Immature hate speech is just a totally out-of-line taint on the very international, diverse and multicultural community that we J-vinyl toy collectors are.

I basically agree, but I think that "moderating" is very different from "censoring". Like Jason already pointed out, I also believe sweeping offensive comments away only serves the offenders by hiding their offensive bullshit from the rest of the community. And since SB's policy on homophobic hate speech etc. has been stated repeatedly, aside from being part of the FAQs, I really don't see why these people aren't just being banned instead of being given two and a half verbal warnings (and how exactly am I supposed to tell if someone has made, say, homophobic comments before if those comments are deleted immediately?).
Yes, I have said/posted stupid shit myself and I surely believe in second chances - but then I also believe that if somebody feels the need to use homophobic rhetoric on a public message board, it's probably pretty safe to assume they're a fucking asshole.

Are you all okay with that?
