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 say go for it.

    Imagine you were the manager of a coffee shop. There’s some dude who walks around town all the time wearing a Nazi uniform. You’ve seen him around.

    One day, the guy shows up at your coffee shop, wearing regular everyday street clothes, but you absolutely recognize him as Nazi Uniform Guy. Everyone else in your coffee shop also recognizes him as Nazi Uniform Guy, and a non-zero number of your regular patrons would obviously be threatened by Nazis.

    Get the fuck out of my coffee shop.
