Raze and I have a slightly different approach to moderating (though not that different) but consensus is important as inconsistent moderation is not helpful. I'm obviously invested in both sides of this particular argument and personally speaking I'm happy enough now that people have stopped throwing insults around. If they start again then the situation will be reappraised.
The problem is that the insults against autistic people still stands there. Any user, new and old, can read that thread and verify that Larian's moderation is ok to let that hate speech content standing on their pages. Even if you're not legally responsible (and I am not sure, I don't exclude that Canada's law could say that you have to remove that content.. I'm not familiar with foreign laws) you ethically are.
I know that the majority of other forums don't manage content this way, they would have at least edit that content, many other would have temporary banned tuco too, and I totally agree with that style of moderation.
I think that the moderation result inconsistent here, despite the intentions, because nobody seems to care about leaving rubbish of various kind between the comments. Nobody seems to care even about the worst and stinky rubbish. The result is that the forum is less readable and that users are forced to read all the shit posted in the threads. Not good at all in my arrogant opinion.
