Last week you took offense to something and you have been creating a disturbance about it. The situation was dealt with by the removal of the offensive cartoon and removal of all posts relating to the offending cartoon. How you reacted and the actions you took contributed to making the situation worse than it had to be. There was no intent to offend you personally. There is a huge difference between someone posting an insensitive cartoon in poor taste and someone trying to offend or insult a particular member. In the case of the offending cartoon, you could have respectfully asked the member who posted it, or an admin, to remove it. Reporting offensive content to an Admin is always the best option. Instead, you made a post that was almost as inappropriate as the cartoon.

It was inappropriate for you to post in two threads that were about discussions of proposals for changes in our administration policy. It is clear that you were unhappy with how your particular complaint was addressed. Demanding a log of an admin conversation in a thread that admins weren’t even participating in was not a good way to get any help from an admin. By the way, there was no admin conversation about this incident at the time. One admin removed the cartoon and explained to the member who had posted it. Another admin came along a few hours later and removed another post that was out of place after the preceding posts had been removed. That admin also deleted the cartoon from the image database. That was all that happened. Even if there had been a chat, there would not be a log of that conversation.

The admins do not read every thread or immediately look at every one of the hundreds of images uploaded to the wiki. We have a multi-cultured community and cannot censor all content for what might offend any one individual. Though, if someone is offended, then we want to handle it. This is why it is best to contact an Admin in these situations. The admins did chat after the incident about forum images. We agreed that it is reasonable to remove offensive cartoons, jokes or posts when someone asks us. Only8 included that in the draft image guidelines that she posted and she specifically pointed this out. The actions of the Admins in response to your requests seem to not satisfy you and you question the integrity of the admin team. To continue to put your POV in front of the community creates an environment that deters other members from participating.

Consider this as guidance:  Do not continue to complain about this incident or any other member of this site. If something or someone offends you, please ask an admin directly for a resolution. Do keep in mind that nothing on the wiki is private and some members read almost everything. Do not hijack another conversation. Do not jump to conclusions. Your behavior is disruptive. Continuation of this behavior will most likely result in a Warning and continued behavior beyond that could result in a Block per our Block Policy.
