Don't be disingenous. This exceeded what any reasonable person would consider acceptable. The hamsters' and Chris' reactions should have made that clear.

Use of the N word, is not "politically incorrect". That's the kind of "mild mannered wordplay" that old school bigots use to try to excuse what is just straight up racism ("Oh it's those people with their politically incorrect detectors on again").
From the title of the message it sounded like an irredeemable racist & sexist rant. If it wasn't, then it shouldn't have had an offensive title, the original poster only has themselves to blame.

So according to you, the N word is always irredeemable straight up racism?
|
|
|
|

Yes. I stand by what I said.
|
|
|
|

That's a bit old fashioned..
What do you suggest I call them, then?
|
|
|
|

How about 'people'?
What a little snot.
You know, most men go through a period in their lives where they learn on the schoolground, as it were, what is and isn't acceptable.
It seems to me you could have benefitted from having your teeth kicked in once or twice in your youth.

Obviously referring to them as 'people' is not accurate. There are far more people.
That's as stupid as referring to men as "people". Sure, they are people, but there are also people who aren't men.
You are far more offensive then I am.
And now you have made me angry.

Absolutely, if used by a white person, and not in a historical context.
e.g. I can refer to Jospeh Conrad's "The Nigger of the Narcissus" perfectly well, it has historical context. Or I can refer to it while discussing the civil rights movement.
Generally, I doubt such usage would even draw a complaint.

I had a thought - why don't we have a forum where we can post what tools we use - freeware only, no paid or shareware apps in order to keep the ad trolls away... The good thing about the voting system is that as people here use the tools they can vote up or down whether they like them or not.
Like yesterday, someone was complaining about Roxio, and I suggested ImgBurn - several follow on posters liked it and one mentioned how that was the only reason he went through the ranting posts...

I think I was the one who benefited from your post and I like your suggestion. I often bookmark a forum posts\mainly because I’m behind WebSense and want to catch up with the links later at home\ and probably 90% of those bookmarked posts contain a link to some free/inexpensive tool I want to look at. Though such a forum will be very hard to be moderated. Someone will have to constantly check the post and delete the links to commercial tools/applications. Otherwise it will be unfear to the CP customers who pay for the banners.

It would be nice if there could be some kind of ordering on this too, not sure how it would be achieved, so we could see the most popular tools first.
Otherwise the best tools will get buried - as they'll presumably be recommended earlier, and its generally not considered good form to repost.
Another possibility would be to "pin" some so they always appear near the top. A lot of gamer's sites have this feature, so the 5 most commonly asked/looked for tips appear before the user loses patience and asks again.

FYI, it seems like a few times a week when I visit CP, ALL items in ALL forums are marked as new. Not a serious bug; just thought I'd mention it.

For me too. But I'm doing Login-Logout-Login again which is fine.(But I know it's a dirty way ).
BTW I found this way accidentally

Same here. I reported this here in Site Bugs/Suggestions a while ago (several months ago), but it seems like nothing was done about that yet.

Is it possible you can add a feature to the notifications?
In the articles tab of the setting, provide a check box setting for Bookmarked Article Update Email Notification.
Then, whenever an article that a user has bookmarked is updated, drop an email to the user telling him/her so and have the article link in the message.
Cheers,

maybe "... updated by its author ..." to avoid cosmetic changes applied by editors (changing punctuation, adding CODE tags, etc).

I've gotten this error twice already. I was using my laptop at home over a wireless connection. When I get to work, I'll see if it happens there.

There has been a lot of odd pages flying about today, I think it is panic stations at Hamster Towers.
