A small but important addition to our site rules page

[Antvasima]

Hello.

I and AKM would like to make a minor but significant change to our Site Rules page.

This:

"Refrain from spamming, trolling, threatening, using derogatory comments of any form (ethnic, homophobic, belittling the disabled or mentally ill, etcetera), and rude, vulgar, sexist, etcetera offensive language."

Should be changed to something like this:

"Refrain from spamming, trolling, threatening, using derogatory comments of any form (ethnic, homophobic, belittling the disabled or mentally ill, etcetera), and rude, vulgar, sexist, etcetera offensive language. To further clarify, we do not tolerate any form of bigotry in any direction whatsoever."

I think that it is important to underline that we do not tolerate extreme misandrism any more than we tolerate extreme misogynism, and that the same goes for Christophobia, antisemitism, Islamophobia, anti-Hinduism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and all forms of racism and supremacism, etcetera. Basically that the rules are the same for everybody in this regard.

Would this be acceptable for the rest of you?


NOTE: STAFF ONLY

This seems important enough for your notice.

 

[Moritzva]

This seems reasonable and minor. No reason not to add it.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you for the support.

 

[Damage3245]

Seems straightforward and fair to add.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

I agree with this 100%

 

[Confluctor]

I think this part can be changed a little

To further clarify, we do not tolerate any outright bigotry in any direction whatsoever

To further clarify, we do not torelate any form of bigory in any direction whatsoever.

I think removing the "outright" part would be better imho. This word can be misunderstood by some or some people might twist it a little for their own benefit. Like making a racist joke, that might not seem racist on the surface but holds a racist connotation. Of course, if the person doesn't know and did it by accident, it can be forgiven, but if someone does it while knowing full well what it means, then ig they should be warned or banned. (Depending on how severe it is)

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. That seems reasonable. I made the change.

 

[Psychomaster35]

This is fine. I agree with this.

 

[Ogbunabali]

Sure.

 

[Tllmbrg]

Sure this works

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you. I have to go back to my wiki patrolling work now, but will return here when I wake up tomorrow.

 

[Migue79]

Checks out.

 

[CloverDragon03]

Agree

 

[Nehz_XZX]

I'm fine with that sort of change.

 

[UchihaSlayer96]

This definitely looks reasonable. I agree.

 

[AKM sama]

As we already discussed, this is a fine (and minor) addition.

 

[DontTalkDT]

Sure, I guess.

 

[KingTempest]

Looks good

 

[Duedate8898]

I support this

 

[Dark-Carioca]

Nah.



I kid, of course I agree with this

 

[SamanPatou]

Sure, it's a useful addition.

 

[KLOL506]

Looks great.

 

[Abstractions]

I'm fine with this addition.

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

Yes, this is fine

 

[QuasiYuri]

It basically sum up the previous sentence, so looks good.

 

[Elizhaa]

The change seems fine.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you for the replies. I will add this then.

 

[Eficiente]

Tiny details like this matter a lot, I agree.

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

It is best to clarify those things, yes.

 

[Jasonsith]

"Refrain from spamming, trolling, threatening, using derogatory comments of any form (ethnic, homophobic, belittling the disabled or mentally ill, etcetera), and rude, vulgar, sexist, etcetera offensive language. To further clarify, we do not tolerate any form of bigotry in any direction whatsoever."

May I ask: is this rule amended on any demand?
I would like to see if anyone can further fine tune / clarify it to make sure this addition of rules will not be abused. Or this sentence is clear enough to avoid any abuse in any direction. Keyword: any direction - which I personally am fine with. Or the abusive / ambiguous nature is exactly what we want.

I must appreciate the staff members here for making here a better place to discuss things though.

 

[GyroNutz]

Seems fine

 

[MistaClean]

Sure.

 

[Crabwhale]

Disagree, worst rule. Should be removed entirely.

The addition is fine.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

I do think potentially banning people for jokes even acknowledging them to be jokes seems a bit odd, but the spirit of the rule is sound.

 

[Starter_Pack]

I agree wholeheartedly.

 

[AbaddonTheDisappointment]

I agree with the addition dunno why I'm saying this if its already applied but yeah lol

 

[Celestial_Pegasus]

This is fine.

 

[MonkeyOfLife]

Monkey agrees

something simple can be something complex or impactful

 

[Planck69]

Might be late but yeah, I agree with the clarification.
