Hi all,

It has come to my attention that there has been an extremely serious COC and possibly law violation in r/AusSimCampaigning by the user /u/Odd-Possession9308 for Abuse and Death Threats, and thus shall be permanently banned from AustraliaSim. Threats of violence against people of any race is unacceptable in AustraliaSim, as well as on Discord.

Evidence

In r/AusSimCampaigning, there was a post that contained the text "Make Sydney clearer, send the ch*nkys back to burwood" along with an image of a man with a gun. I will not be posting the poster here as it will contain the uncensored slur and we do not want people to view that on our Reddits. Needless to say, the text accompanied by the image violates our Code of Conduct provisions of Abuse, and violates Discord Community Guidelines, including:

Do not organise, promote or support violent extremism. This includes glorifying violent events or the perpetrators of violent acts, as well as promoting conspiracy theories that could encourage or incite violence against others.

Do not use hate speech or engage in other hateful conduct. This includes the use of hate symbols and claims that deny the history of mass human atrocities.

Moderators commented on this as follows:

There is a man with a gun in the campaign ad. The post itself is illegal under Australian law

Ban and delete the post ASAP holy shit

Therefore I think it is appropriate to permanently ban /u/Odd-Possession9308.

Head Moderator's comments

I would like to once again stress the importance that while this is a political simulation, we must never ever perpetrate or voice violent or harmful views. Diversity of political opinion can happen without the direct threatening and attacking of individuals and minority groups, and straying further in that direction can result in moderation repercussions, or even the hand of the law being forced upon you. Don't be a dick, don't be a cunt, don't be a murderous psychopath. Don't pretend to be either of those for clout (looking at you edgelords).
