Holocaust deniers
covers rules 1 and 2
Of course it does, that's a completely terrible rule. By restricting accusations of racism, you're blocking yourself from racist conspiracies which are actually pretty common historically. There was the Dreyfus affair, which was a conspiracy to blame a Jewish soldier for treason actually carried out by a French officer, and the Munich Beer Putsch could also be counted as a racist conspiracy.
This isn't how this rule works, this is a rule that prohibits users from accusing other users of racism. A post about a non-user being racist or part of a racist conspiracy would be perfectly acceptable, which is why I have allowed this post of yours to stand. Because even though it is wrong, it is hilariously on topic.
Rule 9 is in place to stop these metareddit brigades which is basically all you have done with your life for the last 3 days. So i'm fairly confident that this post will be brigaded because of all the other brigades you have initiated in the past three days, they all TIE together.
Rule 10 is in place because of constant disruptive behavior that comes from people who "don't like people to be allowed to talk about this stuff"
Rule 11, it sure is sensationalist. It may be accurate if you only are willing to look at things thru the perspective of a person who thinks any discussion about the holocaust that isn't 100% worshiping the official story, is somehow racist or antisemitic. ITS NOT
I am all about free speech, you can point to a comment graveyard that someone else created in a sub that I have been a mod of for 3 days and blame me for all your problems. That doesn't change who I am.
Good luck with your witch hunt.

I had no idea Holocaust Deniers were a race, ethnicity, religion, Creed or social order.
Plus how it derisive or slander? It's an accurate term because they deny one or more of these things
1. The intention to exterminate the Jews
2. The user of gas chambers and extermination squads
3. The academic consensus of a 5-6 million death toll corroborated by census data
Calling someone a denier when they deny something is true is a accurate term.

So you are effectively saying I'm not violating the rule. Then why accuser me of it in the first place?

If it is done I will have no part in starting it, nor do I have the power to stop users acting on their own.

There is no such thing as the official story because there is still so much debate. Please inform me, does the official story support structuralism or intentialism? Do they support Goldhagen or place the blame exclusively on the Nazi Party? By saying there is an "official story" you are saying there is a Jewish cabal behind the academics, which IS an antisemitic accusation.

Explain your banning wave of /r/xkcd and you removal of posts from the front page.

Actually a really important point that I feel no one else has made. You keep saying it's the 'other mods' who are doing all this banning, deleting and censorship.
If you really are all about free speech, why aren't you trying to stop them? Why do you tolerate it? Why don't you resign? Because seriously, by staying as a mod you are looking very complicit in their actions.

I'm curious, please explain what part of the Holocaust is misrepresented by history and please cite credible sources.
