The rules currently read:
As written, these rules are stating that:
-No racial discrimination is allowed.
-Gender- and religion-based discrimination is allowed as long as it's not persistent.
-Any other discrimination (including sexuality-based) is allowed, whether it's persistent or not.
However, the rules are NOT being interpreted and enforced in this manner. For instance, one admin recently said point-blank that "The rule is still technically no discrimination against sexuality" (see here: https://www.skial.com/threads/akrel-toxic-salty-and-vulgar-language.80321/#post-760323).
So my question is: Are other types (such as sexuality-based discrimination) allowed?
If so, I think the rules need to be clarified and edited so that they actually state this.
If not, then I think that Leadership (@Bottiger ?) should clarify that the admins are currently incorrect in their public explanation of the rules.
(Please note that this is NOT a thread discussing whether or not such discrimination SHOULD or SHOULD NOT be allowed - this is a thread about whether it IS allowed, because I believe the word of admins is conflicting with the current wording of the rules).
-Racism
---Racial slurs or stereotypes are not allowed.
---However, you may use the term "nigga" without negative words or stereotypes. Examples of negative words include but not limited to: dumb, bad, hate.
-Other Discrimination: Any persistent discrimination based on gender or religion is not allowed. What qualifies as persistent will be determined by an admin.
