| Oct 17, 2011 at 16:31 | comment | added | Richard Mod | I'm going to close this because this meta post is referring to a question that has been deleted. While many on this site can still see the question, most cannot. Therefore, I'll just close this (since it's no longer available/useful to the community in general). | |

| Oct 15, 2011 at 11:01 | comment | added | TRiG | Could someone who can please delete that question. | |
| Oct 15, 2011 at 2:15 | comment | added | Ray | Point well-taken. I am hopeful that the new guidelines will make it more difficult to get a lot of votes for a bad answer. | |
| Oct 15, 2011 at 2:08 | comment | added | hammar | @Ray: I strongly agree that it's best if the community can take care of these kinds of posts. And if they had, I might not have had to flag it. But this post still got a decent amount of upvotes, so I think some more discussion may be needed here. This is why I think deleting the question is just a temporary solution, because answers like this will come up again, and I think it would be useful to determine what the precedent should be for dealing with them. Apparently, it's not as clear-cut as one would expect. | |
| Oct 15, 2011 at 1:56 | comment | added | Ray | Perhaps a better question would be how to avoid hate speech. I would propose that this would be done by 1) writing better questions, and 2) the voting system. The former may help mitigate the problem, but I also don't want to blame the OP for other people's hateful words. For the latter, it records a clear community consensus that we don't like such answers. What do we want, to suppress it? To sweep it under the rug? Or to make it clear that we don't like it? This is a community issue, not a moderation issue. | |

| Oct 15, 2011 at 1:23 | comment | added | Ray | @Richard, trig and I spoke about this on chat this evening. He is planning to delete the question and open a new one under the new guidelines, rather than just editing his existing question. Personally I think it will be helpful for both question and answers to be reworked | |
| Oct 15, 2011 at 0:39 | comment | added | Richard Mod | If I'm going to delete the answer, I will delete the entire question. If we view the answer as hate speech, then we must view the question as seeking to draw hate speech. I know that all the moderators have viewed and considered this answer. I can find no fault with his reasoning. Is it hateful? Maybe a bit. But if I delete that answer, I will be deleting it along with the question. | |

"Hate speech" is simply another term for censorship so certain people can justify suppressing ideas they disagree with while still claiming to oppose censorship. Harmful or illegal speech will be dealt with appropriately; ideas that make certain readers uncomfortable are left to the readers do deal with. We're all grown-ups here; let's act like it please? | |
