Nigga vs nigg**

So I've been banned a couple times for the inappropriate use of the word nigg*r, which is obviously wrong but lately I've seen people saying nigga without any repercussions - even in a signature . Has the ruling on this changed or should I just use the slang version instead?

Just be safe and avoid it all together by using thug
It's proven to be less offensive

If I see nigga I usually delete and warn members and if they've been warned/banned before I'll ban them.

You also need to realize that mods don't see everything. If you have an issue pm a mod.

What about "Colored people"? Is that still an acceptable term?

To me it means the same thing, a bunch of spoiled rich white kids (which is still fine, I have no issue with spoiled white kids) using a word or words they don't understand. Actually they don't even come close to understanding it, and probably never will. Its a complex word that has inspired more controversy than almost any other.

So while I don't think censorship is right, using words you don't even come close to fathoming is pretty stupid as well. At least make an attempt to understand what youre really saying when you use it and try to see it from the perspective of someone who has been truly affected, belittled, and discriminated against through the use of that word.

And thug used a replacement is just as stupid, you just want to create a new n-word? Why does the word thug pop into your sheltered little mind as a replacement anyways?
