the rare occasions when there were RL threats those people were also banned very quickly, but since I never received threats myself I can’t give an exact time frame

But porn pics? Very quick response

What does this tell us? There are mods, that are active, that are enforcing the rules as stated in the sticky at the top which include things like: no graphic violence vids/pics, no porn (I think they called it NSFW), and no RL threats

Until there’s a new rule of: no politics and no hurt feelings I don’t think they will be enforcing that

Can a chinese athlete attain the same level of performance as an african american?
Can a white european attain the same level of academic success as say a chinese student?
Can that same black family produce a nobel laureate?

So yes, while there are notable external differences in the globes races it is disingenuous to suggest one or another is less or more because of that race furthermore, thinly veiling the suggestion by profiling the black athlete, chinese academic etc is the racist bit.
That call right there is called racism. Saying its not racist cuz there are differences in races doesnt discount it being racist.

Show me the Asian Lebron James. Show me the Asian sprinters competing.

Academic success is not at all what I'm referring to. If you've ever worked with a Chinese Engineer vs an American Engineer then you know what I'm talking about. The Chinese Engineer will DOMINATE the American when it comes to grinding out spelled out tasks. Ask that same Chinese Engineer to provide a creative solution to an issue and the American will be the tool you need. There is nothing wrong with this, there is no pro or con. Neither is better or worse. I'm not saying that so stop saying I am.

Of course, the interesting thing about the African genetics is that their bell curve of IQ is shifted left. But they produce a lot of VERY high IQ individuals per capita.

Again, I'm not assigning lesser to any of these distinctions. The ones commenting and calling me racist are doing so for talking about our differences and our strengths. They want to push an NPC world of greys where we all are the same. A reality that anyone not completely brainwashed knows isn't reality.

The grey area is hate speech and everyone knows it heh

Grey as in, hate speech is sometimes incorrectly meaning “speech I hate hearing”….but never from you fine lads [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm still waiting for someone to actually figure out my politics given I've been attacked by the full spectrum of political folks from every angle. I thought Sadre might get it and he's closest so far, Lune 2nd closest. No cigar yet though. We'll see. Also no prizes.

Joking of course. Not everyone fits into neat boxes.

As far as the rules saying "hate speech, disguised or not" that implies a strict interpretation. The mods enforcement is much looser. Take from that what you will. But essentially the enforcers define what it is without it actually being written anywhere. This makes it different then as stated in the rules.
