I just had a post deleted which referenced (in a discussion about slurs) a nasty word for people of South Asian ethnicity. Another post starred some letters out but was also removed because that word was clearly meant. Neither post was remotely abusive or offensive.
My understanding was the MN bans abuse, not words.
For example, I thought we could refer to ourselves as a Terf (this one is fine) or quote rap lyrics with the N word in (playing safe) as part of a legitimate discussion but that any hint of those words being directed at people would be pulled.
From discussion with the mod it seems I'm wrong and there is a banned word list, but no reply to follow up question. Does anyone know what words are on it?
