The global rules state that racism shouldn't appear outside of /b/. I often get reports, specifically from /mu/, of posts that use the word "nigger" in racist manner. These posts are obviously racist and violate the global rule, but what should I do for them? Are ban-requests the way to go? I ask this because I have been banned from a board before simply for using the word "nigger" sarcastically. Personally, ban-requests seem too harsh. I think that racist posts should only be ban-requested/deleted when the poster is clearly trolling. But it doesn't matter what I think. What do the mods think?
