I am concerned about a trend I have started to notice recently on our forums, more specifically - hate speech. I have noticed two threads now in which members post somewhat derogatory comments regarding certain ethnicities and cultures - in particular, gypsies or Romani people. Let me remind you about our forum rules:
I know we try to keep a lax atmosphere around here, and we sometimes decide to close our eyes to small jokes or the like, but the comments about gypsies are starting to get on the unsavory/inappropriate side. As the rules state - you are entitled to have your opinion, but if it targets a specific ethnicity or race, you have to keep it to yourself.
5. No racism and the likes: There is a 0 tolerance with this kinda stuff. You have a right to your opinion, but not to express it here. Do so and you will be banned, period.
