About racial slurs

Im ok with being called a 'Taff' and like wise I have no problem in saying 'I'm just popping around The Paki's'. If that is deemed as racist please tell me so I dont repeat it within a thread.

Since calling someone Muslim is allowed I assume its okay to call someone Jew?

Jew is not a racial slur. Of course, calling someone a Jew who isn't a Jew, attempting to apply negative connotations of the word is not a very good idea.

Same with Muslim.

...Just a question:
Is this thread some kind of finality to this?
It seems like it wasn't resolved very well over there...

...What I meant was basically ATG created a poll, to see what the community wanted, didn't like the results, and decided to do his own thing.
I was wondering if this was an "official" ruling by the moderating staff...

The official ruling is don't break the rules. Remember, if you have to ask yourself if it is ok to post, it probably isn't. I think ATG created that poll to see what the community felt, not what they wanted. I don't tolerate racism (because I'm intolerant, get it), so don't post it. Everyone has a different idea of what constitutes racism, so use your best judgement.

Ergo Ban?

So, what constitutes racism? I think if it's a banable offense, there needs to be a clear line drawn what is acceptable, what is not.
Ok, not a clear line, but a line nonetheless. You get my point.

I get your point, but you also have to understand that Chuy gives a lot of leeway to the site staff on enforcing the rules, and the moderators all have different ways of dealing with it. I even deal with things differently from day to day, user to user.

The best advice I can give is that if you think something you are about to post is remotely racist, don't post it. If something offends you, report it. The mods will deal with it using their best judgement.
