Thought this should deserve a separate dedicated thread
@void how much free speech are you willing to permit regarding the use of profanity and racial slurs outside of clear racism?
On 4chan we usually got to go wild even outside of /pol/ and when you went full hitler you usually got a warning before a ban.
Obviously letting your site turning into stormfront 2.0 like 4chan isn't smart, it drives users away and destroys discussions.
Yet at the same time completely sterilizing everything defeats the purpose of anonymous posting here I think.
Also "tripfags" like myself should be held to higher scrutiny though since we can act as ambassadors for umigalaxy, right?
I'm asking because of the 4chan mod grapeape macking a mockery of 4chan just by posting the dumbest stuff on twitter lol.
Like I wonder if you should make different, more strict rules for registered users and relax them a bit for anonymous ones.
I'd be cool with that tbh. But if I made questionable statement (as anonymous while logged in) could the less strict rules apply?

Not urgent for the moment but I realized that long term this could get you in legal trouble and/or cause users to leave.
