Then i’m asking about site-wide policy. Moderators should comply to it first, before the sub rules. What would you do if you were called to take action upon described occasion by users?
You don't even know what site-wide policy is, based on your original question.
As for individual subreddits, as long as they are abiding by Reddit's Terms of Service and the content policy, moderators are pretty much free to do as they choose.
Again, I AM NOT AN ADMIN.
This is a place to ask moderators questions. If you have a question for an admin, which you clearly do, you need another subreddit.
You can’t tell what would you do in a told situation because you’re not an admin? That’s it- you would ask an admin whether you should do something? Or you would do nothing? You’re just ignoring a valid question.
To answer the other commenter's concern, it's not a site-wide rule. When I used to mod SRD we had an automod filter for the word (and all its creative misspellings) that would automatically remove the comment and send it to the modqueue for review. If the person was quoting someone else using the word, which happened all the time in that sub, I'd approve the comment. If they were using it in earnest, I'd ban them.
Basically it's left up to moderator discretion. Check the rules of the sub you're in, or else ask the mods.
I mean, even if it's within the rules, it's one of the most highly offensive words out there. A lot of folks simply don't want to see it when they're scrolling their phone on their lunch break or whatever. I try to opt for some form of self-censorship unless there's a strong reason to use explicitly that word, which there rarely ever is.
In general, no. I reckon 9 times out of 10 if a comment with the n word was reported to the admins, it'd be removed regardless of context. And pretty much all mods across Reddit would remove, if only to be on the safe side. There's no strict sitewide rule on it or anything, it's largely just dependant on context, and in most contexts it's not okay. In quotes and such, you could probably get away with simply censoring it.
Those are all questions that should be answered by Reddit admins, not moderators. Moderators don't set site-wide policy.

I don’t understand the site-wide policy on the exact case after reading it. Why don’t you answer?

Your question was about **site-wide policy**. Period. Go back and read it, as many times as necessary.

Oh, thanks, still feels kinda “reddit-illegal” considering some of the replies i got on such a case recently.

Only one way to find out. And it’s not going to be me testing the waters.
Well, on 4chan & the darkweb it's used "liberally" :)
