Closed roprotem - Racism/Baiting

[owenshooter]

Owen the video if i posted it to you or anybody else you get on with you would of seen it on the funny side. Because who it was its racist, it cannot work that way yes it was a bait. Yes it was trolling. Yes it was trying to provoke a response.

I do hope you can understand this point. I also know you hang about in live chat, global chat and give good advice to people. So yes you are helping the site you love so much, and yes you should get some form of protection from him. If not only to protect yourself from saying something you will later regret. But anyway lets see what happens.

i already stated that i saw your point, but i still feel it falls under racism, given his past incidents with me. i understand your point of view, we don't need to debate it. i still think it falls under the site guidelines for racism/bigotry and they seem very interested in avoiding this. thanks e2!-Jn

The video taken completely out of context and on it's own is not racist.
The video, being directed at owen, and given the history of the user who posted the video, both with regards to owen directly and other users on this site, is at the very least race baiting, and at worse simply racist.

Those of you arguing that the video taken on it's own isn't racist don't understand the nature of this complaint.

It's amazing to me that most of the people that are commenting on this matter are completely missing the truth and simplicity of the above statement.

Why are there only a few that understand?


Most people must be complete morons.

most people make it personal when it is about me... look at most of the posts... one user accused me of fabricating quotes to raise racism claims, which is a fictional statement. i led the charge for the bigotry/racism guidelines to be created and i helped to create them (along with other active members of the community)... when i raise a bigotry/racism issue, they are real, they are not personal or fabrications. the site appears to really be dropping the ball on this and this user is eroding the credibility the site had with addressing these matters.

as far as people not understanding, when people see my name attached, it becomes personal, period. look at my last complaint, that led to a C&A to have me removed from the community without any basis. this complaint is valid. the video out of context is not racist. the video directed at me, with the past history with me and his racist history on the site, is racist. grow a pair CC and give this guy a vacation that will wake him up. racism is not cool. period. and CC turning a blind eye to this guy is not cool. the mod response in this thread CURRENT AND FORMER is also disturbing. if you don't understand the nuances of racism, you should remain silent instead of looking like a dolt that is clueless...-Jn

[ronsizzle]

i better see a public stoning or a flogging by cc. this is fucking ridiculous. how can anyone argue what is going on here? wheres the fireball!

[owenshooter]

Wake the f*ck up. This is 2015. Racism is much more coded than just shouting the "n-word" at someone.

When a person of color states that something is racist, listen to them. Period. I give zero fucks what a bunch of white teenagers think racism is.

Not commenting on this particular case, clearly the accused has some issues... but in the past, owen has done some selective quoting to try to show racism where there was none. Any claim needs to be considered but one can't always assume veracity.

yes, let's look at my selective quoting that you are accusing me of:

Subject: ronc8649 [ka]

Seriously though, thinking it's big to using naughty words and insulting someone's mother? What are you, teenagers? Hardly heavyweight adult intellectual debate, is it? Is that really the best you can do?
That state of the human race, as shown by some of the examples on here, is quite depressing sometimes.
The upcoming war with Russia/N Korea/China/IS (allowing for escalation) vs the West may just be the cleansing that the race needs.

you said it, i quoted it. so, please stop making statements that i use selective or made up quotes to further my cases. you posted the words, i quoted the words. i can only quote what you have written. to do otherwise would make your claim valid. i quoted your exact words. so, once again, someone with a personal grudge against me is in this thread defending a members racist/bigoted actions based on a perceived slight/wrong from me in the past, that has no bearing on this case. nice try... you said what you said and i quoted it... please stop besmirching my honor in this thread, to further your little personal vendetta... thank you...-Jn

p.s.-oddly enough, RonC just posted in here.. ha! and i just knocked you out.

[clangfield]

Quoted out of context, with your own added emphasis and a comment that may have been interpreted to suggest that it was racist when it clearly was not.
No personal grudge. If it helps the harmony then I withdraw the accusation.

it wasn't quoted out of context. they were your exact words. it is what it is. it's water under the bridge. let it go. you are my favorite member. now let's get back to why CC is not addressing this accusation and why the chat team seems to have no larger stick than a 24 hour ban (which was already issued and is up)... also, if cc is serious about racism/bigotry, why are they allowing this member to do as he pleases with nothing more than 24 hour bans? does he own a certain cajun snack chip that we know someone is fond of (oh, that was good)... thank you...-Jn

an entire 5 day work week and not a word in here from anyone about this and the guy is still not in GUESTS... yes, this new team CC takes racism/bigotry very serious!! zero tolerance all around!! this is an embarrassment to the site, the bigotry/racism guidelines and all the past team members that actually put in time and effort to make this a site that actually prevented this sort of garbage from going on. never have i seen one member, able to say so many racist/bigoted comments within a 2 month span and suffer nothing more than TWO 24 HOUR BANS for separate occasions. absolute joke. good job team CC!! put it in closed and people will not remember or just forget about it... ha!!! way to step up to the plate...-Jn

