It's not unheard of. In Spain for example they have rules like this. There was a Warhammer tournament last year where a guy turned up in a nazi hoody, put his name down as Austrian Painter and basically dared his opponents to concede rather than play against him. They couldn't kick him out of the event because he was threatening to sue over freedom of expression laws.

On the face of it, that seems to put the onus on the forum owner to allow a level of freedom of expression equivalent to general UK law. You know, the legal framework that allows these fascist mofos to demonstrate in the streets:
That's a griefers' charter if ever these was one.

Given this was penned by the last government I imagine that this whole section might be interesting: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/50/section/22/enacted
If the forums terms of service forbid being irritating about say right wing politics, is that breaching someone’s freedom of expression or do TOS trump OSA?
