Religion and Race

[Capital Knockers]

Alright I'm not trying to be a rebel here, so keep your guns in your holsters wadi/rodge. I just want to know where you guys draw the line? I saw that guy talking about his name 'JEWISHPOWER' or whatever and I'm curious. Does TW Staff treat Religious issues the same as race issues? Are there certain differences that effect how you deal with these issues?

Someone with a clearly offensive name 'n*gsetcetc' would be warned and taken care of. Although, a name like 'JEWISHPOWER' seems less offensive, if it's even offensive at all. For example, would a name like 'Jewkid2004' be offensive? What about 'Christianman99'? Where do you draw the line with Religious matters, and how does TW Staff relate it to racism issues?

If this post is in danger of being closed, please just edit it instead so it can remain open to debate, and I'd like to see some staff input too.

common-sense and prudence says who is racist and who isnt

That's the first damn thing I've seen schope say that makes sense and is thought through.

Although we have guidelines, there is no 'line' as such. There is judgement however, a staffer has common sense (insert rebel saying staffers dont here). If a guy is running around with the n-word in his name, he's warned, he's gone. If a guy is running around with JEWISHPOWER, we have to ask. Is he promoting any racist thoughts or anything like that? JEWISHPOWER is a bad example because there are other names which are alot harder to think about, but we manage through it. You very rarely see anyone in TW with racist names that can not be mistaken for anything but racial hatred etc, because they're sorted out. (Except Oen Izan, and I won't even go into that)

Also, people that like to push rules. EG: ?squadcreate=I HATE NIGHTS, so it looks in F2 like something else are also dealt with.

So would a name like "ThereIsNoGod" or "God=Dead" be ok? Where's the line between "God=Dead" and "N*g=Die"?

Probably quoted it from google or something.

The line is where the moderator draws it.

You cant say the word Jew in TW yet alone anything else attached to the word Jew. Currently serving a months ban for saying to a Jew go read the forums. Bewarned.

Well this is exactly what the problem seems to be. Different moderators have different personalities, and would therefore draw lines at different places. If there were certain guidelines that moderators had to follow for these situations, that were clearly in view, there would be less problems. The Staff would be more professionalized if they had more guidelines to follow, rather then just handling matters differently everytime and that upsetting certain people.
