r/moderatepolitics was the worst for that.

Their moderation policy basically allowed any abhorrent view as long as it was expressed in a "civil" manner.

Trolls and racists could say things like "well, in my humble opinion, black people are just inherently violent and unintelligent" and anyone who got irate and called them out would get a warning and/or banned.

    In my experience, the more obsessed a sub's mods were about civil language, the more "be civil" meant "don't sass the nazis."
