The disgusting racism in the Immigration thread

I didnt ignore anything, you thanked my post?

If there are racist comments ie use of slurs, derogatory or abusive language etc then the guilty party should be sanctioned appropriately and in line with forum rules.

I re-read the thread from the point when the RoT was mentioned and there is currently nothing there that could be considered slurs, abusive or derogatory language, certainly that i can see anyway but happy to re-evaluate my position if you can point to racism directed at the RoT entrant in question.

Like i said previously, people asking questions about eligibility does not definitively indicate any racist motivations.

I don't understand the point of this thread. If you see an overtly racist post or a dogwhistle racist post then just report it. The mods will see it at some point and judge whether to remove it or not. If you think it may have been missed than politely message a mod and query it.

Girls that have a different skin colour or speak with a foreign accent from wherever do not appear to be the issue funnily enough .

It's the very cheek of an immigrant's daughter who is born in Ireland and raised here, to apply to be the Dublin Rose 🤯 If she were the Somali Rose someone on the thread said it would be fine !

And everyone who voted for this girl is similarly tarred .

Never mind that The Rose of Tralee is lauded as an inclusive competition that goes beyond how a girl looks and includes personality and character also .

Am not a fan of any of these competitions (the Lovely Girls competition being an exception) but as far as they go the Rose is not the worst at all at all at all ;)

Ah but they can fix it . The rules are the same it's just the emphasis is on hanging on to as many posters as possible in a mistaken attempt to' save the site ' .

However it was funny to see that some of the worst offenders (not all ) were among those in numbers to go to another site to badmouth Boards and mods and everyone else here .

Now returning as reregs or fully formed 'new' posters when that other site died a death or they were banned elsewhere.

All that corralling of these posters in one dive to the depths thread is doing is giving the site a bad name , click value for extremists , and putting off genuine boardsies long-term .

I would not agree with **** down the discussion . There are good posters there with very reasonable suggestions . It's the extremists that need to be rooted out , on both sides , but as it is mainly a one sided debate there ..

I dont think mods have the functionality to delete posts, rather they can only edit them (open to correction on that one). Regardless, I dont think any posts should be deleted unless whats being posted is illegal. Imo a mod edit stating what was posted was a breach of the site and / or has been sanctioned is better as it clearly shows what is and is not permissable.

Unnecessary.

So if it is possible to delete disgusting comments, and there are currently no disgusting comments on the immigration thread, that would indicate that mods have taken the appropriate action on the disgusting racism in the immigration thread relating to the RoT entrant which would render this thread moot?
