Not trying to be a tattletail here but well, there was a mildly racist post on tgp.
I'm a little sensitive with this garbage so its really the first thing i ever reported there but nothins been done.
could be because its a supporting member.
Post #13. Then check out who shows up at #18.

Yeah, TGP is sometimes a cesspool.
The rules there are selectively enforced. I think mostly because they're vaguely written. You're at the whim of moderators to interpret them. There's definitely bias involved. (Fuck you, Herb!)
If it bothers you, avoid TGP. You're not gonna change the culture there.

Thanks dude. Sometimes its great for the knowledge. But more times than that the amount of idiocy and entitlement
there makes me cringe. I think i should just stick to the pub.

The post was classist and racist toward mexicans which is fucked up.
I guess they're gonna leave it up so why not start a thread complaining elsewhere?
or.. yeah i don't really feel like letting this go.
I must've gotten reported for something minuscule compared and had my post removed. It's like rule central.
I think I should send a brief Hey to that staff member.

Honestly, solewheelin, if I were you, I'd just drop it.
Much like the greater world at large, TGP isn't a fair place (especially the "moderating").
I've been suspended there before for literally no reason other than a moderator's personal bias. Tryin' to reason w/ 'em won't get you anywhere.
It's like rule central except the rules aren't clearly defined.

Much like 4c**n or fa**b**k, that forum is a place one should never go for any reason. I'm sure there are a few exceptions but mostly it seems filled with all the most boring, irrelevant and conservative musicians on earth.

You're right. the best course here is to probably drop it and move on. i still feel like throwing flames though.

+1 that place is a club for people who think you can buy a personality. Bigotry is kind of the default mode for people incapable of thinking for themselves.
Preserve your inner peace, solewheelin.

If it makes you feel any better solewheelin, so far I have only been avoiding hanging out at that page because it never really clicked with me as a comfortable or fun place.
That post was an "ah, there it is" moment, like when you finally find the rotting mess of an old meal in your fridge that's been mildly mucking everything else up in super stealth mode.
Thank you for casting the spotlight on that, that I can now proceed along with my day just a little bit cleaner.
