Encourages or incites violence
Threatens, harasses, or bullies or encourages others to do so

Are these going to be used against communities that are centered around the pre-existing hatred or dislike of a group or person?

I realize this is nit picking but this is still fairly vague

What constitutes encouragement or how will you decide what incites someone to action?

Just as devils advocate, what grey area are you assuming there is. Like what example of a sub or situation would fall technically within those bounds, but you dont feel spiritually meets them.

You're not nit picking. You're correctly pointing out that these words are meaningless and the admins haven't clarified anything like they promised to do. "Bullying" is just an abstract term that means "saying something that I disagree with about someone I empathize with."

encourages others to do so

Isn't this kind of subjective? If I can easily say that this sub is encouraging me to bully and harass people, will announcements be banned?

Say what you say about them, but coontown had a strict policy against calling for violence.They also never went on harassing brigades.

So basically if spez doesn't like you,you're gone.

I wonder if Lolicons would have been deleted if spez was a lolicon himself...

Don't expect an answer. It's purposely vague, because the enforcement is political in nature.

Lol of course not. It's political in nature, not just based on the literal term "hate"

I can't wait for this to backfire... And holy shit it's so obvious it's going to backfire.

They'll ban coontown and nobody but coontown and free speech advocates will care.

Then they'll ban another tomorrow, and a few more will care

And then another, and maybe we'll notice

And then they'll ban just the right one, the powder keg. And everyone will have themselves to blame.
