the real problem about kopitiam is the racial bias. any other than that is fine with me. once something racial is triggered, u will see dozens of retards swarming their racism-intended opinions and neglecting others feelings. it just need someone like unknown warrior to trigger this and u'll see how the mechanism is proven.

who's stupid now? the one who reports or the complete zero tolerance turd who spam their way into degrading other race? i usually report when the thread started to get wild, sometimes mods are late, it was understandable, but names like ah wang, which i think low-balling from his mod duty just sit there and enjoy the show.

i think it's really the time to express this. it's a shame that racism is a downturn for LYN. have u ever seen a Malay throwing racist remarks to the chinese in this forum except for the obviously ignorant nick like u-know-who ?

i agree if this is part of the situation we're living in, where lack of tolerance still being practice, but why here? LYN is suppose to cater for modernist, technocrats, hobbyist, geeks and nerds (whatever u call it, to me it's fine).

we need more Malay mods, period!

I can't speak for every one of the other mods, but I would have to personally agree with you that we (or maybe myself?) could do better when it comes to handing out banhammers for racist remarks. As you've mentioned, the majority of the mod team are Chinese, but then it's because the majority of LYN members are Chinese as well. Not that this is an excuse. I've handed out suspensions for nasty comments made about ethnicity other than my own, but we'll try to (and must) do better. But the last thing we need is a racial quota for mods; that's just going to perpetuate the problem and it presumes that we can't be fair just because we're of this race and not the other.

It's a mistake to say that one particular race is the more frequent target; based on experience it's not as lop-sided as you think. But still, it's not an excuse for not treating all complaints equally. (and I think that most of us have been around kopitiam long enough to know that u-know-who is a forum character that's playing to real-life stereotypes and if you take his posts seriously then it's a sure sign of how new you are wink.gif)
