ET remains the entertainment capital of the nternet with this Thread. Wait till @destriero chimes in!
@Yasurfer I'm one of those ruggedly handsome Aussies with a great sense of humour. I've been called everything from a "sheep shagger" to a "koala f#$ker". Don't take to heart what these Septic Tanks say, just remind them of their National Debt and the Kardashians.
With regards to the policy regarding racism, you can find it covered in the Terms of Services here: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/help/terms Like many have suggested to you, what you do is you report the post(s) that you find is(are) inappropriate and offensive and the moderators here will deal with it(them) accordingly. In the meantime, you can choose to ignore and/or block the offending member(s) so that you won't read their posts anymore nor they of yours if you have also blocked them. Trust me, ignoring and blocking are very effective against offensive members and I am speaking from experience. When you don't see their annoying posts and you stop responding to them, they eventually lose interest and they would have no choice but to stop and move on that is if they still have not been suspended or banned by the moderators by that time. With some members, the process may take longer but eventually they all stop. And the moderators here do monitor the forums very diligently. They are online every day. Bottom line is: You do NOT feed the trolls and respond to their posts. Once you do, that's when you lose because you have done exactly what the trolls wanted you to do. The trolls have made their posts offensive on purpose in order to coax a response from you. That's why they are called trolls. That is how it's dealt with on this forum here. Good luck!
I live abroad... When someone say to me (it only happened online so far) to go back to my country, I reply with: "no thanks, I am staying here to take your money and fuck your wife" Old, fat and ugly wife? I'll take the daughters as long as they are over 20.
I never promised anything, and agreed to cut down on them in trading-related discussions which do not make an obvious point, which I have. You don't have to click on them in any case, either.
I did report the post and talked to one of the bosses ... By sharing this information, my intention is to raise awareness among fellow forum members about @BuzzTrader's racist conduct. It is my hope that this public acknowledgment will encourage @BuzzTrader to reflect upon his actions and reconsider engaging in similar behavior in the future. Please remember that our forum should be a safe and welcoming space for everyone, regardless of their race or ethnicity. Let us collectively stand against racism and uphold the values of respect, understanding, and inclusivity that define our community and make some money!
