To JodyR, the administrators, and other concerned parties:

Several days ago, I have reported numerous people on the System Wars forum for making ignorant and anti-Islamic comments due to the controversy over Quranic lyrics found in LittleBigPlanet. Everytime there is a thread on sales charts in Japan, I report every post that makes culturally-ignorant or outright racist comments on the Japanese, such as the common "the Japanese have bad tastes in gaming" or the ignorant claim that the Japanese are xenophobic. Lastly, I have to report some posters who made outright sexist remarks towards a female game reviewer who gave a surprisingly positive score to Wii Music.

Even though people are moderated by point loss or suspensions, it seem some do not get it that racist, sexist, and anti-religious comments are against the TOS. May I suggest a zero tolerance on these abuses and impose an automatic seven-day suspension, the same zero tolerance towards flaming in System Wars?

Weird... Usually the mods are right on those cases. I was once moderated for telling someone that offending the Jewish religion isn't a good idea...

You have no moderation of the sort...And what does that have to do with the enhancement at all?

It was on my old account, and I understand why I received it; I just found it exemplified the fact that mods usually cater to these remarks quickly, from what I remember.

In other words... Isn't there already zero tolerance for such comments?

Zero tolerance is sort of a tricky thing, because sometimes it's hard to say if a comment had malicious intent, and if they go about giving really harsh punishments when people say something that they didn't mean to be intended as racist/etc., that might not be good for the site. It's hard to say.
