Hey, give him a break. He's basically doing this on his own and we're all enjoying this site for free. I'm sure he has better things to do than monitor this site all day long.
If guys just ignored the trolls, they would eventually leave...
No, I wonโt give him a break. As the Admin he should be monitoring this site. My beef with him is when fucking racists like DietWoke (or whatever he changed his handle to now) posts Nazi images and makes posts supporting genocide (the Holocaust), and killing Jews, he just sits on his ass not doing anything. And by not stopping it, he is therefore either: 1) incompetent and an absentee landlord; or 2) he is actually supporting hate speech.
The Canadian Criminal Code has sections relating to Hate Speech. While these laws are generally geared toward individuals, this doesnโt mean they canโt be extended to online communities supporting them because laws do evolve. Is law enforcement monitoring this site? Sure they are. Mainly for information on human trafficking or drug use but seeing hate speech wonโt escape their attention either. Worst case scenario is that if hate speech flourishโs, law enforcement could shut down this board for promoting it. Then where will we go for reviews? Back to Terb? Sure, the risk is low but itโs the principle that matters.
Iโm not advocating a Terb like Admin level of oversight when posting a bad review might get you banned. But, hate speech crosses a line, one that even basic or casual Admin oversight should have already put a stop to. But it continues, so Iโm going to call the Admin out as it continues and even proliferates.
Just to set the record straight, I am not Jewish. I just detest racism in all forms, against all groups, and there is just too much of it going unchecked by the one guy whoโs
job (heโs getting paid) is to keep it in check. When my employees sit on their ass and donโt do anything but are still getting paid, I warn them to get their act together, and if they donโt, I fire their asses.
