Default Bearshare forum shows racism

The "promotion" of Evil Bear shows that www.bearshare.net is clearly rewarding racist remarks made against German ppl.

Some highly visible (ie the first post in the thread) remarks were edited out as a PR measure, but many many other racist remarks were allowed to remain.

If bearshare.net is truly trying to discourage racism, then Evil Blood should have been banned - instead he is "promoted".

Hi God.  "Evil Blood" wasn't promoted, he just had his status say something other than 'Bear'.  I was a little surprised myself at that, but he's not being rewarded!

Also, the editing wasn't for PR, it was because the remarks were extremely racist, and fortunately a Moderator saw it and took it out.

There are only two Mods at BearShare.net, one with a full time job and family, and the other one is in school.  They're unable to spend a lot of time sifting through every post in every forum to edit other racist remarks, along with the other things they must keep track of.  If you know of any, please help them out by reporting the posts by clicking the "Alert" link found in every post.

Thanks!

Brotaris!

The attacks started in the poll Vinnie raised... so Vinnie donīt know what is going on in his threads he started?

And God is right many posts are not edited yet!

And how you explain the "evil bear"?

P.S.:

And Vinnies Staff can edit posts too... so at least 4 or 5 people with mod rights are on bearshare.net!

Hi Morgwen,

I can't explain the "Evil Bear" status, except that maybe the guy asked to have that put there.  In this forum I see that Moak is called "Java & Milk Drinker".  How do you explain that?  Was he rewarded for something?

The BearShare staff may have mod rights, but they rarely do it.  They're busy with development and other business tasks.  Becker and someone else (not sure who) does almost all of the moderating there, so it's hard for two people to keep up with it all.

Whenever you see a post that offends you, just click the "Alert" link in the post.  The moderators will get an email message about it and check it out.

Brotaris!

This I explain very easy! Everyone can change his status here...

Look in the member list!

its your free choice... on bearshare.net only the admi Vinnie and his staff can change the status!

The explaination for "evil bear" is easy...

Evil defended Vinnie and perhaps he asked him (or Vinnie offered him!) but this was a reward for his attacks against me!

This is bad public relation for bearshare.net, as Vinnies poll is too!

Since i just got back on my computer i havent spent much time one bearshare.net yet. Has any one tryed changing thier status over there? maybe Sam [stafff] turned on this option or forgot to change it when he was updating the fourms. I will be over there looking in to this. I am sorry i do not read ever post over at bearshare.net, unlike these fourms i am a mod for a dozen or so fourms. and yes i have school keeping me from modding..
