_incredible_ how quickly hacker news visitors start posting slurs
- Arrath 4y agoOh you saw that thread by poster 'aaaaa' also? I registered just to tell them to fuck off but by the time I did the thread had been deleted. Way to go moderation!
- andy_andy_andy 4y agoi've seen about half a dozen in the past 2 hours
- Arrath 4y agoYeesh.
- partly_cloudy 4y agoso annoying -_-
- idiocrat 4y agoIt seems the forum is too generic, has no specialization, and has no seeded curated content. So if some CRM company has their demo/demo portal, I also post aaaaaaaaaa to check the basic functionality, not hoping this will ever take off. I also post very long aaaaaaa....aaaaaaa to see how the interface deals with overflow. Anyway whatever I post will be refreshed next day.
- partly_cloudy 4y agohe had a racist ass username so i changed it
- Arrath 4y agoYeah it wasn't the guy's username at the time that was the issue, it was the content of the thread he created but I wasn't going to repeat it in polite company here.
- joenot443 4y agoI didn’t see what was posted, but I feel like if one’s the type to be bothered by slurs, a self described 2000s style forum probably isn’t what I’d recommend.
- tsol 4y agoits just like the 2000s. that ever present community trolls are one part you don't always remember
- skymast 4y agoIt's amazing how thin skinned a lot of people are.
