Rubbish. This is basically a good board which could be predicated on principles of common decency. I've told you about a board on which this happens and how it's done. Zero tolerance of bigotry, no posting unless logged in, no anonymity. You're nice to Akenaton, you expect people of decent instincts to exchange ideas with him, you let him get away with murder and you pretend that you're silencing bigots at source but clearly you are not. Read my lips: if moderators name and shame bigots, the bigots go away. Why? Because you have made the ground barren for them. The people who moderate this board are one hundred percent the problem here. You attack those of us who want the bigotry gone and your main criticism is that we can get sweary. Get this into your head right? Sweariness in the face of bigotry may be a bad tactic but we are human beings, and the sweariness is ten times less bad than the bigotry you are so indulgent about. Just look at the gentle handling of Akenaton in this thread. Instead of squashing him out of sight, you indulge him. That is far more trolling than anything we can say. You are actually feeding a troll, for Christ's sake.
