If a rule put in place by the mods is only abused to try and get people banned/punished that they dislike then the rule is not very good and should be removed completely.
Harassment covers it's own clause and if someone wants to say any words not covered by the censor outside of games then the post should just be removed or then punished if they continue, but moderating HC in games is ridiculous and epicmafia shouldn't be a battleground where mods act as a shield for someone who feels offended about someone using a slur.
you have instances like the report i linked and the example given in this very paragraph where the issue arises. it's honestly ridiculous that 3 offenses of using predetermined slurs can get you the same type of ban that notorious users like ABC who spam on the forums. you can't really make people play nice or even really want to follow your rules and trying to force that where people who are either 1) unaware of the rule 2) don't hold the same social views as you are being banned or violated left and right is not the answer
I am only a Level 1 mod so i cannot handle HC reports yet

The Honorable Hal Rogers Chairmari Committee on Appropriations U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear Chairman Rogers: On July 9, 2015, the Homeland Security Subcommittee considered the fiscal year (FY) 2016 Homeland Security Appropriations bill. The Administration supports investments in critical homeland security research and development. However, we have a number of serious concerns about this legislation, which would underfund important investments and includes highly problematic ideological riders. In advance of Full Committee consideration of the Subcommittee bill, I would like to take this opportunity to share some of these concerns with you. The Homeland Security Appropriations bill is the twelfth appropriations bill being considered under the congressional Republicans' 2016 budget framework, which would lock in sequestration funding levels for FY 2016. Sequestration was never intended to take effect: rather, it was supposed to threaten such drastic cuts to both defense and non-defense funding that policymakers would be motivated to come to the table and reduce the deficit through smart, balanced reforms. The Republicans' 2016 budget framework would bring base discretionary funding for both non-defense and defense to the lowest levels in a decade, adjusted for inflation. Compared to the President's Budget, the cuts would result in tens of thousands of the Nation's most vulnerable children losing access to Head Start, millions fewer workers receiving job

By the way, this was a spite report. I wasn't offended in the slightest, and I reported him for using a slur just because I don't like him, just like almost every user who has ever reported another user for hateful comments
