they are literally the reasons why they are there. I don't know what else to tell you. I know why they were put in place. Liberals always complained about the racists, so we were like "ok I'll make it so they never have to be in liberal threads again"
Liberal women complained about the violent sexual language, so we made up rule 12c. (not saying it wasn't a valid complaint.. but that rule exists because of darla/bijou/tekky/rana/christie etc)
APP was because people didn't want trolls or racists at all in their threads. The forum is barely used.
I don't ever remember implementing a rule because conservatives complained about their feelings being hurt or because someone was saying something mean to them. It's been because of liberal complaints EVERY. FUCKING. TIME.
If we lifted threadbans, rule 12c, rule 14, got rid of app, conservatives on this board would basically be business as usual.
I wonder how long before the last liberals left in a huff once they got triggered because JPP wasn't a safe space anymore.
I would fully be open to the challenge of lifting all posting and censor rules (minus dox and 12b). Lets see who gets butthurt first.
