I get what you are trying to do with it, but I disagree entirely with the enforcement. All it does is lead to increasingly pol level memery. Banning specific ways of talk will just create coded talk, like the ((())) itself.
So unless you commit to banning it entirely as a topic all you do is push them further into zealotry by feeding a persecution complex, "shut it down the goyim know!" and force them to speak in such riddles they can only engage with others like them and then feed off each other in a personal echo chamber.
The rest of us cannot even have a normal discussion now, because we aren't versed enough in skirting the rules to engage with them and if we try it ourselves we end up breaking the rules. So in essence, its censorship with extra steps. Worse yet, it just drives people like most of us in KIA2 (anti-authority, pro-freedom esque) into their arms out of rebellion.
But you know all this.
One thing I do think the KIAPrime mods do right in this case, is rather than auto-delete things, most of the time they just say "hey cool it and have some decorum if you are gonna be on this topic." Which can go a long way in compromising freedom vs decency.
In that vein, I think there is a reasonable line that can be drawn between "just delete anything that says something too extreme" and "letting the place get owned by Stormfront." In the barely enforced wild west time this place has been in, its not become any of those hellholes you've described. We have one of these woman hate threads daily from him and its still mostly reasonable discussion anyway with some hateful energy off a few.
