Stupid SimMasters...@sims2.com..Grrr!
SlayerAngel90:
I think Encyclopedia Dramatica should have an entry on the Sims 2 BBS.
snowman:
This is a better site. All Sim2.com is good for is checking the news of upcoming expansion packs. I wouldn't bother with the rest. Hostility is something I try to avoid, so I keep my mouth shut and don't voice anything on anything on their boards.

I find bbs people are a little too young. Its really outrageous what they have done, I'm sure EA would really not want to be associated with racism. Don't let them off with this. I'm always surprised about racism , I'm in Newfoundland and was never exposed to it until I went to america, I was shocked. I really hate racism. Why does everything have to be this person cant do this or say this because they are of *blank* color, why? That person shouldnt say things like that not because shes *blank* but because shes human, we're all human and should have humanity for our fellow humans. We have to stop seeing color and realise its just that, a color. We all bleed the same. Sorry for the rant.

I've never posted on the Sims 2 BBS (and I never will - I prefer a civilized, at least somewhat intelligent atmosphere). However, my friend, who is a Catholic African American, has encountered a lot of racism and discrimination, from the general members and Maxis employees alike. She's also been banned twice just for defending herself, her heritage & her beliefs. It's pretty sad, but you've just got to ignore the misinformed, ignorant, brainwashed idiots there.
Anyhoo, we've both learned to stay away from that place.

After reading through this thread, I have to say I'm simply appalled at what people have gone through on the Sims 2 BBS. I'm glad I'm not active over there! My heart heart goes out to latinlovr and PegasusDiana, and anyone else who's suffered injustice over there. I'm not sure what would be the best way to handle it... definitely staying away from the BBS and its twisted community and policies would be a good idea - no-brainer there! Other than that, going to the press might not be a bad idea, since racism and discrimination in general are such volitle subjects in America. So much of the population is in total denial that it still exists, while the reality is that it continues to run rampant. EA is a major company, and I don't know if blowing the whistle on them in the media would work... though it would be nice if they were forced to issue a massive apology to cover their arses.
