but I really don’t think R should be weighted the same as N, given a certain context,
maybe not, given the unique history of the n-word. But the r-word should definitely be weighted. It is an offensive term. Perhaps not as offensive as the n-word, but it is offensive.
Yes, but does it fall under the blanket of “Breaking the following rules will result in an immediate and permanent ban with no prior warning: slurs […] aren’t tolerated under any circumstances.”?
I feel that what words apply to that rule are a bit too ambiguous to attach such a heavy penalty equally to all the words that could possibly be included. The rule needs to be clarified or outlined or something since people are wanting mods to hold fast and dear to it.
