What does it mean when a piece of vocabulary is "frozen"?
Hatebase editors may occasionally "freeze" a specific piece of vocabulary, thereby temporarily preventing further editing. There may be several reasons for this, but in general, vocabulary is frozen when (a) the system detects two or more users reverting each other's definitions rather than trying to compromise on a fair definition, (b) recent edits have become polarized, political or incendiary, and/or (c) Hatebase administrators wish to defer further debate while sourcing a neutral third-party definition.
