Do admins do grammar check on profiles and wipe them when they fail now ?

As always we do not discuss private details on matters like this in public forums, however if we did the seven year history behind this would be very difficult to succinctly describe and in a forum post. All I can do is assure you this was heavily debated and discussed, and both the actions and their implications were not taken lightly. I am sure this provides little solace to those who would criticize, but if the options are appeasing critics or protecting user's privacy it is a fairly simple choice to make.



Given that the 'Muslim' account was only registered in Dec 2007, is the 'raging admin debate' about the existence of the account or about what he use in his room greeting (which is not private)?

It always amuses me how even his nick makes people uncomfortable in the room. Says more about the people discomforted than anything else...