Accused: roprotem

The accused are suspected of: Racism/Baiting/Ignoring Mod Warning

Comments: Having both been warned to stop baiting/instigating each other by the powers that be via PM, i have made an effort to leave this user alone. his continual racism/bigotry within global seems to go unpunished and when reported to the chat mods as asked, the outcome is generally the same. nothing. screen shot from 12:15pm 9/26/15, where out of nowhere a baiting and racist post is directed at me. this is the only post he made in global and then vanished. clearly racist, clearly baiting, clearly another racism/bigotry violation for this user. WHERE IS HE ON THE BIGOTRY VIOLATION SCALE? this is tiresome. CC claims to not tolerate racism/bigotry, but they allow this user to continue to harass and make racist/bigoted comments towards me and other members (my fav was the derogatory term used at members newborn baby, when he announced he was a new father. classy).

this needs to be dealt with in the open and the outcome needs to be posted publicly. CC claims to not tolerate this sort of racism/bigotry/harassment, yet they continually allow it. this is the 4th time this month he has made racist comments towards me and i know at least a half dozen other times he has done the same to others in global chat. i don't want a chat ban, i want a chat and forum ban. this user should not be allowed to post within the forums or global chat for an extended amount of time. i am totally calling team CC out on this, because they have failed to curb this users racist antics for quite some time.

Owen, as I (and Shannon) said. Live Chat and Forums have different scales. Aka, You can get perma banned from Forums, but still access Live Chat, and you can be perma banned from Live Chat, but still access the forums. A ban from The Live Chat DOES NOT ban you from the forums. So no, he won't show up as a Guest on his profile, as the Wall/Profile is tied to the forums, not Live Chat.

It has been this way for a long time.

- Its all wrong, and when saying "Its been that way for a long time", does not make it right or OK, something has to change then? That's like the first person in the year 1660 who told the witch hunters " What are we doing killing these young women??!!", the witch hunters said " What?, We've been doing this for years?", Thank God they finally realized it was wrong. I 1000% agree with Owen, why hasn't any action been taken? The way this has been handled paves the way for others to not take racism/bigotry/flaming serious, and the next to get accused will say " Hey,nothing happened to the other guy, why punish me if you didn't punish him?". And by saying its still in the process doesn't work because the killer has been on the loose all week. Merge forum and chat punishment so its not like " Nope, sorry, not our department"?.

I'm just saying the truth about how this works. Raz said that roprotem was given a chat ban. So action has been taken (Perhaps you should have read the whole thread). He was given a 24 hour ban, and it was up to the Admin's to determine whether his actions were worth a harsher punishment or not. USUALLY any punishment done in LC, was kept in LC. If something happened when a mod wasn't there, you're were generally advised to contact a Chat Mod. Not bring it to C&A. Not saying owen is a weiner for doing what he did, I'm just stating facts.

C&A isn't about Suggestions either. If you want to suggest merging the ladders together, head on over to Suggestions. I can't remember the reasoning behind having two ladders, but I know they had one.

[MagnusGreeol]

- Not bothering to re- quote cuz its way to long, but I did read the whole thread, and the 16 hr ( not including 8hrs sleep) ban was a flick of the ear lobe punishment,,and as for " Suggestions ", that's looked at as much as this is now?

- Not to be argumentive, Just stating the facts.

[Serbia]

I think we all understand how it works, and how it has worked. Doesn't make it right, and doesn't mean it can't be changed. Originally there wasn't any type of punishment scale on this site; that got changed due in part to public outcry over users such as Norse. Owen is suggesting that there should be a change, and I frankly agree with him.

[Razorvich]

Owen received a PM from K.A. last Monday concerning the result of this case, as he escalated things to Admin level, I am a little surprised you haven'y quoted it yet.

bottom line...

roprotem was found to be baiting Owen, and his chat ban was escalated from 24 hours to 72 hours, as per his current discipline loading.

There was an technical issue here, that allowed roprotem to enter Global Chat for a short period before the 72 hour upgrade kicked in.
This as been addressed by Blake to avoid this reoccurring in the future.

As for forum bans, that is entirely out of my hands.

This still doesn't change the fact that you have demonstrated that you are not qualified to handle the complexities of a case like this.

