I find it baffling you think the use of the word "retard" to make fun of those with developmental delays is a "form of emotive expression" and should be protected by the moderators as "freedom of expression"

But hey, if that's the hill you're willing to die on.. I'll just move on to another website. 

But your rules say, on penalty of ban, do not use: 

• Hateful language about race, religion, country (Example: US vs. EU threads), political beliefs, etc.

It sounds like the mod team is failing to see that the use of this language, even if not explicitly directed at another user, is offensive/hateful. 

If you're looking to create an environment that is edgy and toxic, just come out and say it. 

Can any moderators remove these  words that are derogatory, demeaning and pejorative from deck titles? It is offensive, unnecessary and wildy innacurate.

Sorry, but this response is bullshit.  You're saying the use of the word "retard" to describe something is not insulting to anyone and it's permissable? If I commented on someone's post and said "this deck is so gay", it would follow the same thought pattern?

I understand if this is happening so much that you guys feel like you can't police it, but that's not taking responsibility for the environment you've created. 

I also understand if you don't have your own experience with kids or adults with development delays, but the use of the phrase "retard-proof" to describe something that is easy to use or simple, is actually very insulting to some of us.  I struggle every day with my son, who has developmental delays because of a genetic condition he was born with, to help him develop. 

You guys / girls can do better. 

So if you wouldn't mind humoring a thought experiment for me please:

Imagine another deck gets created with the following title: F2P Legend 1-Day Grind! Idiot Faggot Pussy Ass Bitch-Proof Huntard

Per the rules as Skarma has so clearly outlined for us, "The first is flaming and the second is not."

So I'm not flaming...I'm just describing my deck that way right? This should theoretically stand right? I just want to make sure we're all on the same page that the message you guys are sending is: It's not the words you use, but how you use them.

The deck literally is "retard-proof" though. My 4 year old nephew with downs played and won with this deck the first time playing the game...just saying

Everyone can find the most upvoted decks easily by just searching for decks and filtering them by upvotes. Why post those decks here?

it's levi-o-sa not levio-sa. thanks tips

Okay, that DH token deck is really bad, why would you ever recommend it?

Also there are some mods who honestly have nothing better going for them in life than just flexing their banhammer here to make themselves feel important. Not gonna call out any names but they are the same mods that spam the front page with the hottest decks of the meta every 3 days.

Let me close this by sayign that moderation discussion like this is NOT permitted in the open forums. As seen in this thread it only leads to off topic debate. 

So going to ask you to drop any further moderation discussion and take any issues you have up with me or any one else on the moderation staff.

Thanks!

Literally don't have the strength not to post this... Don't even care...

I miss the old beta hearthstone :( where u could top deck and win... now its just boring decks. and RNG... 

I love how mods don't allow people to call each other retards without getting slapped on the wrist but allow that derogatory term to exist as acceptable deck name. I'm not opposed to the word retard just don't try to ban me when I use it to describe other people meanwhile letting it exist to some other degree in a different capacity. It just makes the mods looks like hypocritical, double standard d__che bags.

As someone with a 5 year old son with special needs, I find it sad and offensive.  Try expanding your vocabulary to come up with a better insult. It's really not that difficult. 

Also unfortunate the website is choosing to not only allow it, but also promote and showcase it. 

100% agree with your bruv. manz has been banned so many times just for using offensive language cuzzy. i say 'f' the mods and their hypocritical policy. big up myself and yourself and the horde side massive.

I guess sometimes the mods can be r____s.
