Australia is fucked if thatβs the case
australia is fucked for a wide variety of reasons tbh
i try to purge insults which target out-groups from my usage as a general practice, i take the point that it does apply to a lot of common insults though. i prefer to paint a vivid picture with my words.
generally i agree that a perm ban is a bit much, i prefer to keep bans to temporary, unless the person is being particularly abusive to specific users. people don't really have room to learn with perm bans.
i will say that though .ml has a reputation for banning people a lot, most of the time when i follow up on someone who is complaining about draconian mod censorship it will turn out they caught a temp ban and are just being dramatic
