Yotatech forum racist warning (banned)

[div3r]

I noticed your post was edited by fink prat more like. The forum rules on Foul Language And Racial Slurs, would not even allow you to call someone a merchant banker (in jest).

I bet the banker was hovering, just waiting for someone to use a word, off his banned list.

It won’t be long before we will only be able to communicate with sign language, if we are not to upset someone, although the two fingers use at the Battle of Agincourt would probably some up your thoughts.

I do like the idea of joining and see how much you can get passed the moral police.

It was edited by FINK but the warning email came from waskillywabbit

If you do a search on their forum for Brit or Jap a whole load of posts old and new come up. I don't get why theyre being this way to a new member. May be they don't want any new members? If they really were offended then fair enough. A polite PM stating please dont abbreviate etc etc I really don't think it called for a warning!

I just think someones jealous of my 15x10's

[div3r]

You could politely ask why you are being discriminated against. If other people have transgressed and not been similarly treated that could amount to discrimination. Play them at their own game, they wont like it.

Dear dieselboy,

You have received a warning at YotaTech Forums.

Reason:
-------
Racial Slurs

"Jap" is considered a racial slur so please do not use it again.

Your thread has been moved to the appropriate section assuming the year model, 95-04

If that is not correct please report it and I'll move it to the appropriate spot.

Have been here on and off for a while now. Thought I would put up a pic of the Surf. It's a Japanese import, lifted on Landcruiser coils with adapter cups and BJ spacers. Also have 33" AT tyres with American Racing Baja 15x10 rims

This is a great site and I keep coming back time and again for ideas - a lot of useful information here!

:king:

Warnings serve as a reminder to you of the forum's rules, which you are expected to understand and follow.

All the best,
YotaTech Forums

Are you serious? I'm really not sure if you are kidding around! Jap is short for Japanese and is no way considered a racial slur. I'm sorry if I offended you - I will make sure not to use the shortened name on the site. Considering I'm pretty new here, a warning is very laughable! I'll make sure our Brit forum knows about it. Surely I cannot be racist there as I am British?

The posted rules are what you are expected to abide by whether you agree with them or not.

Consider this your last warning as you are new here I'm cutting you some slack. We have enough smart mouths and tough guys so if you want to be either we can just ban you now and be done with it.

Follow the rules or go back to your UK forum.

:guitar:

I'm trying to understand if you are discriminating against me because I am British or for some other reason? Why are you not actively correcting other members use of the word Jap? It seems this is a targeted discriminatory harassment. Please clarify.

This is the PM thread to the hot headed waskillywabbit

It seems fair to open a can of worms. All this shows is someones trigger happy on the old warning button!

[dieselboy]

He then sent this:

I read your smart ass remarks on your UK forum. I suggest you go back there.

I could care less your country of origin nor could I care if you like or dislike our rules. They are what they are and have nothing personal to do with you.

We have enough troublemakers on this side of the ocean already so enjoy your ban.

To which I replied:

I am not being nor trying to be smart. I have simply pointed out some facts to you. I have said a number of times that I ACCEPT your warning and I ACCEPT the rules and abide by them. I have not come here to cause trouble - please state how if you actually think this. I merely posted some photos of the truck and some comments about that, plus some diff lock posts.

All you are showing us is that you are simply picking on one person because you can. You seem to be taking what I write and it meaning something completely different to you. No one else has a problem?

However it seems your mind is made up already.

And Now I'm BANNED

BIG LOL

[dieselboy]

You have been banned for the following reason:
Racial slurs and ignoring warning from a mod

Date the ban will be lifted: Never

Didn't know you get banned for typing Jap Import... I'm really worried I'll get banned from here too

A list of threads with the word 'Jap' in them!!!!

We could have so much fun with the sensitive souls on there, might start a war or something.

[gwh200]

Ah...good to see a little common sense, applied in a gracious manner.
Not from the former colony like...see tony, stop upsetting people.

Especially Americans, with no sense of humor.
Just leave them be. It must be time for the good old boy to get his overalls off and show his sister what for.

[dieselboy]

He is reading all these posts you know. It's a pointless ban really. Makes him look stupid and I could simply visit the site without logging in - If I need to post I could simply re-create another account.

I must stop upsetting people! I did say sorry!

I like how he put "racial slurs", as in the plural - like I just go around being racist all day long

[gwh200]

Just remember.
If there's no mire 'jap' then apply the rule fastidiously. No more Brits,scots,Huns,wops,spics.
I do belive yanks is now banned, but inbred is ok.

oh and the French are still to$$ers.

sorry lé to$$ers.

The word "jap" is in absolutely loads of their threads, even in one of their sticky threads as well, he obviously didn't like you or was having a bad day, either way, he may have the right to ban you as a mod but his moral high ground he is attempting to stand on leaves a lot to be desired.

[gwh200]

His moral high ground is as shaky as American designed suspension.

[div3r]

They have invaded more sovereign nations, dropped two atomic weapons and killed more innocent people than any other country on the planet, all to preserve THEIR way of life. They have supported rogue nations when it has suited their purpose.

The American motto should be "We come in peace, as long as you give us your mineral reserves"

And they have got the audacity to accuse you of using racist words.
The irony of all this is that you only went on to compliment their site.
They think they have had the last word, well we can take the wee till the cows come home.

He's jealous of my deep dish rims. Thats all

Grah I like your comment mate

He has done one thing today, and given us all a good chuckle - so nothing lost.
