Earlier, someone reported me on Discord for racism after I used the word "negro." I thought that saying it would be fine since it's not derogatory term, but clearly he did not think so. Even a few mods agreed with the guy and they told me not to use the word again. I was very shocked as negro literally means black. The "politically correct" term I usually hear people say is "African-American" which in my opinion would be more offensive (unless they were actually born in Africa, then it would make sense). You don't hear anyone call whites "British-Americans" do you? I even replaced "negros" with "whites" in the same message saying it in chat and no one seemed to mind except for the same guy who reported me last time. I have been banned before for racism when I said "nig" in chat. I was also very surprised by this as you can see in my super serious ban appeal which was unrightfully declined: https://pandahut.net/forums/viewtopic.p ... ks#p113301 . To avoid confusion and little kids yelling "racism" in the chat, I think it would be a good idea to add a list of all the banned words/phrases to the rules. While sections 1.4 and 1.4.5 in the rules touch upon this topic, they don't actually specify what would be considered racist leaving it up to interpretation.
