      But he should have a warning .. Like Veh said allot of staff abuse and talk trash. And take being staff for granted. There should be something done about staff calling people names/harrassing players..

          this statement is true. that is why i think the TW staff should lighten up on racism and stuff because it probably provokes people more. however, that is neither here nor there. my point here is that regardless of usage, i believe that using 'homo' in a derogatory manner is just as bad as calling someone a 'black' or various other and more racist comments. just because TW is diversified among ethnicities but not sexualities doesn't mean we should allow homophobic remarks but not racist ones. i'm not saying dimboy should be punished though first of all because he wasn't on his staff name and second of all because i seriously doubt anyone was genuinely offended by it but i would just like to point out that 'homo' is just as bad as 'n*gg*r'.

            Too funny.. Ice Storm you try way too hard sometimes. ^_^ We all know you want staff, too. Since you PM every staff member 30 times a day with 'Hi.' Eheh. Stop compiling other peoples' posts into yours to make it look like you know everything? ^_^

            [EDIT]

            Rabbit Rapist was axed for admitted use of racism, and also immaturity on staff chat.

              Agreed.

              Racism and hate towards gay people (even if it wasn't meant in that context, still has it's effect) are in the same bucket. All you have to do is think, why do people hate gay people and other ethnic groups. We are afraid of what is different so we lash out with voilence/hate.

              The use of the word has become the norm, therfore its hard to place restrictions/punishment on people who would use it. Best idea is to use disgression, esc q works best .

                It's nice all of you shouting racism and bringing this up, if you look carefully I don't see ANY racism.

                However, there aren't many gay people in Trench Wars, if there are, I apologise, if there are any gay people in Mambo, I apologise even more, but my guess, there isn't so I don't see a problem.

                  How so? n***er is just damn right offensive and is illegal.

                  I doubt calling someone a homo comes under Sexual harrasment.

                  And homo can have lots of ending and meanings such as Homophobic, which is not offensive AT ALL.

                          Making sweeping generalizations about anything only reflects a lack of intelligence and experience. Anyone that has much worldly experience knows why… no one group in the world has a monopoly on the assholes or the ‘good’ people. Therefore, one sure way to be wrong and look stupid is to perpetuate generalizations that are surely wrong by their very nature. It doesn’t matter if you are referring to their color, sexuality, religion, political affiliation, or age.

                          I also believe that the staff should be held to a higher level of standards. They are supposed to represent the game and, as such, should avoid behavior that will reflect badly upon the TW. (I also feel the same way about squad members. Once you join a squad, your behavior reflects upon a larger group of people and should we should tailor our behavior accordingly.)

                          Now, all this dribble having been said, what Dim said wasn’t a good thing, but hardly ranks as a federal crime. Dim should simply acknowledge it wasn’t a good thing and try to refrain from similar situations in the future. Saying ‘sorry’ would show that he is a classy and mature guy, saying that he’ll try not to go there again would show that he is also a intelligent guy.

                            I have two friends who just received a large settlement with a company who representative had left a phone message on their answering machine.
                            In this message the caller called them "homos". The person was fired and my friends got some fairly big bucks out of it. Please understand, I am not saying that this is a good thing or not, but simple that this is the way it is.

                            As someone who has a fair amount of people reporting to him, I would not tolerate anyone in my company using language like that, it definitely exposes the company for sexual harassment. Or more precisely, allowing a 'hostile environment' to develop.
                            Again please note, I am not agreeing or disagreeing with the laws and whether it’s possible to stop discrimination through legislation. I’m just stating the way things are.

                              Yeah, okay, I understand, I was wrong, acknowleddged this, and won't happen again.

                              Your friends were harrased in real life, this was done on the internet, Im not saying its right, but its just another word to put others down that is used everyday whether you are gay or not.

                                He's 13, it's not dimboys fault.

                                Its the people that assumed he would act differently to this when put on staff....

                                Staff should not go around talking shit and calling people names, your in a position of responsibility and therefor you should show restraint while playing.

                                This is a pretty lame thread, the person shuda just made a private complaint and let it take its natural course.

                                Ice Storm03 - you are one fuking arsehole. I have read some of your ass-licking posts and you really need to get a life dude. No doubt you will eventually get on staff (for all the wrong reasons) and fit right in.
