OK, I'm no message board nazi, but when I see a post that's offensive to an ethnic group, I reach for the Report Post button...except there isn't one?!? How are these boards getting moderaed, anyhow?
Can some moderator (assuming there is someone) please fix:
http://paizo.com/dungeon/messageboards/ageOfWorms/okayYourAt23YourNowAt34No DiehardDoesnTHelpYouNow
Just to be clear, it's the post from "M. Fatman"
And since we're at it, are you really going to allow someone to go around calling himself "M. Fatman"?

Agreed. You couldnt be more right.
I Replied to this character and this is what i said:
I'm the last guy to enforce some kind of censorship but i must draw the line somewhere...lets keep in mind that there are younglings on this site daily and i dont believe that neither your screen name nor the inappropriate talk should be found here. Now if you want to found a site for players 18 and older...then i have your back. Just not on this site. Please change your screen name and go a little easier on your language. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. Game on!

p.s. Everyone who agrees, please contact our fine PAIZO staff. I am sure that if they were aware that they would have taken care of it--most likley taking care of it as we speak.
p.p.s. Qualidar has a great suggestion. Please consider his suggestion for a Report Post button.
Game on everyone!

Well, to tell the truth this may be the first time (in nearly 60,000 messageboard posts) that we've really even needed a "flag this post" feature.
For now, if you see offensive content on our messageboards, please send an email to webmaster@paizo.com, and we'll take care of it as quickly as we can. (Some things have to wait until we get back into the office, but there is a bit of cleanup we can do from home.)
I've done a bit more cleanup on the thread in question, and changed the Fatman's avatar name to "M. Fatman".

I've also added an entry to the messageboards FAQ. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
Wow, that's really amazing that only 1 in 60,000 posts on the Paizo messageboards needs censoring or intervention from the webmaster. I guess we're lucky to have such a respectful (or at least mature) community here.
