/r/coontown will be reclassified. The content there is offensive to many, but does not violate our current rules for banning.
You specifically said that it won't be banned. I don't care for the subreddit myself, but your constant lack of consistency doesn't encourage trust between the users and admins.

The best part? Coontown wasn't banned for being offensive. It was banned because it was taking too long for the admins to come to an agreement with the mods.
It wasn't because of racism, the mods just got fed up and threw the community out the window.
I won't miss coontown, most people won't. But the reasoning seems kinda dumb.

Ahh but that was the current rules. Now we have *new* rules. Ridiculously inconsistent!

That comment was before that sub started baiting the admins by putting "endorsed by reddit" in their sidebar. Seriously, they were sketch as hell but then didn't get banned and started playing it up for laughs. Circumstances change.

It was affecting hiring ability, people didn't want to work for a place with racist content on their CV's.
It had to go...
