Simply put, the point is that you shouldn't post something that's outright offensive or something that would logically offend someone. Especially on a site where you're intended to either masturbate or admire japanese anime artwork. A grab and go, if you will. I don't mean a well-meaning joke, or a harmless comment related to your sexual preferences. And I also don't mean something like a completely casual statement that could only possibly upset the most fringe of people who don't have very good intentions. But in terms of slurs, political beliefs that insult people, unverified statsics you post to spite certain people, or just insults, it's not needed whatsoever. It's just being a dick. Potentially a hateful one at that.

This debate is much better suited on a website like Twitter or Facebook where users are free to express themselves in ways they want to. A mod deleting a comment on gelbooru because they're being a dick to others is fully justified. It serves no purpose.

The comments are heavily moderated contrary to what it says, and just like with any place the mods are humans and sometimes they're going to be assholes. I've had one of my comments deleted several times when I know it wasn't breaking a rule. My comment was deleted for "speaking to the character". which btw is a stupid fucking rule because sometimes it's a good way to make a joke or humor from a picture, and it's fucking harmless. Seriously who is offended when someone makes a comment at a fictional character? Just because the admin has a stick up his ass and cringes at everything doesn't mean we should all be punished for trying to be funny. So I made the same comment without 'speaking to the character' and it was still deleted, twice. I have screenshots of my comments and they don't break the rules, but finally I got annoyed and called Jerl a cunt so that one will probably be deleted, but deleting a comment without telling the person why it's deleted is a pretty cunty move.
