While I definitely agree that moderation on low-pyramid comments is not as strict as it could be, I'm torn on how much stricter to get, since it's better to err on the side of allowing low-pyramid comments to stay than removing comments higher on the pyramid.

I think this is an extremely valid point, what do you think should be done about people who post only slurs and racial epithets? I think perhaps some form of auto moderation might help because if people want to be racist they should at least have to express an opinion, instead of just throwing a single word or two word comment that drags the entire site down.

That sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
