Bottom post of the previous page:
Currently rule 11 specifically covers "race, sex, gender, orientation or the like", this thread is focusing on the "or the like" section and is seeking one of two resolutions, either adding disability status to the list of covered things, or stating that it is covered by the "or the like" part of the rule if it is considered to be part of this rule.This thread shouldn't need to much of an explanation but in short, I believe that bigotry directed at people based on physical or learning disability status, mental health conditions and people with protected impairments is already rule breaking and would like to see the general community consensus on this, get an official headmin stance and ideally get it put in writing. I think that bigotry focusing on disabilities is just as damaging as the other types of bigotry already specified in the rule and we should seek to eject its expression from the community as we do with the other types. Doing this would require wider consensus then a few admins personally considering it rule breaking and hence why I think this thread will be beneficial, as a ruling from headmins will allow more consistency between admin rulings on the topic.
I also want to bring a quick mention to soft filters. Last term a selection of slurs were added to the soft filter, I think that should headmins include disability status within the rule then the word list should be further expanded to include slurs focusing on people with disabilities.
TLDR Version: I'd like to see rule 11 expanded to include bigotry thats based on disability status as well as see commonplace disability slurs added to the word filter.
