Then why even have a deport button? Why not allow shills, doomers, and bad actors to flood the forums? Why not allow Chinese troll farms to outnumber us and quell our conversations?
Forums establish rules for a reason unless you want to end up like 2006 youtube comments.
Communities sprawl up becauase they have a vision and purpose, not to be a wild west of insults, misinformation, and attacks.

You're conflating two different issues. If someone posting here is being disrespectful, insulting, or just a very blatant shill, they were already likely to be deported. This special rule for the N-word didn't need to be stipulated and it gives the appearance of favoritism towards a particular demographic by singling it out. If it's such a prevalent issue, why not say that there's zero tolerance for any racial slur? Or better yet, just warn everyone about the uptick in shills using the N-word and to report them whenever you see it? If the mods realize that this is a concerted effort by shills, why direct threatening and accusatory language at all users in general?

The concern is that this sudden and specific rule could very well be the herald of further restrictions. To reiterate my previous post, if the shills know that their actions can influence the mods, where might things go from here? Will we soon not be able to discuss the many crimes of the Rothschilds or George Soros for fear of being banned for supposed antisemitism?
Also, YouTube comments are still trash.

You're correct. As it stands, I've seen very little of such negativity here.
You're getting downvoted but you're 100% right. This forum is not our property, and it's not public property. We have the right to say what we want here, but equally, the property owner has the right to remove us.
There's a time and a place for everything. This forum has zero place for highlighting race outside of criticizing the opposition's utilization of race.
If the shills ultimately determine what can and cannot be said, this won't be a place of opening minds for very long.
