The mod team has banned leshwanda for racism which is not a bannable offense nor is it even accurate to claim they are racist for acting black. If you are not allowed to act black on this site it's actually pretty racist of the site. 


This ban is inappropriate and it's absurd. On top of the account not breaking any rules in the new COC. It's the one account that if it remained active could increase retention rate on the site. 

This was done with no community discussion and against the wishes of the community and I am requesting the unjust ban be overturned.

I am enacting my veto power as president of the site in hopes that the rule of law here will be honored a leshwanda will have her account back. 

I don't like using my veto power. I prefer to work with the mods instead of of going over their head but the veto power is being invoked. Please respect it and if you want to ban leshwanda after a veto than the community must be respected and it is to take place only after a fair trial.

I never reported Lashwnda, but I am glad they are gone, as I suspected them of being a sock puppet account, a not obvious enough parody, and their (In my view) excessive language. . . Also spam.
Were I a Mod or President, I'd support such a ban.

"Multi-accounting and any action indistinguishable from it is prohibited. Dispensation may be granted on a case-by-case basis, such as for multiple users within a single residence; but they will have certain restrictions applied (e.g., never voting on each other’s debates)."

"You may not impersonate individuals, groups, or organizations in a manner that is either intended to or likely to deceive others. Parody accounts are acceptable, so long it is clear that they are parodies and do not parody other site users."

"4. If a user spams (including overtly repetitive nonsensical posts), moderation shall:"

"5. If a user’s content includes unwarranted (or excessively toxic) systemic vulgarity and invectives, which may include off topic personal attacks and/or hate speech, moderation shall:"

That is the old of COC and while some still applied you can even see that going by that one, obvious impersonations are allowed and the chief reasons for the ban are not listed in the COC.

Yep.

Trump style authoritarianism is a constant threat.

Is there an impeachment clause written into the Dart constitution.

Perhaps we should impeach someone.

Thanks for the link,
And that's what I get for not paying attention to MEEPs.
They ought include a disclaimer on that old COC then.
. . .

It 'does say,
"We do not permit the worst forms of trolling, such as spamming, posting irrelevant or inflammatory content"
"impersonation (pretending to be someone else) are strictly prohibited on DebateArt.com"
"Moderators have the right to rename a thread or debate title if it is deemed to be offensive or inappropriate. This includes any title or thread that is harmful or offensive to a particular individual or group."

It was an obvious racist parody account. Always sounded like Cartman pretending to be a black lady.

Correct, neither of which violate any rules.

Certain user used guilt trip on moderators to make them do all this. This is why moderator should be someone who feels no guilt or remorse, someone like me.

Lashwnda was hilarious, but also an obvious troll account (somebody even pointed out that the profile pic was AI generated), and probably an alt of an existing user, so.

Leshwanda had much to contribute. Heck, I would’ve voted her for president

It is most likely the case. They are this uncomfortable with typically black vernacular it says a lot more about them than it does the black lady they banned. 

I am the president of the site and am currently making demand behind the scenes so maybe I can bring some racial justice to the site

I am not your typical white boy. 

Going as far as to assume my race?

I call foul and colorism

If Leshwanda does not come back, we're storming the capitol. 

Not for Trump but for the Dictator of Dart, may he live forever
