RAFchat Issues

[goom]

you think you could add a 'chat link' button to the menu bar?
that'd be really helpful.

There's one at the bottom of the forum, but I'll do so.

thank you very much (didn't actually even see the bottom one lol). :happy34:

What happens? Wrong input?

Nope, just resets the page like I hit refresh.

We should un-censor the word "Cracker"

And censor the word "nigga," cause i find it offensive.

[goom]

cracker isn't used all that much in sentences. i don't really care one way or another.

[Richard]

As I said previously, I don't find nigga offensive; as for cracker, it has negative connotations which I can identify with, unlike nigga.

But a cracker is a Florida native. As in me. Besides cracker is a fairly common word.

Gahhhharrrrggghhhh!

I still don't understand the need for cracker to be banned and not nigga.

I already asked for its ban and gahhhhargggh its not. Right now, how I wish I was black. Then it'd be banned, huh!

[Liz]

I don't think any words should be banned.  I mean, it becomes a question of where to draw the line, doesn't it?

But if you are going to censor words, I think "nigga" is just as offensive as "cracker"...that is to say, not very offensive to me personally, but from an outsider's POV I think they're equally bad.

[morfowt]

not that my opinion matters too much, but I don't really care. I don't really find either offensive and don't see how either would be to anyone else (blame my ignorance).

Personally, I think that the censors should remain on for the main curse words.  I say this because Animorphs is targeted for children so even though many of us are older it is inevitable that there will be children on this forum.  Some members swear excessively.  I think that if I went back to when I first joined the forum and if the chat was open and I entered I would be put off by the number of curse words that are being said to one another.  When they were censored I think that people found different words to insult each other to get around the censors.

[Nateosaurus]

The main used ones should be turned off, the F word, S word, B word, etc.

Yea. I didn't mention it, but I really like your point, Rachel.

Some words are just not necessary to ban, though. Like cracker. Calling someone that isn't much of a difference to idiot, or moron, or "you're stupid". But you wouldn't ban any of those words.
