Again it had NOTHING to do with breaking rules. Just someone thorwing a hissy fit. It would be no different then me making fun of that girl who got cold feet before she got married.

My guess is they only supress what they want and not actual insults.

That's not our intent. As always, there will be differences of opinion on some subjective matters. Perhaps the PM sent to you will provide enough additional explanation -- if not, you'll know who to ask.
Accusing the rest of us of being arbitrary and capricious will probably earn you negative Brownie Points, even if they don't violate the TOS themselves. |

Actually I'm not looking for brownie points, but for club jungle to delete a post that was within the guidlines IS a joke. I also meant no insult for any of the SC that my original rebutal may or may not have been intended for.

Frankly, I remembered reading the deleted post and feeling bothered by it. The apparently flippant association made between a country and a term that currently carries very negative, though powerful, connotations, surrounded by the entire current context of religion, politics and fear, was surprising.
This may have been meant as a joke, but some jokes cross lines that should not be crossed. There are differences in sensitivity levels, but a person who has been told that something is indeed a sensitive matter, but then argue about whether or not it is and continue to ignore the fact that someone, anyone, is sensitive to the matter, is showing a lot of insensitivity. Full stop.
I'm glad the admins are conscious of such issues and took an appropriate action about it.

So why not remove a remark that called someone "trailer trash" isn't it the same thing?
Edit to clarify: I never read the post but if one is racial then isn't the other? Also I am not saying he is right in his post because I didn't read it but they seem to be one in the same. I am not racial by any means. But if it is wrong for me being white to say something about another ethnic group. Then isn't it wrong for another ethnic group to say somethin derogatory about a white man?

To clairfy for the masses: The comment made could and was determined to be offensive to a particular ethnic group and included what could be argued to be a stereotypical depiction. As such, it was removed.
Please remember this is a multinational community. Consider your jokes carefully before posting. :) While it may seem funny, if it's perpetuating stereotypes it may not be something we should post here.
On that note- this thread has outlived it's usefulness. If you have further concerns please feel free to address Site Council via PM or using the Conact Us form. We always appreciate the time and energy you guys put into making DPC a fun place to hang out.
