With regards to a sub setup primarily for this type of behaviour..

I think I read somewhere where it expressly states to not be a pussy.

Harrasment and bullying of SaidIt users is prohibited according to the pyramid of debate.

it will be interesting to hear what others have to say!

it doesn't seem too compatible with the pyramid of debate.

Harassment and bully is prohibited, and racism contributes little if anything to debate. In essence, it's not so much that it's banned, but it's frowned upon and taken care of by community.

but a sub where racism is openly allowed by the moderators of the community, who also contribute to such 'debate'...and like I said the underlying belly of said community is based around harassment/bullying of a sub-culture/people outside of the Saidit community. How does that fair with Saidit's content policy, legally and morally speaking.

Hopefully site wide moderators/owners can chime in, without pointing me to a 'Pyramid of Debate'.

It's amazing how new accounts appear and immediately begin calling for censorship. With an immediate dislike for the pyramid of debate, and SJW language.

I'm a Journalist working on something, and as this appears to be the only way to get any kind of contact with site owners I have no choice but to make public. The pyramid of debate is vague at best pertaining to my questions, this is why I've asked. I worked heavily on the Vice 8chan documentary last year, and this particular piece is about a sub-culture which Saidit plays a part in. I have nothing against Saidit, or the pyramid of debate. I haven't called for censorship. Read through my initial posts again carefully before jumping to conclusions.

What the fuck! A journalist! You're here to lie about us. It's shocking you would confess like this. You know Vice has a terrible reputation for SJWism. You're going to write a hit piece. It's what your ilk does.

The pyramid of debate is too vague for you. OK, I get that.

Your question is super vague as well. What on earth are you asking ? If you're doing a story about a SubSaidit you probably should provide some specifics if you want any kind of a question answered.

If you are determined to remain vague, please read the pyramid of debate again and understand that it expresses the guiding principles about how to behave on Saidit.

This is the part where we all tell you to take your bullshit back to Reddit.

It's my understanding that subs made of people who want to relate to each other that way are permitted to exist in the spirit of minimal censorship. However if they bring that way of relating to the rest of the site, they will be warned and then banned if it doesn't stop. Basically they are allowed to play in their rooms, and if you don't enjoy it, don't go there.

"Mute sub" is a handy tool to shield yourself from seeing posts like that on your front page or new.
