The mods are actually pretty hot on things on here to be fair.

Can't expect them to react immediately to every little comment that you take offence to, they do have lives outside of the forum.

Haven't seen any racist comments on here to be honest, seen quite a few homophobic ones though.

I understand entirely , part of the rules say no offensive comments, if someone reports a post and finds it offensive then something should be done,another recent trend is lisa haters calling her scum and worse because she is on benefits, there surely must be an inference to all people on benefits being the same how is that not offensive?
Defo put in an official complaint

Oh yes, we should all write letters to TiBBCom seeing as the moderators have lives and aren't on the forum 24/7 like they should be.

the point is if a post is reported then surely the moderators should endeavour to find out why it has been seen to be offensive then make a decision.

They do, I haven't seen an instance where something has been clearly reported and not dealt with. If the OP has examples, then he/she can feel free to link me.

The mods turn a blind eye to them. As far as they're concerned, if someone isn't using the word *******got, then it's not homophobia.

Is the OP being over sensitive?

It is easy to cite racism or homophobia if something is written that you do not necessarily agree with.

Marcus gave short shrift to BB when he was accused of making racist comments to Sree. The same should be the case here, political correctness is often a ploy to silence the opposite view.

Simply because you dont see the moderators post on line in a thread or even remove a thread that you feel may be racist or homophobic doesnt mean they havent looked at it, reviewed it, investigated it and discussed it amongst themselves before carrying out any action.

The staff here are in my opinion generally excellent and police the forums with excellent judgemant and the right balance between allowing freedom of speech and preventing people offended.

People could find offense in lots of posts, generally speaking when a post is looked at in a cold technical way, it isnt half as offensive as it first seems. Not all people can explain their points in a succinct and easy to understand manner that wont have some people seeing offense. Tolerance and fine judgement is always required.

A lot of people simply post how they would talk amongst their peer groups, and what is acceptable in one multicultural and diverse peer group in one area of the uk may not be deemed acceptable in another area.

Horses for courses.

Crap. Harry Rag called one poster DoctoDoctor1k a Homo and other Homophobic crap, yet surprise surprise guess who was banned. Am guessing some of the moderators have friends on here and are allowed to do what they like and abuse whoever they want to.
