I mean if you are going to go down the dark paths, at least get the steps right! Though if the user/person/member seems to be doing nothing but getting jolly off the EC tags and EC competitions without really adding any art or even getting more crafted, then it would not be amiss to politely take them aside and ask them to cool off. Or even give them some pointers on how to make their stuff worthy of the EC tag.
What about such assclowns who purposely bypass EC tagging their pornographic stream of consciousness garbage written with all the tact of a 9 year old craving attention from everyone on the school bus that is not limited to references of children masturbating? And .000001% chance of redemption?
I would definitely pay money to see them bitchslapped by a Mod. Hard.

They get purged by better Mods than I, for free. They are quietly removed and exercised not like a demon or cancer but like dust on a carpet: a minor annoyance easily swept aside. Though actually, I could not tell you what happens to them. The Ministry of Information and Art Reclamation have not decided to enlighten us as to their eventual 'destiny'. Though personally even a 1 in a million chance of redemption is still worthwhile, though maybe through a way that has better odds. I have just been informed by the Ministry what happens to them, a fate far worse than death: they have to read all my posts and provide sources for all the references. Accursed souls indeed.
Actually they get found out sooner or later and get the EC tag slapped on their stuff at the very least, with either a time ban or permanent ban on top as punishment for perverting the cause of poetry.

The first paragraph of your reply severely exasperated me to the point of reaching for my Duracel Powered Portable Death Ray.

what if my entry is extremely mundane? It is extreme nonethless albeit of a different kind.

Does gay bashing warrant an EC warning?
Personally, I suggest an EC Warning + a kick to the balls.

You would think somebody railing against people for behaving like Nazis wouldn't be so blind to their own prejudices.

I believe a ratings system similar to moving ratings, but self applied, would be much more useful than a blanket EC.
And Johnny, rather than a kick to the balls, how about a competing moral/philosophical argument? That way the people who follow the link you've left to this offensive crap will see your argument as well, make their own comparisons and possibly have something positive to walk away with?

I think I summed up my thoughts rather nicely in the comment I left.
There are other people who have more time and energy to combat sheer human idiocy like this.
I used up my quota back when the Internets was still fresh.

Is it considered hate speech if you hate the intolerantly ignorant?

Currently a 'Stupid Content' tag is unavailable. As such members are reminded to use their own sense: if you find something you do not like then do not encourage it or engage it head on but ignore it. If you do not like it as it defies rationality or humanity by being nonsensical or offensive then please inform the Mods and an Inquisition will be done if necessary.
Though if memory serves then http://deepundergroundpoetry.com/poems/238467-there-s-more-to-life-peter-kyle-than/ should receive a EC tag if anything for its offensive language. But I may be wrong about that being a warrant for the EC, searching the forums leads to the idea of this piece being allowed to have freedom of speech.
"Is it considered hate speech if you hate the intolerantly ignorant?"
- Surely the answer is in your question: it is based on hate and therefore hate speech. The Stupid hate; the wise educate.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
fight fire with fire and stupid with stupid
It says so in the Bible!

An eye for an eye makes us all blind. And you should really think for yourself and to better yourself.

I use the extreme content warning sparingly, because for some works of mine, it seems necessary. I write whatever I feel like writing and sometimes it is extremely morbid or inappropriate. And if someone is following my works, then most likely, they are not easily offended by dark subject matter.
