Isolated groups build themselves into an enclave where any and all can be attacked, unless there is a vigilant group of moderators in rapid contact with the correct higher level, to chastise/punish/delete one or more offenders. On Reddit with throw-away accounts they will soon be back, but even the strongest mole slinks away after a few whacks. The solution is enough paid mods in enough numbers that the 1/2 life of a racist comment is only seconds, and only then will the PITA of creating throw-aways that die in seconds/minutes exceed the venal pleasure the racists get from it - they are, after all, not that smart - smart people have lives and better things to do. Sadly more paid mods = more $$ and $$ are not limitless, so we get the current standoff. Solution - decrease utility of new accounts, perhaps with referrals, so if an account has a referral from a known good member, he can read at the start and post after 1...n days. Then if he gets banned, the referrer gets a (short) ban -1 week?. They will soon learn not to hand out referrals to goons. It is an analog of war, you can use 'economic methods' to chastise until the proper behaviour results, which whack, short ban, longer ban - nuclear ban = never let back. A lot of this could be boticised, and I think it could work within the current $$ restraints.
