"as of now there will be a zero tolerance for racist/anti-semitic/prejudice posting. This includes words like 'k*ke' and 'sp*c' even said jokingly."

Why is "nigga" ok jokingly but the other two aren't?

I just explained why, if that explanation isn't good enough, sorry but it is a subjective process much like modding. I've tried to draw some kind of line in the sand in terms of what is acceptable which obviously will not please everyone (or anyone) and some stuff is borderline like 'wassup nigga' etc. because it has become mainstream.
I'm not going to get in argument about how this isn't fair because it's never going to be perfectly fair and just. I'm also not going to get into a philosophical discourse or cultural studies thesis on what or why nigga has become mainstream and acceptable in our culture whereas 'nig*er', sp*c' and 'k*ke' are still highly offensive. I'm doing my best to keep the purely hateful crap out and try and keep the funny or distasteful but not-hateful stuff (like wassup nigga or 'nigga plz') in. If I err on the side of caution by still including some stuff that is mildly offensive like 'nigga plz' then that's just the way it is. That's the best I can do and if you don't agree with it, then sorry but too bad.
