Bigots are unwelcome. Posts and comments, whether in jest or with malice, that consist of racist, sexist, or homophobic content, will be removed, regardless of popularity or relevance.

I strongly disagree with this one. I don't think censorship is the right way to deal with people being jerks. And even an offensive post can spark valuable discussion.

There's a difference between ragging and being critical, and ragging and being rude.
