If I ask a question that offends people, what would Mahalo do about it?

Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

We'd likely answer it. I can't speak for everyone here, but it is my personal opinion that it is every individuals choice whether or not to be offended by something. In America, there are many who just LOVE being the "victim", and so get "offended" by everything.
I think the Mahalo community is a slightly tougher breed. We are veterans of the founding of the interwebs as we know them. We fought in the Browser wars, Flame wars, and Troll wars. We've seen the best and worst that the anonymity of the web can produce, and are, frankly, numbed by it. Deliberate attempts to offend us end in, well, being ignored, at best, and being ignored, at worst. Yes, I said "being ignored" twice. That's what we do.

Thank you for responding to the "NSFW" question. I love this answer. Do you think I could add you to my "contacts" list?

Thanks for the "best" pick. Bear in mind, though, that I'm just a user. If I were a moderator or staff, I'd likely have a much different opinion :)

Depends on whether it adds value to the site or not. If you offend someone while asking a reasonable question then it will be left up and people can discuss it. If you ask a question for the sole purpose of offending someone then I will probably be taking it down.

If its a NSFW question it should be moved to the NSFW category and if its way off the wall maybe it should be removed.

If the question is downright obscene (e.g. what's the best way to traffic humans for sex slavery?) we will absolutely block it, deactivate the account, and possibly contact the proper authorities.

However, if your question simply offends a user's sensibilities (e.g. where can I find nude pics of *someone*), as long as it's in the proper category, we'll keep it up.

No matter what question you ask people will get offended. But there are question that have the sole purpose of offending people. I am not sure what Mahalo would do. Just use good judgement and I am sure you'll be fine.
