What’s up with the mods nowadays

The amount of racist posts and content on this forum has been going up because bottombuckethardo never stops creating new accounts and it makes WSO toxic to read. @WallStreetOasis" @AndyLouis" I hope you realize a good portion of your members are minorities and it’s disheartening to see such an individual trash other ethnicities on the daily while WSO does nothing about it.

You can't say they do nothing. They ban him but then he keeps making alts. I have heard of other websites using IP bans in extreme cases, but am unsure if WSO has that capability.

Wait you are complaining about a hyper minority of posts and making it indicitive of the entire community.  Gee that sounds very familiar of something else..... what could that be?  Oh wait racism comes to mind...... 

 

If you see it, flag it. Community moderation is very much alive and well on WSO. And WSO spells it out in their ToS and CG they can and will yoink access to bad actors for "any reason, or no reason at all" if it got to that point.

Can they not ban an IP address? Totally agree - longtime user here and the OT forum is just ridiculous lately. Random banter is to be expected but the mods can't keep on top of the sheer number of racist or just completely offensive shit that gets put on here. Bad look if a new user stumbles across.

Even IP bans aren't all that reliable. I've heard the system (server blocks) itself is difficult and costly to maintain.

I'd just go with report and ignore. The only way to counter the racist garbage is by focusing on the good content. We need to understand that racists are here because of the mass crackdown from mainstream social media websites. They have nowhere to go. Just don't make them feel significant.

 

They should make phone number verification with a physical, (not virtual) phone number required.  That would put a stop to this nonsense.

Stop paying attention to the trolls and making posts like this. It just keeps fueling them because you literally give them the exact reaction they're trying to elicit. Grow a thicker skin, just MS the post and move the fuck on. If it's literally one guy doing this then claiming that the content of the forum is sliding makes you look like the idiot. Just stop looking at his posts. YOU CAN CLICK OTHER THINGS. 

You rice paper skin whiners are becoming more annoying than the actual trolls sometimes with how much you feel the need to announce "we need more moderation, my feewings got hurt cuz mean man said mean thing." Nobody gives a shit. Did you not learn in elementary school that people often dislike the complainers even more than the people who are worth complaining about? This is a forum for adults, if you're going to seriously lose sleep over what someone on the internet said let me call 911 for you.

Actually, I'm pretty sure a tiny proportion of WSO are made up of minorities, since most of them are not intelligent nor hardworking enough to work in high finance (with the exception of South and East Asians). There may be a large number of delusional Africxn/Latinx prospects on here jerking off to the idea of becoming an "investment banker on Wall Street", despite the fact that the WASPy powers that be in the ivory towers of PE or C-Suite would be horrified at such a thought.
