Hey so I checked in with a few other mods and we agree that mong/mongoloid is definitely a slur, especially when used to insult another person's mental capabilities.
I cannot overlook the fact that you've used it not just once but in several report comments which shows clear intent to insult someone.
Please stop using slurs. Sustained appeals cannot be re-appealed.

HOW DOES IT TAKE THIS LONG TO OT AN OBVIOUS NO VIOLATION?
WHAT ARE YOU MONKEYS DOING IN MOD CHAT?
ARE YOU ACTUALLY HAVING THE CONVERSATION OF WHETHER OR NOT 'MONG' IS AN HC?
IS ETHEREAL ACTUALLY BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY?
U REALIZE THIS PERSON IS INSANE RIGHT?
HE ACTUALLY GOT AWAY WITH BEING A PEDOPHILE BY SAYING HE WAS TROLLING
GET REAL

'So there, I pointed out the slur.'
UR AN ACTUAL MORON AND A BAFFOON AND U NEED TO SELF DELETE IMMEDIATELY
The problem revolves around the word mong. In the UK (and Canada too, apparently), it's a schoolyard bully's slang term for someone who has Down's syndrome.
THESE MODS ACTUALLY GOT TOGETHER
IN ONE CHAT ROOM
AND HAD A LEGITIMATE DISCUSSION ON THIS
AND DECIDED THAT 'MONG' IS WORTHY OF A VIOLATION
AND THEY AREN'T EVEN JOKINGA
