Explanation of update to Rule #0 for consistency and clarity especially in regards to racism

I would like to provide some clarification on the recent “logs”:
- The recent logs posted on 4chan are fake. The ideas presented don’t even sound like Nebbie, and there was a cheap attempt to copy his speech pattern (dual k’s and stuff like that).
- Here is me grepping (searching through) all IRC logs between November 22, 2018 and today, searching for user “sixone” as presented in the “logs”:
As can be seen, such user never wrote a single message on any of the #derpibooru channels, and hasn’t ever even joined them. I have also searched for some messages as presented in the “logs”, which I could not find either.

I would like to further this in that I’ve heard of people accusing Derpy over this and I’m…just confused by it. Derpy’s handling of ban appeals tends to be very careful, he doesn’t end them early and he doesn’t ask people to stop associating with others, and I would be concerned if he did.
Now, as to something more on-topic and worthy of posting in a locked thread: Many people have been clamoring over the rule wording, and I think there were some minor flaws in it. I think things are out of proportion, but nonetheless, I do think we’ll try and make the wording clearer on what’s prohibited, at least in regards to portraying races negatively, which seems to have been an area of some confusion. No promises, but we also might be able to make it clearer the problem is when things cross the boundary of being purely about fiction and touching on reality.
I must say I wish that I could be opening a user feedback thread right now, but it seems like threads like this do not work very well, and so an alternate means must be found.
