Taymelo suspended one week

[Anthony]

Was Taymelos syndicate status removed, like my modship was?

Nope.

Equality my ass. This is nothing but a ploy for you guys to say: "Hey, see, we're fair!"


LMFAO. I dont even care.
I'm just trying to piss you guys off.

Something came up over here and I had to stop reading this thread somewhere close to JS' comments about how I always have the option of going somewhere else (thanks for that by the way, I think I might discover a whole wide world on the web now that I know I can go other places). But from the length of this thread, I expect I'll be back with something to say later.

ERRRR Wrong Tay is no longer a member of the syndicate.

The way I look at the policy is simple. It allowed for us to say racist statements had no place but fringe sterotypes and humor had a limited role as long as they remianed in check and in context. We allowed some of that to occur and for awhile because it was held in check for a while, but then the limit was pushed, we offered up warnings and asked nicely for the behavior to stop. Some people did while others ignored and wanted to further test our limits, we punished accordingly, but still were willing to look at it case by case. However once again the limited was pushed and more warnings and punishments were issued however they limit was again tested to the point that we are no longer finding that case by case examination works. It sucks that people are being suspended after one inncident but the fact is we did everything in the open so that it would deter behavior, it did not. So the finality of our views isn't a matter of a sudden change in policy it is a reaction to the enviroment in which we see is no longer in control.

Yes, I do remember this. You PM'ed me during my bout with Tay, and asked me nicely to stop.

And I did.

Then I was suspended!!!!!

And you have yet to address my post, regarding asking the poster to offer up an apology and encourage constructive dialogue between them and the membership. If the poster truly is racist, he or she shall refuse the option, choosing suspension. If it was merely a "mistake", then they'll say so. I'm sure the membership, who's comfort and security is the basis for these rules, would find a sincere apology sufficient.

My bad, I thought I still saw the title under his name.

Matt and Mola generally handle the graphics so titles are not removed as quickly as some would like, by myself and others for fear of messing up the site by going where we don't know how to navigate.

How can I get better tips from Black People?

I'll take this one.

Stereotype alert: If you can't handle them, don't read this:

I used to wait tables.

Unfortunately, its a trick question.

More often than not black people don't tip over 10%, no matter how much money they have, and no matter how good the service is.

I recommend not killing yourself to provide great service. You'll be wasting your time.

Forget about diners of Pakistani descent, as well.

Concentrate on white people. They are skittish about slavery. Kiss their butts, and they'll give you over 20% just so they don't feel like slavedrivers.

I'm kinda mad my race is getting stereotypic "cheap" comments from a jewish guy of ALL people. Anyway, as a black man I always give 15-20%...though I make no promises to people that "don't waste their time".

Why wasn't Varsity suspended for this? Is Mel Gibson's dad running the Syndicate?

I don't have a lot to offer, except knowing Taymeelo, he will be saving up a lot of wordy posts for his return.

Everyone run out and buy a backup scroll wheel mouse. You are going to need it.

I can't stand the way this stuff is handled. Why do you need to start a "Here ye, here ye!" thread about suspensions? Denny McLain's name got smeared, and now Taymelo's name got smeared. This stuff should be handled privately. And the punishment doesn't come close to fitting the crime. Taymelo makes some borderline racial comments, he gets suspended for a week, stripped of his syndicate rights, and a thread gets started by his other former syndicate members in which his name gets smeared.

Truer words... never spoken. SKelly for POY.
