I do not want to make a rant for it to be exploited, but I just logged in after a long weekend and I am disgusted.
People are making rants over other people's looks now? I applaud the moderator for taking action against this because the thread I saw was very cruel and the OP should be downright ashamed of himself.
I ask now, WHEN DOES THIS MADNESS END? If this section hasn't already been exposed in the past, it has now. Threads being created with the words GAY and HIV in the title as ways to mock people, and people's looks becoming topics. HAVE SOME OF YOU EVEN GRADUATED FROM GRADESCHOOL?
I don't want this to turn into my old rant on bullying, but i'm starting to think that there are people with serious issues on here.

The Rants forum was designed for users who need to vent at anything he or she wants to vent at or towards. You are allowed to make a "rant" about a poster or staff member but it can still be moderated by an administrator. Do be careful. Blatant abusing of staff will not be allowed. "Ranting" and "abusing" are two totally different situations. It is up to you to know when to draw the line. Some staff will tolerate it, some will not. Certain amount of respect should be shown to all staff members. If the post is completely useless and an administrator feels it is no good, he can lock the thread. Even though it is not heavily moderated compared to other sections, it is mildly moderated, and thus you should not make racial comments. Remember, being a racist can result in a ban. If you make a joke and other members do not take offense towards the joke, that is acceptable, but just remember not everyone is expected to know when you "joke." So:
You can insult any member you want
You should not bring up race
You should not insult someone's family member if he or she is not a registered user (insulting someone you don't know is a bad idea -- he or she could be sick, dying, or even dead)
You may insult nationality (to a certain degree -- i.e. don't bring up 9/11 to insult the U.S., etc.)
You may not insult sexuality
You may insult religion (to a certain degree -- i.e. don't stereotype about a religion such as Muslims)
You may not tell someone to go "kill themselves".
All debates or threads which could end up "heated" should be placed in Rants
Context is key. Half of the time, these people are kidding.

Do you think it's right for someone to go fetch people's personal information and post them here to mock them? If there ever was a time to rant on something, this would be it.
