We need to step in here because you are continuing to pass along a lot of bad information. They where not 'approved by mods, removed, then reinstated'. The accounts had reached the threshold where the posts didn't need approval to post. They posted them, as soon as they where caught, they where removed as any racist post would be. They where only restored for a short period when KOS started throwing a fit, not because they where acceptable comments, but we wanted to show how most of the site attacked racist posts and called them out as unacceptable.

Hmm, okay, I’ll take that as an official statement on the issue and add it to the piece when I get into the office.
Smacks a little of an after-the-fact excuse, especially seeing as how many there were, but I’ll give you the column inches to have your say, fair being fair.
And now, off to work. Thanks for reading, folks, and if you have any questions, I’m happy to answer them at cparry@vancouversun.com
