I believe as this community is essentially a parliamentary session, any vulgar or obscene commentary should be strongly discouraged. Much like the speaker of the house, moderators should consistently remind those who break the above guideline to refrain. Repeat offenders / extreme examples should be subject to a temporary ban.
Thoughts?
edit: I wonder what people think is the purpose of downvotes? Do you not want to have the discussion?
Agreed. Intent and good/bad faith is a better indicator, but also harder to automate / more work.
There’s plenty of people who use nice words but aren’t there to have a discussion with you.
I’ve met at least one of them in the mod voting thread.
