It's true that clamping down and putting more restrictions on posters may be bad for the site and result in members leaving. However, we also believe that allowing certain groups to invade the board would result in members leaving or not joining in the first place. A new member browsing the board may be quite turned off if 90% of the articles in the Breaking News section are racist rants against black people, for example.

I always said that all that has to happen for me to leave is for one moderator or administrator to ask me to do so. Many of my fellow 'racists' take the same attitude. Instead of worrying about the creation of rules to curb our participation why not drop the pretense and simply ask us to leave or make a policy forbidding promotion of racialist views.
Like it or not folks; people like good ole Brett are going to come here and create threads if you permit it. His crime is that he is more dedicated to his cause than his opponents are dedicated to their causes so you may end up with 90% of your threads being racialist in nature.
Daisym is whining and crying about the number of racialist-oriented threads that appeared on the forum; how many threads has she created about Australian politics or other issues to add a variety to offset these threads so to speak?
