should we address the casual antisemitism on MN?

I rarely venture beyond my narrow range of interests on MN these days so I don't know if it happens a lot, or if a similar level of hatred is extended to other groups, but what I saw tonight was sinister (particularly against the current backdrop of a surge in antisemitic crime in UK). I wondered if we had an agreed definition of what constitutes antisemitism or if people feel the issue is covered and handled well enough within the existing guidelines.

Sorry we have had a minor technical issue this evening, which led to a delay in deleting that thread - we posted at Thu 21-Jan-16 20:11:41 to say that we would be deleting it (and we usually leave a few minutes grace for folk to read our comments before we hit delete) but it took us a bit longer to do so this evening, meaning that the discussion went on further.
Hope this clears things up
Thanks

@RainbowDashed

If they've been challenged and deleted then there isn't an issue as far as the OP goes. She asked if something needed to be done about the rise of antisemitism. It would seem that the answer is that it already is, whether or not incidences are on the rise.

MNHQ do you keep a tally of reasons for deletion, are you able to say whether a particular issue is on the rise?

I suppose my (badly worded) statement should read that I would be interested to see if there was anything that hadn't been deleted, not least because if I am inadvertently using antisemitic language then I would definitely want to know so that I could stop. Not necessarily saying that anything I posted would be pulled up, but purely so I could avoid language that someone else may have used, whether it was deliberate or not.

We do monitor these things and we haven't noted a rise of antisemitism.
However, we will generally only know if it's reported, so please do flag it to us if you see it. Thanks all.
