If these things aren't discussed in chat, why should he start a thread about it? If you say there are no such discussions then that is fine. But I still fail to understand (if this happens) why such topics even is necessary to bring up in this kind of chat. It does say in the chat policy '''Please do not: Link or otherwise reference any content (censored or uncensored) such as videos, pictures, etc. in the main chat that is one or more of: It also says: So I do hope that this is put in practice if someone says so. See, that rule just says "don't link to stuff that's inappropriate". There are no discussions that occur in chat which others may find offensive and if someone finds a topic offensive, they can PM a chat mod and tell them that the topic is offensive and could they please request the discussion be discontinued.
 * Excessively gory
 * Sexual
 * Otherwise NSFW material'''
 * Discuss matters which other users may find offensive.

At no point has any user come to the chat mods and said "this topic is offensive to me": that's because the users in the chat are not people who think every single post is insulting and people who think that any topic in the chat is insulting should not be in it.

What you are suggesting is that we pretty much kick anyone when they violate a rule. Like HBS said: we do not want the chat or the wikia to become an authoritarian wasteland and right now, you are suggesting that we follow the rules to the letter and not the spirit. The regulars of the chat follow the rules to the spirit, not the letter, which makes it a place that people can actually hang out in.
