I only have like ten minutes of internet time left so this will be quick (more detail tomorrow is possible).

I went there a little in another comment to you somewhere in this post's comments, but I'll say it again - you're articulating a problem and essentially representing a subset of members that we haven't been conscious of previously. We have to bear responsibility for that, but we also need to hear it from members who feel that way.

We're trying to look out for the members who put their heads down and put up with [whatever] in other communities , or who leave them - because as far as we can see those are the members who need s_d to be the "safest" it can be. I don't believe I was a part of "surprise buttsex" going away (though I would have been in favour of it), but if the team had heard from members who had explained why they had such a fondness for the term maybe things would have gone differently. Maybe not; for some it's a real disturbing term as you accept.

It is a no-win scenario. We can promise to aim squarely at not offending or alienating you; we can't promise to succeed. If that's what it came to, we certainly wouldn't badmouth "new scans daily" or call anyone a racist if they wanted to join it. Let's hope it doesn't come to that? Your comments are really helpful and I hope that we can do something with them. Thanks, very much, for continuing to talk with me.
