I myself, having at one time spoken the racist term "Dindu nuffin" and having been warned, appreciate the leniency.
Certainly, while a ban would've sufficed, with a warning my overall view of Goonstation administration team improved--and I haven't said anything along those lines again.
The Administrator, WarCrimes, concisely explained that while my intentions may not have been racist, the origin of the phrase is. Even posting a link into the admin PM.
While I wouldn't say I'm a Pillar of the community, nor have I contributed in any noteworthy way, I'm glad to have not been permanently banned over that.
Overall, I find this approach to be not only more effective, but reflect well on the team.
I won't opinionate myself further as I have no authority to speak on it, beyond relating my own experience with the matter.
