so why don’t you tell us what is and isn’t acceptable here?
I got a better idea: If you're going to try to retcon this issue into a story about ambiguous racism definitions resulting in innocent people being banned, why don't you show me so much as one example of this happening prior to me making that first "no racism" post?
I'll tell you why nobody's provided a single example of this - because it's never happened. We've never had one complaint about users being wrongly punished due to ambiguous definitions of racism. You know why? Because we (going back to metacanada) have always just quietly removed borderline posts without saying anything and without banning or suspending the users.
So don't try and rewrite history by concocting some bullshit narrative about ambiguous racism definitions. You people never voiced a single concern about that until I said "no racism" in a stickied post, and then you all flipped out. The "But how do you define racism?" rationale is just the best thing you guys could think of to justify having a letdown over being told "no racism". Don't bullshit a bullshitter.
Then why didn’t you continue to quietly remove racist post instead of causing turmoil?
Because that's only an effective strategy when the edgelords are a small minority. right now, they're basically the entire userbase, and the racism always gets overwhelmingly upvoted. That requires a more drastic reset.
Why do that to the user base?
Do what? Say "no racism" to them? Anyone who's going to be offended by that needs to be shown the door. That's why I said it.
I’m having a hard time understanding what your end goal is here.
To clear out the 1488ers. I thought that much would be obvious by now.
First you bait people into saying racist things
Wait, what? I "bait" people into saying racist things? How, by saying "No racism"?
Anyone who's "baited" into saying something racist in reply to that is a piece of shit and needs to be shown the door. Imagine trying to make me the culpable one in that equation. Holy fuck.
which we all took as the modern liberal definition of racism
Because you're acting in bad faith and want to assume the worst so you can play the victim all the time. That's on you.
and then you start complaining and banning people when everyone gets confused and angry at you.
Again, bullhsit. This was a bunch of racists getting mad at me saying "no racism", and me showing them the door as a result. If anyone was genuinely confused, they could have just asked politely. Instead they all threw temper tantrums. And it's no secret what kind of people throw temper tantrums when you say "No racism".

And I'm the one in charge of moderating this site.
I'm not running a site for 1488ers here. I don't care how peaceful they are with each other. They need to fuck off.
