no it hasn't.. i know what you are getting at though. Lots of us here taking lighthearted jabs at each other and and that has always been fine around here over the years as long as it is handled in humour and not hate (for BOTH sides). Of course, a select few of us have taken that as an OK to say whatever they want about any race and all in the lines of 'free speech' which is idiotic... Never anywhere have you been aloud to say or type ANYTHING you want without consequences. It got bad here for a while not long ago so then they cracked down a bit having reporting post options and a few more mods, then assholes ruined that option by reporting stuff 3 times a day (you know who you are). This just created a boiling pot all around because people who would normally compose themselves felt they had a green light to say racist shit because 1 or 2 people posted something offensive and mods would have to ignore a lot of bullshit because they were getting far too many complaints from the same people. You ban some words and morons invent their own version of it and get away with it.
There should just be ONE crackdown. Fair warning for all those who make racist/hateful comments AND race baiting threads, 1 month banning for first offense, gone forever after that. Be racist somewhere else. At the end of the day nobody worth anything needs it around here. Sure there is a bit of grey here, if someone makes a joke in bad taste and someone doesn't like it, but it's normally pretty obvious and so are the people who repeatedly do it.
