I feel like someone with LL's history earned a "hey I get you're making fun of this poo poo but could you edit that out" and going straight to probe is silly

I understand where LL is coming from in their posts, if you look at their post history there’s a lot of pointing out racist, bigoted wrestlers and such which I agree with, but I feel at some point if it’s making you this angry and worked up maybe a break is order

I think we can all be like, yeah maybe I need chill and look at my perspective about posting on the internet

I understand not wanting to delete the reasons for probating someone and getting complaints from other users, but I think editing out hatespeech slurs is better than leaving them if it's in a context where that person was moderated for using them.

Nah if someone actually said that or whispered it to "help" everyone know what hate speech is then they would get booted in the rear end a little and deserve it

I also like to prove that I hate slurs by using a half dozen of them for no reason.

e: The zero tolerance policy got put in place because of Racist Guiding Light and a few other posters who wouldn't stop with 'ironic' racism. It quickly became very well established as a rule. It also had its intended consequence of ending the 'ironic' racism! Most of the people posting in this thread were here when that happened, and the only people I recall objecting are the ones who still pine for Racist Guiding Light to come back and show everyone the way.

my favorite part of the post is how LL had absolutely no reason to actually type out those words, even to put them under a spoiler tag, and had many many many reasons not to type out those words.

In fact, LL in the same post said that NOT being allowed to post those without punishment was a reason why SA was cool and good.
