Disclaimer: Sorry if this poll is made incorrectly or if it is in the wrong thread. I am new to making polls, so hopefully this thread doesn't make anyone want to pull their eyes out. Also sorry if this is already a topic thats been discussed or already in action. This thread is also sort of a petition and a debate, please keep to the topic.

Should racist/homophobic comments towards a staff member be a immediate banable/mutable/kickable offense?

Note: In this thread we are only focusing on racist/homophobic comments aimed to staff members not regular members. I know thats a bit off but i mostly see staff members getting harassed with these racist/homophobic comments

I made this a poll because I wanted it to be a petition so maybe if we get enough yeses then the higher ups will take it into action.

So I'm asking everyone here, Should racist/homophobic comments be an immediate banable/kickable/mutable offense?

Edit: Changed it to racist and homophobic comments to staff members

Discuss!

🥹 Now I'm kinda feeling bad about making this thread, I didn't know it was already being taken into action.

I will use general chat for an example, last time I was in there someone was being racist to a mod, and the mod told them to stop like 3 times before they took any action, so why not take immediate action without giving all of those chances?

HI Tiago! I get how you feel, Not sure which mod you meant, but they do have thick skin, and my mods know that a trigger finger often makes things worse, and the site values mods who can think case by case.

But we basically do what your poll asks, only in reverse order.

Repeat racism or bona fide phobias, (hate speech) are banned for that. Ive had mods tell me (selflessly) they can take the hate/flak as its directed at them and not the ********.

Thanks for your suggestion, its an important topic no need to feel bad 🙂
 
If racist/homophobic comments towards staff is a bannable offence then same would apply to mods who do it to users. Because rules work both ways.

Since this pertains to racist/homophobic remarks only, if I were the admin, first kick would be for half an hour. After a warning. Second chance and you mention a racist comment, you’re out.
