Modnote: After careful deliberation, we feel this modnoted is needed.
It is the board’s policy to stop casual misogyny. It will not be tolerated, even in the Pit. We are not specifically banning any words, but please report instances of misogyny and expect moderator action.
The use of ‘qunt’ was misogynistic, and thus a modnote has been issued.
We apologize that it took so long to resolve this. We were distracted by ‘should we ban this word?’ The mods have agreed that in general, we don’t want to ban words, and then realized that the issue here was not about the word, but the misogyny.
Thank you,
Jim {What Exit?}
