We don’t allow recreational complaining about the moderation of the board, no. I notice you linked to the Pit, where complaining about moderating and the rules isn’t allowed, so I think you take my meaning. We don’t allow people to post here just so they can complain about the board.

At no time have we said we cannot moderate racist speech. We _do_ moderate racist speech.
