Moderators will look at overt discrimination very harshly. Blatant forms of racism, sexism, homophobia, or any other sort of hatred towards a group of people(s) will not be tolerated, and will be met with firm moderation.

 

well ill be blunt here, i hope the moderators actually pay attention to comments about muslims, arabs or middle easterns in general. while i dont usually enter political threads to stay away from these comments, at times i do. and the number of misinformed, blantantly wrong or just flat out offensive comments. personally ill stay away from these threads, but there is a good number of people who are from those groups that i mentioned that might be in those threads, and get offended by them. 

I agree with this. Often times I see blantantly ignorant or offensive posts about the above mentioned group, and I routinely mark them for moderation. Unfortunately, I have yet to see any action taken against those posts. It's either because of the mods own ignorance about the topic (in which case we need a more diverse group of moderators) or their own preexisting bias. Either way I hope the mod team finds a way to stay fair to all kinds of groups.