From the very beginning you did a fantastic job of displaying your ignorance. It would go along way if you were to admit that you were wrong and that you acted inappropriately and to apologize to Owen, but I'm sure that this will never happen.

pretty much... i agree with this 100%... and being in that forum that he mentioned, the rules are pretty clear, so this user should have been perma-banned after his 3rd infraction, this is his 5th... so, it isn't that the rules need to change, it is that they need to be enforced. and yes, the people in charge absolutely showed their ignorance concerning this matter. they should all be embarrassed.

as far as PM's from King A and BigWham, they are sitting in my box. why? because i knew exactly what was up when this guy was posting a day later and he was not in guests. the only thing that will come from reading those posts is my getting a substantial ban. i am saving them for a time when i literally want to laugh, because i know otherwise, i will lose my mind. this site literally was just handed this users 5th blatant racist infraction and determined that newscasts are not racist. ignorance is bliss and bliss is CC...

the moderation on this site is sub par at best and now with this, i have zero hope. you should all be embarrassed...-Jésus noir

p.s.-i apologize if the pm's from the big wigs are actually informative, well thought out and intellectual concerning this matter. otherwise, the cookie squad can get bent. you showed your true colors. "oh, what can we do? you should change the rules!!" oh, the rules that state a perma-ban after THREE FUCKING INFRACTIONS? this was his 5th, at least. get bent.

they don't understand the nuances of racism. now we are hearing go help change the rules. the rules are clear. 3rd time is a perma ban. this is the 5th openly racist thing this member has posted that i have reported. and that is being generous with the count, i am sure there were more. this regime is chicken shit and doesn't think racism is an issue. this issue, this complaint was solid and now you have created a precedent, an out for the next racist mother f'er that comes with this garbage at a member of colour.

[eddie2]

Omg the video was not racist. Trolling baiting flaming yes maybe. But not racist.has the user had a past of racism yes he has. But you are using that to say this video is, all i get from the video is you are a fat man running. Thats all it is. Now in your context you posting a video of a white crying baby when a white person posts. Or other videos you post in comment to things. They will have to be classed as racist as well. I am totally against racism 100 percent. (Grounded my son before for asking if we were having a chinkie for dinner. A word we dont use). But what really gets my goat up is how certain cultures do not get things there own way they use the racist card. One very good example was in jersey channel islands. Portugese and polish trying to get social housing would use the rasist card. To the extent that a lot of the housing was going to them, one of my friends had to live in a 7th floor 2 bed flat with a 13,11 and new born baby. Do you know how she actually finally managed to move. By saying to the housing department that they were being racist to jersey people, due to non jersey people using the racist card. And that i am afraid to say is, what this world has turned into. To many people using the racist card and some real racism being overlooked because of it.

eddie admitting he doesn't understand this complaint

The video taken completely out of context and on it's own is not racist.
The video, being directed at owen, and given the history of the user who posted the video, both with regards to owen directly and other users on this site, is at the very least race baiting, and at worse simply racist.

Those of you arguing that the video taken on it's own isn't racist don't understand the nature of this complaint.

I'm not sure with whom I'm agreeing or disagreeing here... but the video, just as a video, on its own, is not racist in my view. It involves black people but that doesn't make it racist, any more than a video of an Olympic 100 metres since about 1936 or a ladies tennis final of the last 15 years. It's not saying anything specific to, or derogatory about, black people or black culture, unless you believe that only a black person would behave that way, which I do not think would be the case.

Using it in this way, and the comments added though, do make the motivation racial, so I believe it would be incorrect just to consider the video on its own.

- If Owen and Ropes never had tension or aggression towards each other, and Ropes posted that video and said " Hey Owen Bro, what's going on in Texas with the cheerleaders battling each other?", Then its just about a news video, But knowing the past tension between them makes sending that video with an attached time saying Owen is the lady running out makes it wrong since Ropes should not be directing anything at Owen,, He should steer clear of him. So basically it is racism because past history with them, If you make racist remarks your not aloud to direct a video like that towards someone you've thrown racist remarks at.

I'm not sure with whom I'm agreeing or disagreeing here... but the video, just as a video, on its own, is not racist in my view. It involves black people but that doesn't make it racist, any more than a video of an Olympic 100 metres since about 1936 or a ladies tennis final of the last 15 years. It's not saying anything specific to, or derogatory about, black people or black culture, unless you believe that only a black person would behave that way, which I do not think would be the case.

Using it in this way, and the comments added though, do make the motivation racial, so I believe it would be incorrect just to consider the video on its own.

The comment being "is that owen at 01:27 ?" I still don't see anything racist.
