And if you don't want to read it, then why are you still reading?
I understand I'm a day or so late however, I feel the same as I've always felt. I guess I just didn't want to present my opinion to people who haven't been approached with it or perhaps don't care.
Anyway, for the past month, I've noticed (and I'm sure others have witnessed) racist comments. With that being said, I'm not sure how many of you live in America but, the month of February is considered sacred to our country for that it promotes not only Black History but peace in general throughout the world. "So what's your point cheeks?" My point is this...
Why regulate the rule ***Hateful or offensive content directed towards any individual or group will not be tolerated.*** when nothing is being done about it? And you tell us ***Do not post hara**ing or discriminatory comments based on race, ethnic origin, gender, or sexual orientation.***
Sexual orientation AT LAST? There are more homophobes in Jamaica alone than I have cells in my body. (Ok, maybe not) And I could be an informer and go skipping towards a next MOD telling (s)he that "so and so" said this, but that's not my job. I don't even have a job! I go to school. But that's not the point either.
The point is this: I feel the rules are being bent for people who have contributed and spent a while on the site. More so, people who are friends with a MOD and take advantage. How do you feel about this?
Comment if you want but, all I ask is that you participate in the poll. Please, , and Manners

cheeks 90% of ppl on here do it it not just say the mods or friends of the mods. There are quite a few posts on here where members would reply to a topic by saying and I quote "stupid white ppl", which I replied to a bunch of times and say what if somebody whose is white would say dumb black ppl. Especially wid wifie being european those racist comments whether its not directed straight to her are still offensive.
Mediazone is growing everyday and there is more international members than actual members in Jamaica so if we continue to portray that racist attitude it may affect the way in which ppl view the members on a whole on here.

Speaking on MY behalf:
When I see racist topics, I delete them. If I looked over one, apologies. I address this same topic in the chatbox, if I see people making derroagatory comments. Additionally, I delete (without hesitation) any topic that instigates anger. This ranges from your topics in "(so called)funny stuff" to "news in tha street."
You are NOT an "informer". So Cheeks, I commend you for voicing your opinion.
Again, I urge other members with prolems like these to speak up. We are NOT going to see ALL of them. So help us to help you.
