I think the problem I see most with how we're handling rule 11 is that it's a bit murky as far as what is and isn't allowed.

I'm still a big proponent for just turning it into a banned word list, but I get how that sketches some people out. I don't think the rule should be removed - I still think it's done much, much more harm than good - but I think we should better refine the rule so there's less ambiguity in how we're enforcing it.

This is also assuming that rule 11 can be removed at all without MSO's permission.

It's just an issue of enforcement I think, if the rule is less ambiguous then it loses it's teeth as people just skate around it and rule lawyer if the rule is precise.

As a new Admin, rule 11 is extremely hard to grasp and fairly enforce. While I personally don't use slurs and dislike seeing them so much, I'd rather not have to try and enforce rule 11 except in the most egregious, absolutely biggoted case.
Why ? Because as it stands, the rule is too vague and up for interpretation. A lot of rule 11 notes / bans (wether deserved or not) get appealed because of it.
I would really appreciate a rewording to give more clear cut cases where it can be enforced.
