Autoshite Acceptable Language

[Pillock]

Evening 'Shiters.

 

It's been bought to the collective attention of the moderators that on occasion, language is used on here that goes against the flow of what we're about. Obviously I'm not talking about swearing - that's fine, the more creative the better please.

 

However we hope you'll agree that describing people with names historically used to label people with learning difficulties etc is simply not acceptable and crosses the line between humour and bullying.

 

We accept that some people may have grown up using words like these and they've slipped into their lexicon but we'd ask that you consider the implications and just take a moment to think what you're actually saying. As such, whilst there'll be no retrospective action taken, from now we'll be using gentle reminders, post editing and the warning points system where appropriate to keep Autoshite as inclusive as it's always been.

 

Thanks in advance
