i have found a lot of discussions here generalised and prejudiced against other races. we certainly donot need racism here in myLot. let's not single out any user, but we should not demean one community and group of ppl and excite hatred in myLot.
i just wish, before the moderators take up the disgrace, we should be more responsible towards our approach and should not air our personal hatred through a site which speaks of universalism.
Thank you

There is nothing that can be done in this board, over here you have to listen to hate speeches addressed to countries,religion bashing, sometimes even bashing people whose English is not good.
You have to just stick out of those discussions, no use reporting those threads because no action is taken ( action will be taken only if that person has said something that goes against the native country of this website or the main religion of that country). In other words there is a clear bias. In fact things are so bad now, people have started reporting other user's just for settling scores.
If these things go on this board's going to collapse, they
will lose a majority of user's and only users from usa, canada etc. will be here. In that case they could have just designed this board for their citizens only. Why make
the effort to create a world forum where there exists only
one sided freedom of speech, where every one has to bear with the flaming going on over here, the rules are also rigged to suit the citizens of these countries, whatever crap they say is acceptable, whereas, if anyone else says
something against them, that person immediately gets a rap
on the knuckles.
The whole effort looks like a one sided chess game, where
the player just for the cheap thrill of winning, plays on
both the sides of the board, all alone. The entire board is fast turning into a playground, where children make the
rules. lol

Thankfully,I didn't come across a racist discussion yet.Probably that's because I keep myself mostly to my friend's discussions.It's only when there are no discussions from my friends ,I search for topics from my interest or in the hot topics section.If I find any racism, I'd report it to Mylot Admin.I ,too,love being friends with people from all over the world here and would not like anything to spoil it.

thank you aidonia for the support.]
i find some of the users to be very blatant with insolence towards specific races and this is disgraceful. we just cannot afford to have this going. once, i remember, i reported one user (that is the only time i reported anyone) for his xenophobia. i was sad to go through his post and couple of others' who actually supported him !!
thank you

It seems that no matter where you go, there will always be a FEW people who like to create trouble by having extremist views on life-- race, religion, politics, anything that we can become very passionate about. I agree entirely that we should not demean any individuals or groups, especially on a web site that caters to the whole world. There ARE so-called "flame boards" on the Internet, so maybe people with such inclinations would be better off there.
Fortunately, I have only come across a single truly "nasty" discussion... and I guess all we can really do (as I did then) is use the reporting "!" so the moderators can remove the discussion.
