I had a post removed today for using the word "spook" in reference to government agents, a common usage that I see around the site, because it is a racial slur, although ive never seen it used with that intent (not that it matters), and it only gets removed maybe 10% of the time. In order to be consistent and not offend any comrades I would propose adding it to the word filter so its removal will be uniform and not open to mod interpretation.

I say ban it for three reasons:

  1. It has been and can be used as a racist term
  2. As a slight to stirner
  3. Authoritarianism 8149

I say ban it if it makes our black comrades uncomfortable. Although would it be possible to allow spooky to be used?
