The events of the past year have led me to reflect on how we run the server and the effect that our policies have on the general quality of people who are attracted to our community.

I'm announcing a major change to the rules. This was not an easy decision to make, and I'm well aware that some of you will be disappointed by this.

Going forward, racial slurs and other hate speech will no longer be allowed. I do not want to see any more N slurs or swastika sprays in our community. We’ll still allow occasional edgy jokes, but by and large this sort of offensive-for-the-sake-of-it conduct is not going to be tolerated any longer.

I don’t intend to turn the server into a hypersensitive safe space, and I feel that this change won’t be an issue to the majority of our users. Some of you, however, will have to learn to let go of your “racist edgelord” identity if you still care to be a part of our community.

This just isn't who we are. It's immature, it's not right, and most importantly, it’s not conducive to building a decent community. We just have to be better.
