It's not really fair to say "until the recent crackdown." Back in 2015, for example, we definitely did not allow the kind of stuff that I saw in the logs I reference in the blog. UCS was already in place, and there was a fairly large consensus that this did not mean abusive behavior was allowed if no one complained at the time.

There was a consensus of this sort — and still is — on everything but abusive behavior. Innuendo, mild swearing, and other such stuff is pretty much tolerated if no one is offended. However, making bigoted or discriminatory remarks had never been allowed, and the other admins and I believe it never should have been allowed. This blog is a clarification of that idea.
