Recognizing Hate Speech

[joWhatup]

It can be argued that hate speech is an OOC problem to be handled by an NS moderator in the end.

Forgive me for the awful quoting.

I don’t think anyone wishes to argue so. Rather, hate speech is something that should be dealt with outside of IC laws. We have maintained this same policy with spammers: the delegate or the Auditors are free to ban them, with no laws required. Same goes for admin banning harrassers from the forums or discord. Hate speech, like the aforementioned instances, is something purely OOC. Our law, on the other hand, deals with the IC side of things.

In summary, I do not believe a change in the law is beneficial or required - the delegate and Auditors are free to ban hate speech, as well as spammers, as they always have.
