It's odd. If it were up to me, no crime would disqualify you, mainly due to the risk of corrupt judges convicting oppositional candidates, like they do in Russia.

This is it, the megathread. Please keep it limited to this one, we don't need the same event spammed 50 times.

R1, homophobia. I get your intent wasnt to insult gay people, so Im not removing it and putting on the federated mod log, but next time, please dont call things gay.

Removed, R2.

Thats fair, and thats exactly why I let you make the decision.

You know what, no, I'm not. I'm going to turn off my computer, and go drink a couple more beers and do literally anything but get on lemmy tonight.

You made a false assumption, and went all in on sources that depend on that assumption.

Mate, here's a great example of you intentionally pissing everyone off. Look at how much effort you put into the comment, you got sources and everything. But you're still managed to piss everyone off, while maintaining a thin facade of civility. We can see past it at this point, you aren't here to discuss or anything, just to troll.

A try-hard troll is still a troll.

I'm still going to let peepin make the final decision, but I fully recommend a ban.

Tbh, there has been a lot of race focused posts lately. I'm toying with the idea of some sort of temporary halt on the topic, not sure if that'd make things worse. Streisand Effect and all.
