A "this person is racist" button
so instead of establishing the fact somewhat nebulously in big, boring threads on the main and talk boards we can just click a little button, everyone can vote, and then we can just cart ourselves over to /racists and see who is and isn't a racist on b3ta.

Convicted racists can appeal on that board and others can vote to remove them from the list.

We can also have a very simple "ignore racists" button in our profile to save ourselves the mental anguish of having to wonder how such unbelievably racist people ever got on the internet.

The racists who can not successfully appeal will also be sent occasional e-mail alerts requesting that they visit racism counciling websites and watch important films like Crash, Schindler's List, and Get On The Bus.

We've already tried berating these senseless, intolerant people with our words now it is time for bolder action. We can stop racism on the internet if we want to.

We must take this action and build our strength for this struggle and the next - against mygonistic pornography on the internet, against the corruption of minors on the internet, and so on. This is where it starts. With this website. With our will for a better world.

Thank you.

I'd agree with you.
But I don't know if you're black.

what about an 'asian' or 'funny colour' button? Could even have a sheep sign for the welsh.

Good idea. Let's trust other b3ta users to be the bastions of good taste.
