Bhakunde,
Yes in an ideal world rules should apply evenly to everyone but unfortunately it never happens. If sajha was a big organization with numerous people working for it, then it would be possible to monitor every post and ensure same rules for everyone. Unfortunately the reality is that this is one person managed site and one person is not able to ensure that every posting is given equal monitoring. Maybe if i was able to work full time on it, I would be able to monitor more closely but unfortunately it does not pay the bills so I have to leave it as a hobby and hence I have designed few tools such as downvoting, notify admin etc to automate some of the monitoring. If I do get a chance to see some thing go against the sajha policy of tolerance then I have to do something about it.
In the case in hand, the user who has been a great contributor in sajha, posted an aggressively intolerant statement which I took the liberty to remove because using the N word for people of black origin is considered inappropriate and similarly using the F word for people of gay interests is not appropriate when you write to condemn someone with hatred. My action was more for the hatred against a group of people than for the person it was being written against.
As I have said, it's not possible to monitor every post - for lets accept it, it's a free forum, the users don't have to pay anything and you can't expect everything to be monitored 24/7 to uphold the rules equally for every posting that gets made here. The monitoring is done by the combined voting power of the sajha community, but every so often if some posts are seen to be outright demeaning or intolerant of anyones personal choices then steps will be taken as possible and as sighted.
Voipman, I appreciate your enthusiasm in participating in these sajha forums. Your presence adds a nice character to the mix of ideas in here. However please do be aware that people do expect some form of credibility and responsibility in your postings. Wish you all the best!
