check ambiguities[edit]

We are a global site where many participate in their second or third language. and an awful lot of people save without preview or spellcheck. Some harassment and argument is simply miscommunication, and where there is potential for ambiguity it is a good idea to check that what someone meant to say is what you think they said. Better still get a neutral admin to look the incident over, occasionally when you say "did you mean this meaning or that meaning of that word" the response will be "whoops, typo, I meant this other word". That said harassment does exist, and there are limits on free speech, and a non-government website can choose to require a level of politeness that would be a freedom of speech violation if this was a Public Highway in the USA.
