Welcome to The Hub. This is our welcoming tribe dedicated to introducing yourself, meeting new people, and learning about new tribes.
Also, notice how no one else received a similar warning?
No one else was violating content policy
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by other issues but I'm 99% sure what it is referring to and he was permitted to do it for 2 years + without any kind of admin response
That wasn't what the problem was. He wasn't even banned for discussions about it. He was banned for a slew of other violations, many of which no one saw because I had no choice but to remove them, and many of which no one would have wanted to see
Wait, this wasn't about Kanye West the whole time?
Yes. There are limited situations to post it. It has to be pretty removed from any support and not used in a way that is to shock people
It's best to not post it or at least be understanding of why it's instantly removed if it wasn't one of the exceptions
This has to be one of the least self aware rebuttals to a warning about site content policy I've ever seen on here
In case anyone needed receipts for my decision on site banning a long time user.
I don't take any joy in it. It's not pleasant. But neither is 10 sitewide ignored content policy violations.
Everyone's feed should start being noticeably better (including new users landing on the site page for the first time) and less contentious.

Fair point well made, Durek. Fair point well made.
@Vermillion-Rx What if I'm a nazi mainly because I like roads? None of the Jew stuff, none of the invading Poland stuff. Just build more roads. Would it still be wrong to post a swastika?
"Nazism with a human face". You know, like the Czechoslovaks did with communism.

Are we doing the progressive reddit-think thing where hating white people isn't racist though?
As a person of a rather pasty persuasion myself, there's a part of me that wants to embrace that line of thinking ("no such thing as racism towards white people"). Because, really, it comes from a place of viewing white people as superior.
In the mind of your average Redditor, racism is an act of "punching downwards" in the racial hierarchy. Hence, members of a....(God, how am I going to put this?)..."race of higher order" can't be subjected to racism by members of a..."race of lower order". Because that would be "punching upwards".
I know this all sounds very racist in and of itself, in a white supremacy sort of way. But seriously, this is the thought pattern that the so called anti-racists and wokesies actually subscribe to.
And so, why should I - as a white person - object to someone essentially placing me at the top of the racial hierarchy, without me even having to ask for it, or demand it? I mean, racial superiority seems pretty awesome, doesn't it?
So yeah, I'm actually going to chime along on this one, and say: "It's not the same thing, stupid!"
