[UNBANNED]Banned last week on Thursday

[Mike]

The problem with allowing the word nigger in all contexts but that of discrimination and prejudice is that we are working with text-based communication. This does not allow for other types of communication (like body language and verbal tones) to help get the idea across, which may signal that someone is jokingly (or sarcastically) saying nigger. Because of this we cannot know when someone is using the word in an unacceptable way or a joking way.

Our solution is to ban use of the word outright.
