Maybe, xocat, you need to give us a list of the kinds of unwelcome speech as an annex to the established forum rules.
When such a list is not yet exhaustive, please simply delete a particular piece of speech undesirable in your eyes without automatically banning the speaker, especially when there is as yet no explicit provision against that kind of speech in the forum rules.
Your purpose is to stop people making things big; to achieve that you need not ban the speaker automatically/in the first instance. After the necessary deletion, make an announcement right on the spot to make people learn not to follow in the 'offender's footsteps. After all, 小潔's utterance was most probably the first of its kind on our forum. There is no precedent. Let your ruling (without a ban) be the precedent, and anyone who does the same next time will be banned, ok??
I would not agree that 'common sense' necessarily steers us away from the 'don'ts' in your mind, given your style of 「無為而治」(or such you claim) in the past.
We simply have no idea, though I am aware that there is a provision against煽動言論 in general. But your style in the past was a tendency to first warn and rebuke before killing.
We are just not used to it.
Help us comply with you without having to 'live in fear' at the same time.
Help us get to know the limits to our freedom of speech here. Or we can work them out together with more mutual understanding and forgiving.
Now that you seem to have changed style somewhat and become more restrictive, specify your tattoos and prohibitions first before they take their punitive 懲罰性effect.
Don't you agree that mutual understanding and forgiving is the solution to the current crisis?
