But when people go over the top trying to be cool by using racial slurs and never have any substance to their posts, it gets old fast and it seems that some people are just here to bash on others.

on the same note, i dont want to see a ban of any word other than cc- fab. i think some people just need to realize when their ---- is getting old and no one is laughing. its more than just racism its the attitude some people have, but i guess that happens everywhere on the interweb

I agree with that. No need to ban unless its gay porn but i've been on here longer than the guys i've seen using this word and honestly your killing the forum. Using it here and there is fine over a year ago i knew it was all in good fun but the past year your making the forum look like ----. I can't even tell my boys to go to this site because it has usefull information about turbo because some of you are making it out to be a hate site. And they going to look at me weird wondering why the hell i'm a mod and been on the site for over 3 years.

nignog, nigga, and nigglet was fine but throwing ------ every thread i pull up is annoying....You guys need to tone it down a bit...

I agree. Joking around and having fun, even bashing each other is fine and dandy. The repeated use of any word gets annoying after a while. I don't want this site to turn into one of those gay ass sites that filters words or ****'s them out because that's just ------- gay. The members need to just maintain a maturity level high enough so filters don't need to be used. I'm no angel and I don't know of anybody who is, but I try not to be a completely ignorant piece of white trash ---- as much as possible. Maybe other people should give it a shot. :l

Re: Racism on HMT

I say just ban on a case-by-case basis... if somoene is annoying and using racism to seem cool (which I absolutely hate) or to just be more annoying, they should get banned just for being a giant douche.

Re: Racism on HMT

well then it sounds like it's settled, i'd say BD and ghettoturbo had some very good points, and it appears to be up to everyone's discretion. I can't imagine HMT being so bent over rules that it would turn into HT, and that's what makes it great. I think if we do get assholes who drop an N bomb 5 times in every post then the mods should PM them and tell them to tone it down instead of just banning their asses. Overall i think HMT just needs to keep a balance of having fun, whithout getting out of control, and avoiding becomming like HT at all costs :y

Re: Racism on HMT

I understand the concern of the abuse of the racism slurs, but I hope HMT does not become pollitically correct or get EMO.
That would be worse than the latter.

Never really got offended by anything, small stuff here and there but its always been a good site that I frequent. Lately noobs are comin on the site and using racial ---- like thats the reason HMT was created. Its not even normal where in a thread you would see say Stevemode drop a N-bomb on JD for the sake of humor, its gotten to the point where people create threads, specifically for the purpose of being racist. Like the last thread on Black History month, totally unneccessary. Stuff like that would be legitimate reason why a ban could be in place. I've never seen a thread where every one of us like 5 or so black guys that actually frequent the site had stepped and stated that something was actually offensive. Little else bothers me but dumb ---- like that. ----, maybe I just hate Mike94se and think hes a huge fag, But I'd trade him for Hotrex anyday, atleast his ---- was funny.
