They are on the AlternateHistory.com message board, so it's not unheard of for a reasonable level-headed forum to enact such a rule.

Had this forum been around 50 years ago, on what day would the racial segregationists have been banned? MLK's assassination?

The moment it was no longer mainstreamed (as in social acceptable to support).

That's incredibly hard to define and varied from state to state. But we can all agree that hypothetical 1950s message boards would have allowed segregationists to post, but at some point they would have been banned. At some point we'll cross that same point for gay marriage, and I think you can at least argue that we're already there. I think there's a better than 50% chance that SSM will be legal in all 50 states while Obama is still president, so maybe that will be the day.
