View submission: Can we ban this extremely racist asshole?
Uh-oh, someone needs to read the User Agreement before they start barking about censorship and hurting peoples feelings and blah blah blah.
"You agree not to place on the Website any material that is abusive, harassing, racist, or hateful."
While I'm not a lawyer, I would imagine "any material" includes comments as well.
It's at the bottom of every page linked by User Agreement, in the Rules of Usage, Section 1.

I'm pretty sure you can find a *helluva* lot under "abusive, harassing, racist, or hateful".
Remember that guy who moaned about people putting his eBay items on their watch list and not actually buying? And the community's response to that? Abusive?
Oh and don't even get me started on 'hateful' - just go read some of the stuff in the politics sub-reddit.
