Got an archive? Twitter says it’s from a banned user.

Can you DM me some of them? I’m a lurker, yeah, but I support piracy.

Do you think that all of those would be actionable? In most people’s minds, nigger and faggot are more extreme than something like moon cricket or polesmoker. It’d be strange if enforcement of obscure slurs was more consistent than the common, original-strength slurs people actually care about.

Regarding the existence of new slurs, where do euphemisms fit in? Stuff like joggers, boat people, New Germans, basketball Americans, and so on. It’s not a slur just because it refers to someone by a “protected” characteristic, nor is it necessarily spoken in hate. And even if it were, we’re allowed to say bad things about minority groups.

Why do you have to manage it? It’s a short list, and it shouldn’t change. You’ve already established that faggot, nigger, and retard are not actionable; how long can it be?

What constitutes a slur? Why don’t you make that list for transparency’s sake?

Slur list, Dom. C’mon, just type it out and get it over with.

Are we ever going to get that complete list of actionable slurs?

It’s been three years since the initial rules were posted, and they haven’t even been edited based on feedback. A bunch of them could just be lumped together as “no porn” and it’d be both easier to read and less stupid.

I’m still waiting on that comprehensive list of prohibited slurs, by the way.
