The issue we are facing is a large number of comments from users being racist towards others because of cheating. Our mod queue has received a lot of reports regarding these from you. Reddit Admins have also had to remove a lot of these comments, so we know the issue is present.

lmao

Redditors:

"I want different rules for the Chinese but that's not racist I just want one specific race of people treated differently"

Theres a thin line between chinese people cheat (generalisation of a race) and most cheaters in this game are people who live in china (fact). While to some people those 2 sentences are exactly the same which is the problem. Personally i say let the discussions happen and let the people who make it about race expose themselves and get banned and if a comment section gets too racist just lock it imo

Isn't this shit pretty much the same argument racists make about black crime statistics?

"It's just their culture that's the problem."

eh, crime has material causes and i don't think it's necessarily the best idea to put that on here. It's not like cheaters are cheating because they only have dial up and 20 frames per second due to generational poverty and racist government.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
