Edit: I’ve gone and done it. This won’t be a common occurrence but I think it is necessary for some users. Hopefully this won’t bite me in the ass lmao. Thanks for helping everyone!

Hey everyone. On privacy I generally recognize a lot of people, most are good. But occasionally I encounter someone who I’ve seen say horrible shit. This is about one:

Mainly they’ve said some incredibly racist shit, including about my race >:(. Of course I’d ban them, but they said all of this outside the community. I feel it’s odd to ban people I don’t like for their behavior outside the community.

I’ve gone pretty lax modding, only banning if you said really shitty stuff only on my community. But I don’t want to build a community filled with these types of people.

I also don’t want the community to have a bad reputation of banning people I don’t like but this guys a known racist.

I’m feeling very conflicted, can anyone help?

PS: the things he said was about Arabs being murderers and rapists. And some racism to Slavs too

    You’re welcome.

    BTW, it’s also clear that it can be difficult to not react when facing an asshole of some sort, but I think that’s one of the main thing that make us different from them: our ability to not let our emotions dictate our (re)actions. That doesn’t mean we should like them, not even a little bit ;)

      Yeah, I mainly posted due to this guy practically being a white supremacists and saying my race are murderers and rapists. I’ll just report to the instance instead of just banning them.
