Warn people for bigoted speech. Just set the tone a little more. If you have any mods who feel comfortable doing that, and who won't kill the vibe or act stuffy.

There's not much bigotry here, but there's some, and when it shows up it's jarring. We need to keep the line clear between fantasy and reality. We do not advocate real violence here. Bigotry <i>inherently</i> advocates real violence. Violence is what happens to inferiors, who by nature of being inferior deserve fewer rights. When you think women are inferiors… not much but the law prevents you from hurting them.

On a fucked up forum like gurochan, bans and mutes for speech might put a chill in the air, so maybe reserve them for bad social behavior (which is different from bad speech) – reserve the bans and mutes for really disruptive, high-volume, abusive posters. You gotta be willing <i>in theory</i> to mute or ban for speech, so your warnings carry weight, but don't actually do it unless it's an extreme situation.

That's my suggestion. Warn people sometimes for bigoted speech to keep the line clear between fantasy and reality. No one is inferior on gurochan except in fantasy.
