And this says policy modifications are to be voted on by the community in a community vote. This IS a policy modification.

So actually, this petition shouldn't even have happened in the first place, this should have been a vote right from the off. This is not a policy modification. This has nothing to do with policy. It doesn't change the policy in any way, unless you count a creation of a new page containing words that are offensive in respective contexts a change of policy. (((its not)))

But yeah, I guess this is a petition, so it's invalid unless you do some Executive Management How is it not a policy modification? We're adding the concept of banning "contextually sensitive words" to the policy. What we had before was just banning blatant (and not-so-blatant) swear words, now we're adding words that would be offensive given a certain context. It's a concept we didn't have before, thus it's a modification of the policy.

That's my logic, at least.
