I was astonished to get 2 different emails saying that our Registration page that must be completed to gain access to the site is racist. I replied to both people but they never answered my reply.
Checking on the stats for the past month I can see that just over 1,000 people exited the site on the reg. page. That astonished me (again)!
It’s been some time since I have looked at the Registration page so I revisited to see if I had missed something. I don’t believe I have and that to accuse us of racism is political correctness gone mad.
We have 2 mandatory questions to start with: Gender – male, female, transsexual; Age Group (choice of 10 groups)
The Country I live in; email; Screen Name. So far so bland.
It’s what follows that I think causes the problem. Ethnicity (choice of 8) Religion (choice of 12 including other). Why these should cause offence I have no idea.
This is not a dating site but you do have the opportunity to make contact with people, on the site. They have the choice to refuse. Once logged in, there is an extensive question and answer page about yourself that you are under no obligation to complete. It’s reasonable enough to decide about the kind of person you wish to contact. A religious person may not want to contact an atheist and so on.
This is as easy a site to leave that I have come across and I think to call us racist is totally untrue.
