Hey MNHQ. Would it be possible to have a discussion about how SN issues/threads are handled on the main boards. ( pt 2)

Thanks HQ

Thanks HQ A step in the right direction, I think.

Thank you MNHQ

Thanks mnhq

Perhaps in each mnhq post and email related to this (and other bigotry) you repeat this

Swearwords and offensive language
It's not our policy to delete swearwords (we're all adults, after all) but we do draw the line at obscenity, racist, ageist, disablist, homophobic or transphobic language, and wording that is truly beyond the pale.

From talk guidelines?

Not my wording - mnhqs

Live and learn. Its one i'll not be using again.

But happy to give my own suggestion (especially as part Irish)

Swearwords and offensive language
It's not our policy to delete swearwords (we're all adults, after all) but we do draw the line at obscenity, racist, ageist, disablist, homophobic or transphobic language, and wording that is deliberately intended to hurt, anger or offend

Hows that?

Fwiw I think all mners should be required to read talk guidelines (and answer 2/3 randomly generated questions on them to prove this?) Before being able to post.

The irony of a racist phrase being used to warn against using...racist phrases, just spotted that

I'm fascinated by the history of language even have a degree and everything yet I didn't know this one

And today I learnt there was one in Russia and Jews were kept outside.

No, it's the opposite - the Pale of Settlement refers to the area of Jewish settlement in Imperial Russia.

Wow never knew that

Good to gave some feedback from MNHQ.

Isn't it like saying a child is having a paddy? I had that recently pointed out to me that some Irish do not like the phrase

But some refferences say that being in a paddy comes from forces being stuck in a (rice) paddy field.

Either way someone pointed out she doesn't like the comment as she found it racist. We ended up having a long discussion on here

Morning all...
