Now, of course, since I don't believe that "retard" should be allowed, I would have to fall in line and say that I don't think the other terms should be allowed either. But I can only see "autistic" being the term, out of those you list, that is used on here at any notable frequency. So perhaps we need to decide if both get blocked or both get unblocked.

Butttttttt, only the admins can decide that! Thanks to Thread:283053, this community discussion is ultimately useless, as the community can no longer determine the legality of these words. Community discussion is just that. It's for the community to discuss and voice their opinions. It may not have any bearing on the changes actually implemented, but it isn't "useless." So please don't be condescending and don't write off what people have to say just because this isn't a community vote. I'm not writing it off, and the condescension is mocking the absurdity of that vote and the weird position it puts the community of this wiki in. I don't think we anticipated that it would end up being the admins regaining near-total control over parts of this wiki's decision-making, most glaringly blocking and unblocking words. We can receive input, which is always good, but that unfortunately doesn't mean much when it's still only 5 or 6 users making the final decision. We aren't a perfect representation of the majority of the wiki's thoughts.
