I read what I read online and again, it upsets me.
...but the absolute #1 complaint I hear about PFA at the WSOP and other live poker experiences is that I allow "racism and other bigoted content".
Good call. You should look closer at Sonatine who posts nude black men on here and more recently BCR who called me a "sand nig-er" after I posted here that I have an Arab background. You should start looking at all of the posts by the resident liberals that constantly attacks the "good members" here with the constant liberal insults of autism, "faggot", etc. Those are the problem people we constantly see here and complain about. This is why Snowtracks, Dwai and FPSJesus left the forum.
I actually have toned down what is allowed here for that reason, because it's true that at the end of the day, I am the sole owner and moderator, and the posts here can have a reflection upon me, even if I didn't make them or support them. It's always been a fine line between free speech and potential damage to my reputation, when it comes to moderating PFA.
Unfortunately, you only moderate a handful of members here and the others get to break the rules.
The reason I'm bringing this up is because nobody has ever complained to me that sonatine's shitposting is offending them. The complaints have all been about racist/homophobic type content, and a lot of what you've posted would be considered that way by many people, regardless of how you mean it.
Lets break that down-
"racist"- The resident liberals here use the national tactic on PFA as well- Any topic that includes race is r"acist" if you dont agree with them. Druff- Your buying into the old tactic of "because I said so" by them. Just because the resident libtards here claim "racism", does
not mean its true. Me- I'm very careful what I post here on race and its always within normal acceptable standards. My main point here has always been- I do not believe blacks are victims, repressed or deserve reparations.The X videos I post also the national pulse of what is current in the black community. And those posts have never been removed as they are legit and tasteful. So YES, I do use my Freedom of Speech and Expression here on the topic, but its never been outside of the allowable limits and you know this.
"homophobic"- The board allows people here to use the "Later Fag" graphic of a baby being thrown out of a building window. I purposely newer use this board supplied graphic as its just not for me. Any other "homophobic" posts or material by me, I just dont think there has been much.
In short, if I banned sonatine or deleted all of his posts, it would have zero effect on my reputation in poker.
Based on....? I also disagree. You have multiple good members here telling you they are tired of his routine here. I think that would reflect accurately onto the real world. Most real life poker pros do
not want to see naked black men or fat naked black women here along with the more recent annoying enlarged bogus IA profile summaries.
If I banned you or deleted all of your posts, it would reduce the amount of flak I get from some people in live poker settings regarding what I allow here.
I find that hard to believe and think youre just throwing that on here to shift the conversation. I do believe you have a few liberal minded players approaching you, but I question if they are actually saying- "You know that desert runner, he sure upsets me...:" I just dont find that believable. All of my posts here are pretty mellow and within normal guide lines and the posted 2016 rules.
