The point I'm trying to get through is I don't care where you set the bar as long as it's equally applied

We can certainly accomplish this. Both of us admins are basically non-partisan and the site has non-partisan roots. If you ever feel we're slipping on applying rules equally hit me up and express it.

I also agree with your points about stifling comedy. But ironic things have a way of becoming non-ironic. We're just trying to pick some kind of line to prevent this site from becoming Voat2. Easier said than done for sure.

I appreciate your clarity. Thanks for the reply.

Here's an example of how difficult comedy can be to police/mod.

Leftists could easily call this a genocide joke and push to get it removed or a sub banned if the rules were not written clearly.

Isn't it? I guess the "erased" part makes it a hypothetical maybe. Certainly a good example.

I'm hoping we never start down the sub banning path, aside from the extreme subs we've already banned, and instead just ban users after their 2 warnings, so subs and mods don't live in fear of arbitrary shit by admins.
