This means rather than warning or banning for quoting a usage such as "Griff McNazi got banned for calling somebody a faggot" or even things like "nigga pls" and "what are you faggots playing" which are generally not statements made to be bigoted, we'll focus more on statements like "you talk like a [insert stereotype]" or "x is a [insert slur]".
The following precedents are also being added for Rule 11
- This rule applies to ALL OOC bigotry, even when expressed in IC. There is no racism in 2561, just species-ism: there is no homophobia, just xenophiliaphobia, etc.
- Admins are encouraged to use rule 1 to deal with instances where """IC""" bigotry is excessive or designed as a mask for ooc bigotry.
- Context is important, but somebody being an out and proud bigot, nazi, or white supremacist also counts as context. Somebody who makes it known they are bigoted towards PoCs playing a PoC character that starts checking stereotype boxes isn't going to fool us.
For long there was a concern within the community about rule 11 not being clear enough, I'm glad your first change during your first term as headmins tackles such an important subject, following the Host's original intention behind it, and without adding any needless complexity.
It's concise and it doesn't get clearer than this. Cheers.
I think it would be better if the precedent used plain English instead of PC acronyms like "PoC","BIPOC", "BAME" or whatever college administrators are calling non-white people these days.

Imagine my grandparents surviving nazi concentration camps only for their grandson to be accused of nazism for criticizing a citrus fruit on the internet.

poc and bipoc are people of color, and black, indigenous, people of color
Personally could not care less about that part of the rule, it think its a god send as is
I know, definition is a google search away, but I think it could potentially be used as a "I thought x meant y and not z" card, cause headaches and pointless arguing in the future.

There is a lot of very bizarre nonsense being talked on this forum. I shall now remain silent and logoff until my points are vindicated.

Hey there, I'm Virescent, the super evil person who made the stupid appeal and didn't think it through enough. Just came here to say: screech, retards. Screech and writhe like the worms you are. Your pathetic little cries will keep echoing around for a while before quietting down. There is one great outcome from this: I rised up the blood pressure of some of you shitheads and lowered your lifespan. I'm honestly tempted to do this more often just to see you screech and writhe more, but that wouldn't be cool of me. So come on haters, show me some more of your high blood pressure please.
