"The list would be continuely updated by community votes when necessary, not solely managed by the admins."

So you want the community to manage this list of contextually sensitive words, but not the explicitly blocked ones? No, I wanted all prexisting words/phrases that were already not allowed to be instantly added (decided by the admins), but any updates would have to come from the community. The community would /not/ be able to just yellow/red x a word, because that's not their job, since this whole "offensive language" policy is based only on if people are offended. ...I still don't see the need for having the two things managed separately...

I mean, the yellowx/redx words are still kind of managed by the community via petitions, but ultimately it's the admins that decide.

With the "contextually sensitive words" thing, you would have direct control from the community after the intial admin-decided list (if you go for CVs).

I don't see the need for this difference. Just make the list editable by admins only, and have an admin check and approve each submission.

Or we could do away with/modify convoluted policy modifications like this garbage that only make processes such as this harder and only more confusing, clearly.
