This is a fine line for a forum that is known for the having the most freedom of speech. Racial slurs and racism are not very welcome from either side of the aisle, but they are in fact relevant to politics.
The Truth Does Not Need To Be Supported With Censorship.

I respect your opinion.
You may not know this, but using racial slurs is already prohibited by Rule 15 if such slurs are used in a thread title or user name.
15. No posting racial slurs of any kind in thread titles, it will result in the title being changed and may result in a ban for repeat offenders.
I am gauging interest in extending that rule to include post content, with a specific list of prohibited terms.
The use of slurs implying or stating that other posters are pedophiles is already a bannable offense, and the determination of what constitutes an "implication" is somewhat subjective.
What I am soliciting opinions on is different. I would like to know if the forum members would support a very specific, objective list of racial slurs. There would be complete objectivity. Either someone used one the the listed slurs or they didn't.
Practically Perfect
Rule 15 only exists because thread titled get posted onto Twitter.

I know that.
The content of posts is also easily made visible from the JPP Twitter feed by selecting a post.
Are you defending the use of racial slurs?
Practically Perfect
I am merely passing along what Damo has said. He obviously waited a long time to implement the rule.

Note my apathy
After a lot of thought, including a slippery slope argument, I have decided to vote in favor of banning racial slurs.

Indeed.
Do you think specifically-defined racial slurs ought to continue to be allowed on JPP?
Oderint dum metuant
I feel the same way. Keep in mind that this poll and discussion are in no way binding on or representative of the opinions of management of the forum.
fully immersed in faith..
stupid gimp....

Is that a "no" vote?
Poll's at the top.
fully immersed in faith..
so you're discriminating against racial slurs......
fully immersed in faith..
if you weren't a four eyes you would already know I never vote in polls.....
