I want to know what he said so I can use it as an example of what is considered violence here, because so far I can't figure it out.

He said everyone should be happy, except one group who must be eliminated.

It's definitely erring on the side of caution, but that's better than risking the whole site being taken down or m7's life being ruined with lawsuits. Saidit's has already been on thin ice with its hosts before, ex. /s/Ice_Poseidon. Otherwise it would (I think at least) be allowed because it's just harmless words.

So, its not violence, its violence against a certain group of people? Because what if i said all evil people should be eliminated? Or all chess players should be eliminated?

No, it's violence, as far as I understand. I think you could argue for something like the death penalty, without saying things like "x should be lynched or eliminated". That kind of language is usually what triggers those who could shut down saidit. It's even worse if it's a specific individual. I do wish it were a less vague policy, but that's how I've seen it enforced by the owner. Usually I try to be very much on the lenient side, but if it's something that could put saidit in danger, especially since the owner is very distant right now, there needs to be a lot of caution. The owner knows it far better than any of us, since its his rule, and you can try asking him instead but you may be waiting a while to get a response.

Also, the user in question is a serial spammer who has been banned many times from saidit, who is now posting porn and IP grabbers, and is claiming to be posting CP.

Oh yeah, serial fags, not the issue, I get that part. I just have not restrained myself at all and I love violence and understand that the world can only be cleansed in fire. Also I keep telling weegs he needs to fall down some stairs. So I am unsure how I am getting through and others arent. Maybe I just don't post enough.
