New Board Rule - Regarding use of word tether

REDLINE

Well Tether has an "er" at the end of it?

What if I use the "a" version?

If I say what up my "Tetha"...is that cool? :idea:







Also, it is a form of crypto. :dunno:
Sure, if you'd like to holla at your tetha's then you should be good and no one would have a problem with it.

And I could be wrong, but I think that you "MIGHT" be ok with using the word tether when referencing crypto, tether ball and tethering your fishing line.

I could be wrong though so check with @HNIC and the mods...





















































































































Ok you're smarter than that, I know that you are. You're just trying to be cute, but go be cute with someone else because I have no time for semantics and bullshit .

And I mean that in the nicest way possible my tetha.

It's weird how this get confused and lost in translation. The majority of this board don't use the term tether and many if not most in this thread hadn't heard the term or know what it meant until this thread.

The term wasn't widely used on this board except by what, maybe 5-6 people?

I also don't see anyone crying or fighting to use that word specifically. I do see the questioning of why banning that word specifically versus not banning other things such as maga supporters and maga trolls which are definitely detrimental to Black people.

if people dont use it or dont want to use it why are they up in arms about it ? its quite baffling aint it?
is it cos they implicitly know what it is & dont want to admit it ?

Ive never fought to use word ethnic or racial slurs against anyone anywhere EVER not 16 pages worth of arguments !
I accepted the bans @HNIC put on bgol when I got here becos I dont engage in or intend to engage in any of them.. so why is this one so hard ? what make sit different ! is it becos they want to use it ?
shouldnt that tell u something doesn't it ?


and we can have the discussion about any other words or maga fuckery supporters & trolls etc u can think of but that doesn't negate this :dunno:

Ok maybe it's me, I have so many trolls on ignore so I don't see the members saying "I should be able to use the word tether".

The point that continues to get missed is this.

- None of us want to use the term "tether" or any other jokes that denigrate African or Carribean people.

But what is the point of banning the word "tether" when any of these trolls will just replace that word with one of Tariq Nasheed's A.I. generated anti-African/Carribean pictures?

Or one of his offensive comics?

Or one of his offensive songs?

All of a sudden mods are banning everything and BGOL gets turned into an egg-shell environment and for a forum that is not getting younger, that is a recipe for failure.

Let the forum police itself, when people find themselves getting ignored or on many people's blocked lists then they'll stop.

Don't feed the trolls and
implement two-way ignore.

When trolls realize that not only they've been ignored but can no longer see that person's posts and threads, then behavior on BGOL will fix it self in a matter of days!

That point has seriously been missed.

With regards to "two-way ignore"

For example, today is Tuesday, and here's a troll using xenophobic terms, posting hateful shit, or is just a general pain in the ass.

Tomorrow that troll wakes up and logs into BGOL and realizes that he can't see certain member's posts or certain member's threads.

He can't see Slam's themed threads or Playahaitian's Crush thread or G's Spotlight threads, he can't see Fonz's shit, all of a sudden this trolls BGOL experience is seriously gimped.

You'll have more examples of niggas begging to get taken off of blocked lists than niggas using xenophobic terms.

So trolling can continue as long as you can't see it and it can't see you? How about just getting rid of the troll?

You missed the point about "two-way ignore"
With the current ignore system we have now, if I block "so and so", I can no longer see them but they can still see me.

How about just getting rid of the troll?

When has BGOL ever gotten rid of trolls?

But we still have other lightweight trolls who know how to skirt the line and pump the brakes before the ban hammer comes down but they are still just as annoying.

Bullet is an example of this.

I think when donations aka money is involved it makes it tougher. I don't believe bgol will lose members if it tightened up on the trolling. I think it would gain members.

As I said before the last time it was mentioned. The only thing I don't like about two-way ignore features is that it'll allow the cowards to talk shit without repercussions.

Naaaaaah

im gonna assume the ADOS/FBA weak dudes are using this word to mess yuh money up HNIC? Acting as if this should be a place just for them?

I honestly dont think anyone they throw that word at is offended. Should be banning "Nigga"

Going forward, use of the word "tether" as a slur to address, refer to, or describe another BGOL member will subject to discipline, up to a possible ban. It will be treated as racist rhetoric, the same as when the word "monkey" is used to refer to Black people.

BGOL has always striven to celebrate and be welcoming to all Black peoples and will continue to do so. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping this hateful, divisive rhetoric off the board and helping us maintain a community that respects all Black culture

Why ban the word if you're only going to repost every hateful, xenophobic thing you can find on twitter back on BGOL?
You thought i was joking when i told you these cats were mentally ill? That word is most often found on BGOL when mangoslob spams the board with it via twitter reposts. His most damning evidence of the word being used and abused on BGOL is HIS posting of it. You can search and find me calling him out on the sad tactic in the past. Imagine bringing such toxicity and dehumanizing rhetoric and discourse to your safe space and then crying to @HNIC about it being used here. :smh:

All of y'all are full of shit. None of that shit should be reposted on BGOL. I don’t care who the fuck is posting it. When I call someone out on bgol I go at them directly. That fba and ados shit was presented to the board as a push for reparations then it quickly turned into posting demeaning retweets of Africans, black folk with a white parents, immigrants, basically any person who yall deemed ain't fba/ados. Every and anyone who retreats any of that bullshit here should be banned, I don't care which side you are on. Fuck the throwing stones back n forth.

No idea who "yall" is. But atleast we agree mangoslob is the biggest perpetrator and purveyor and should thus be banned.

Y'all includes you and whoever else trolls the board and support that you aint black if....shit. I do not agree he is the biggest perpetrator. The divisive shit has been cut by 95% since 4 morons have Ben banned. I don't know why Duece and mangobob76 keeps posting that shit. The fba/ados shit should be banned if they cannot stick to the reparations topic. Anyone posting any divisive tweets no matter what side, should be banned.
