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

    I’m just glad that there is finally a banning question that’s not about me!! :)

    I personally think it’s bad form to ban someone from your community for things said outside the community.
