Understood. Although I did not intend to bait. The intent is if the party reply he/she is either one of the nationalities, then the previous replies are well-understood. Then leave them to argue since it concerns them. Either way, will heed your advice.
Thank you.
Can I also clarify something?
I read that labelling is not allowed for example, JHK, **** etc....totally understand the rational ...due to hurting feelings of other nationalities....
So may I ask why is the calling of Singaporeans as "Sinkies" allowed? I have report such posts repeatedly and I get replies from Mods like "dun overthink" and " not referring to you"....
hmm, as a singaporean I am hurt just like an indian is hurt if called **** or friends up north called JHK... So why is "Sinkie" allow?
Ps:sorry about the bold...dunno how to undo.
let look at context of the post
if its egregious like the 2 posts below, then i have given them 6 pts

its not as simple as a blanket ban, if these words are strictly not allowed, then we would have censored all 3 words.
**** is a trade treaty between 2 countries, we welcome people to discuss the pros and cons of trade treaty but to label the other party as the trade treaty is inappropriate. because they can also label us as **** since Singapore also signed it, would you have like that?
i do not remove post or warn post on jhk again unless they are egregious and truth is posts with jhk on them tend to more egregious than post with sinkies because they are referring to others.
for post with Sinkies, some tend to more self deprecating or term of endearment since its self-referential, so we tend to more lenient,
However, I do notice an increase trend of highly offensive remarks toward Singaporeans recently as exemplified by the 2 examples I gave, let me reassure you that such posts are strictly not allowed and if they were to be detected to be from foreign sources (we have our own ways), I will not hesitate to pban them.
And even as Singaporeans, our members should not engage in Self-hatred and post highly offensive post about Singaporeans.
Self-deprecation ok, Self-hatred not ok
