That's not to say I can't clamp down somewhat on the worst offenders, but I'm really more of a believer in setting realistic rules and expectations for everyone, rather than subjectively defining trolling/shitposting on the fly.
When people ask me at the 2021 WSOP, "Why are you allowing the n-bomb to be freely posted on your site?", the answer of, "Well, I banned dwai for trolling and shitposting, so that's progress, right?" won't exactly cut it.
Do a search for the n-word by post, and skip the first bunch of results from this thread. In recent times, the guy throwing the n-word out there is dwai, followed by people quoting dwai, people responding to dwai, and people quoting rep that dwai gave.
The rule is easy. It's your forum. Make it simple. You've already made it clear all decisions here are yours, so make that the literal rule. If you deem a poster to be a shitposter who only disrupts things or throws around racist terms to be extra shocking, you will get rid of them, or restrict them in some way.
You;re already the entire judge/jury of this place. You can do whatever you want. Err on the lenient side, even, but start with the clear-cut racist shitposting.
