constraint: "I'm fully aware we'll have to run 30% of our population out." This sounds like you're advocating for some sort of forced removal, which is not ok at all on MetaFilter. Sotonohito has addressed that line of thought, so we're letting the original comment stay, but avoid posting those types of comments in the future, or we may have to remove the content and/or issue a ban. MetaFilter is not the place to be posting comments about how it's ok to remove any percentage of a population. If that's not what you meant to write, please clarify your statement and be careful what you write in the future on MetaFilter.

One comment removed for joking about shooting someone. Yes, DeepSeaHaggis, Elon is a very unlikable person and has done massive amounts of harm, but it's still against the site's Content Policy to wish violence on someone.

One comment in the wrong thread deleted.

No deletions made so far, but wanted to note HonestAlly-sock's first comment that is being pushed back against. Let's avoid speaking on behalf of other people and discussing their experience like an academic topic; invite them to speak for themselves instead!

Hello, MetaFilter moderation staff here. Do not come into this post or anywhere on MetaFilter to gloat about transphobia or be transphobic in any way, shape, or form. The accounts for bluemat and Czjewel have now been permanently banned for doing so. The moderation staff of MetaFilter intends to be more aggressive about dealing with transphobia on the site and much quicker than previously to redirect conversations and assign bans. If you're not sure what transphobia means or is, you're welcome to reach out to the mods with questions. Otherwise, if you're not sure about whether a comment you want to make is transphobic it's perfectly fine to not say anything and just read a thread and learn something.

And another deleted: your trite sloganeering will not stand here.

One comment deleted, at the poster's request.

One transphobic comment and two followups deleted. Absolutely do not with your gloating in here.

Added 'uspolitics' tag

BlueHorse: "Stupid hag. I could have had 1/1000th of empathy for her actually being afraid to face a stronger opponent with more reach due to body proportion and losing. But having competed with men the week before some of who were no doubt taller, stronger, and perhaps more talented than Sullivan, she was just being a bitch." BlueHorse, this type of sexist language is not ok MetaFilter, it violates our Content Policy, which is there to make it clear that the site is not a haven for hate speech. Please avoid using this type of language in the future, as it may lead to removal of content and/or a ban. For now I'm leaving the comment up to make it clear what's occurred. I'm assigning a day long ban and sending this note to your email.

woman: "How is it possible for Jews to use the phrase "never again" without understanding how they are participating in a modern day atrocity?" Just following up on this comment and what other members have pointed out: Painting Jewish people as a monolithic block is anti-semitic. Not all Jews agree with the Israeli government. Not all Jews support various actions of the Israeli military. Anyone who said all blacks agree with "X" would be quickly condemned as racist, so please be cognizant of your thoughts and language when speaking of the Jewish people.

One comment removed for doubling down on saying "fuck you" to another member. That rule is pretty straightforward, please do not double down on breaking it. Another comment removed for pulling information from a user's profile into the thread and demanding a user be banned. june_dodecahedron, you absolutely need to chill on these types of derails in this thread. You're welcome to take it to MetaTalk or email the mods. Your anger is understandable and the mods are your side, but please avoid continuing to derail the original thread.

CyberSlug Labs, take the week off while the moderation team discusses your comments. In the meantime, it is suggested that you seriously rethink your participation on the site, your comments were transphobic because they blamed child predators and social media for creating trans people. Completely unacceptable. This note has been emailed to CyberSlug Labs.

june_dodecahedron, thanks for bringing this to our attention. In the future, please flag and then shoot us an email to get our attention in these situations. There's only one mod on duty and I am just now seeing the profile you've pointed out. Let's refocus this thread back to the topic it was intended for, as OP has requested. I can confirm that I'm bringing this up to the team right now and working on taking action. Feel free to shoot me an email if you have any other concerns.

Comment and reply to it deleted. It’s 100% uncalled for and not ok to make comments about groomers and predators in a thread about Trans athletes. Do not do that again.

One comment deleted. Let's avoid turning a post about women in space about someone's breast. Please refer to the content policy.

Fixed reedbird_hill's comment above as requested.

So much to know, so much to share, so it's been added to the sidebar and Best Of Blog!

Another comment removed that was just repost of a previous comment of theirs, evidently in protest of the now deleted comment that was just a repost of another comment that was reproduced seemingly in protest of a comment they thought was deleted but was not. Knock it off y'all.

Posted edited to remove the click tracking link and replace with just the destination URL.

One comment removed because it was a repost of another comment which the poster thought was deleted, but wasn't.

DeepSeaHaggis, the site custom is to skip past threads you don't like or that you find triggering. If you choose to engage with such a thread, at least be thoughtful and constructive. Posting comments in all caps that focus on how much you dislike the subject of the is not that. So please avoid the this thread from this point on and remove it from your recent activity. If you do return here and continue as you have, we'll move on to site bans of increasing length if you continue. No comments have been removed and a link to this note have been MeFiMailed to DeepSeaHaggis

Cheers to ashbury for making a post so delicious we just had to put it on the sidebar and Best Of blog!

One comment deleted. Please avoid heavily editing your comments.

This was so much damn fun, how could we not add it to the sidebar and Best Of blog?!

One comment removed. Calling everyone who believes in a certain point of view "murderers and complicit" reduces the discussion to an emotional argument that no side can ever rise above or get past. Disagreement is fine and welcomed on MetaFilter. Heading for the extremes is not. Let's try and find ways to disagree that don't paint the other as mortal enemies.
