I presume we're talking about slurs that denigrate a group of people (racial, gender, sexuality, etc.).

Can I still call a mod a dumbass? Angel

One entire post positing that it is NOT clear, but rather subjective, just like every other instance of this kind of rule. I'm not fighting you on this, just pointing out that I'm glad I'm not on staff.

No, seriously, it's super easy to follow, and if you bust it, you apologize and modify your posting going forward. This is just psa shit....

I mean, the only reason I'm posting in this thread is because slurs are normal language for me. So I come from the background of..for or against, slurs are normal(ized), but not here, and when it happened, I read my post again and saw it and..well..yeah. Apologize, acknowledge that you know better, move on.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Let me try to explain what brought this about.  We have a forum member who specifically asked staff about posting a video with a specific slur.  They were advised not to.  Then they posted a different video with the same slur.  

No means no.

You'll still be taking each "slur report" individually. I wish you luck.
