Just noticing ALOT of borderline racist, xenophobic remarks by established accounts completely going unchecked for seemingly years, lol. Is this just the norm here?

We do remove troll comments all day everyday, but we are a small team, so we also rely on the community helping us out.
If you see something questionable feel free to Mod Alert and we will take a peek.
Thanks.

There are some people on here who think they are comedians and that SD is their personal FB page with their sarcastic and idiotic comments on a daily basis.

What missiethegal said is true about using the mod alert button for these stupid comments. Unfortunately, that only solves the problem for that one post by removing it, but the user is still here to make another trolling post tomorrow.

I have found the best way to solve this constant problem is by adding that person to your IGNORE LIST. Just left click on that persons name in their post and a little menu will appear. Just click on the bottom option which is to add them to your ignore list.
Your problem is now solved permanently. Peace Welcome to the world of SD.

Yes! The Ignore List is a great option and thanks for mentioning it njbob49
We do work relentless trolls through our system and off our site, but it is a process that takes time.

OP should definitely contact our official Courtesy Commissioner Mr. Snake Plisken. Mr. Plisken is well-known for his extensive knowledge of the entire SlickDeals.net website, his familiarity with the SD Moderators, and especially for his most gracious and speedy desire to resolve issues quickly.

If people don't stop changing their usernames, I'm going to file a formal complaint.

It's a result of the media baiting you into thinking that slights/jokes about your people are the worst things that can happen on Earth. Turn off the TV/media and think for yourself. I don't have to like you and there will never be a law that says I have to. You could get me fired from my job except I'm retired.

I recently changed my username, complain away.

It was DeltaMajor156 btw if you think I'm hiding or something.
