Dunno about the mods, but the AZ admins are 100% happy to continue to platform racists>

Untrue. Starting with a statement of “fact” like that immediately has me questioning if you are posting in good faith.

When alerted and given information, they’ll maybe remove one or two offending posts but do absolutely nothing about the user despite a repeated history of it.>

The information you’ve previously compiled was either moderated already, or deleted by author when I saw most of if. What remained were ambiguous, possibly offensive comments if interpreted in particular ways . Either way… I didn’t see anything warranting further action than had already occurred. That and your actions at the time, harassing said user in every thread they posted in, had me take your input with a large grain of salt.

As far as I’m concerned the instance is run in very very bad faith.>

I don’t think there is anything I can say to convince you how wrong you are on this one. We do the best with the information available to us, and we’re only human.

As for your edit:

why you refuse to take meaningful action>

I’m not. I’m happy to ban users when it is warranted.

why you refuse to take meaningful action against racism towards Aboriginal peoples>

Can you point me towards any such content on AZ?

allow said racist to continue to operate on your platform?>

I’ve not seen any unaddressed reports for them that warrant action on my part. I’m not online 24x7 though, so often reports are addressed by other mods/admins before I see what was reported.

Looking over comments from this user, I see plenty to dislike. But I won’t ban a user because I dislike them, their opinions or necessarily how they express them.

Re-read my previous comment, I won’t be commenting further.

No. AZ isn’t run by rules lawyers, no interest in posting every single possible action that contravenes “don’t be a dick”.

Yes… no response in the sub 1 hour timeframe since you messaged me.

I consider editorialised headlines to break global rule 0 of AZ, especially when being deliberately antagonistic in attempting to provoke a fight from those with differing opinions to you. ie don’t be a dick. If you want to pick a fight, do it elsewhere.

In this case, I agree with the broad strokes of your opinion on the topic of the article you linked. Repost it with the original published title and it will stay. Add your own commentary to the post, not the headline.
