I would like to apologize to anybody who was upset or offended by a racially insensitive post made earlier today. I am very sorry we did not catch it earlier. This user has been banned from Saluki-Insider. This ban had nothing to do with the negative subject matter they were posting. 

we will not tolerate any racially insensitive posts on the website. It is an automatic permanent ban. 

thank you and again we apologize for not catching it sooner

I didn't see their post, but it was painfully obvious (to me) if you read through 98% of their posts that their intent was simply to intentionally be negative to get a rise out of others.  If you read my posts, I have been disappointed in this season's results, I have concerns about recruiting and i voice them and i don't mind others voicing concerns either but to post NOTHING but negative crap and say the program is in the toilet, etc became almost too much to bear.  They either are the most negative person on the planet or simply a troll.  I am guessing the later.   I fully understand that is NOT why they were taken off the site, but regardless I am ecstatic.  

 

Thanks Admin team for doing what you do.

He was a mediocre poster anyway.

Lot of would-be censors on here that are glad someone they disagreed with is gone. I get the racial thing - thought that was quite out of character for Blue - and he did go off the rails a bit at the end because of his disappointment in this team, but there are a lot of posts on here I don't think much of yet I don't think the poster should be banned. (even those Murray State crazy haters! 🙂 )

Boring to have a board where everybody thinks the same.

No one is wanting to create an echo chamber…some things shouldn’t be tolerated though. There was zero need for the comment to get his/her point across.

We often disagree on things, but I look forward to the banter! Sharing/discussing differing viewpoints is what I enjoy most about this message board…even if you are wrong 😉

His attitude and posting had zero to do with the ban.  We will not tolerate any racial BS on this board. There is no warning you are just gone

Seems appropriate to me.  No room for that on here.

you seem to have missed the point here. you don't think someone making racial statements should be banned? you are nuts if you think that makes the board exciting. read the barkeep post again.  he made it pretty clear that this went well beyond making sure someone thinks like him. come on man. even a murray lover should understand that.  😀

Can I ask in which thread the offensive post is?  I missed out on the fireworks and would like to catch up, unless it's better to just leave it as is and gear up for St. Louis instead.

You seem to purposely misconstrue my posts. What part of "I get the racial thing" don't you understand. I'm the last person in the world to condone racism. And I'm not a Murray fan!!!!

I was dissing people who were happy with the ban because they didn't like the poster's criticism of the team or the coach, and I wasn't talking about Barkeep - I understand exactly why he barred Blue.

@mr_woogers I completely agree.  If he posted racist commentary, he needed to be banned.  I didn't see it, but I trust the admins on that.  

However, I didn't find anything offensive about his basketball posts.  It was actually nice to have someone more negative than you, me, SalukiWorld, BleedfknMaroon, and Thunnelvision on here!  😜
