Exclamation Ethnic Slurs and Epithets

The use of ethnic slurs and epithets on bonsaiTALK is not permitted.

Please note that posters may not be aware that a specific term is considered an ethnic slur and may be objectionable to some readers. In the event you see a post that contains a term that you consider objectionable, please report the post to a moderator using the button that appears beneath the poster's name.

For your reference, here is a partial list of such terms:

Language is a controversial issue, and much depends on context and intent, which is very difficult to infer from a forum post. It is for this is the reason that we recommend that you report the post rather than taking public action. You are certainly welcome to offer a (Private Message) PM to the concerned party that points out this policy.

Regards,

Matt
