this isnt a complaint and it is epicmafia related (words we can and can't use ingame)
seeing as though i just got perma banned for using the phrase "mentally challenged" as an insult, can you mods create an official list of words/phrases that are HC?
also mods should not be allowed to self-moderate HC reports anymore because that's stupid. if one mod is offended by something they just auto-HC it when it's not even HC
should mods be allowed to self-moderate HC reports?
i just don't get why u guys are taking this moral highground, you're right in the sense that he meant to call xy and z rtarded, you're wrong in the sense that he knowingly broke the rule which is why solace ot'ing the vio was fine (harassment wasn't fine but it was half justice something I as an internet lawyer could call a win)

As a National Socialist I am deeply offended by the slur , pls protect me mods.
Oh wow they really do believe in this, but not one of these cowards will post this in the rules.
2) So what you're saying is that if a user changes their behavior to comply with the rule, it's not enough since EM users are required to reform into the PC state you're enforcing?
I don't think cutting someone down by comparing them to the mentally handicapped is quite on the same level as calling someone a na.zi, I was just sharing some nostalgia for that time vilden went through 3 days of sandbox wall lobby comments to find this.
if vilden is unbanned then it was less than a week lol, i bet it would be less than 2 weeks with sachy and he now has a week left to become a mod and then sachy will win her prediction too

Ok so real talk, wasn't the whole reason the filter was implemented was because a pedophile got adminned or modded and riotkiller(??) reported it to google? So Lucid trying to get back in googles good graces made the filter, i really dont think its something that should be so strict that we can't post a pic/link from twitter because it contains naughty words.
This is the core misunderstanding with the rule modification. Several clarifications: 1) An insult is not what is considered HC-- what is considered HC is when a user replaces a slur with a phrase that they *reasonably* expect another user to interpret as the slur. Clearly if you call someone an idiot, there's not a reasonable expectation that will be interpreted as a slur, whereas calling someone mentally handicapped or challenged has the explicit connotation. 2) To add more nuance, a user's history of HC and perceived intent is taken into account. In this specific case, vilden was just viod for using the r word (and had a previous HC vio and another note for HC) and then came back and used a synonymous phrase. His intent was clearly to convey the same hateful speech as the slur. The rule is contextual.
