Racism/discrimination policy

[Volcs]

Wow. Totally threadjacked. Er, anyway, this is just an effort to get the thread back onto serious discussion about a real issue, rather than a catfight (there are other forums for that, people). Lot of interesting points up till the third page. Personally, I'm with Hairygroin



Especially the idea about custom obscene filters.
What do other people think about having them in?

I think there are more pressing matters for people to think about. If you don't want to hear "fuck", "bitch" or racist words then turn on obscene; if you do, keep it off.. who cares about anyone in between?

Theres a line to be drawn on what is and isn't allowed. I think staff needs a better understanding of the racism policy. Staffers should decide based on the context of the message not just the word used. In the coming weeks we will be going over the policy and making sure all staff is clear about it.

GOOD IDEA ! And then I can get a get-out-of-jail free card.
Bastard cunts banned me for using a racist word OUT of context. I'm gonna pull a double-fucking jeopardy. B)

I'm all for the leniancy on people saying jew and words like that in different context. It bugs me when people are warned for saying things like 'my brother is a jew' and things like that. If they said 'we should all kill jews, it will be fun' now that is completely different.

However, If someone says jew or ni**er on it's own, on one lines you can only assume that this person is trying to:

a) Get attention.
b) Be a subspace rebel.
c) Trying to offend people over the internet.

All of which, should be punished in a warn / ban as appropriate.

Conservative roaches.

This is all well and good but when i got banned for saying the word jew in context describing an area where i live i was banned for a month.

You do the right thing and email the person dealing with bans, who then says tuff luck, you had a previous warning so suck up the ban you MUST be in the wrong.

Wow that's a fair procedure for banning people.

Overstrand also has a nice way of dealing with people he does not want to help, he ignores any emails or requests for a fair hearing.

I might just hack a zone I heard thats only a week ban.

Tarnished point is good and i totally agree. If I wanna hurt someone, why not call him with the word staff has told not to say? Yeah, that'll teach him. Im a cool guy. I break the rules .Thats what my brother would say. If someone calls me a homo i get just as pissed as if someone would call me a N__. Those words cant be compared but they are both as bad. And that example.. If i tell someone that he is black in game should i get banned? NO! why should i? Is black a racist term? Wow, this racism thing has gone way too far.

EDIT: I'll just leave this topic alone because it's already been said that staff is discriminatory in handling racism calls.

list of females i've "harped on": Telcat, Goddess and Pandagirl.. wow, 3. Meanwhile I get along with Crystal, Ayden, I.D., Typhoid, demonic.. which are the only girls I really know of that aren't idiots.

Funny thing is ... Dark Mistress and I are the only 2 TW girls who have professional jobs.

Feel free to ditch me while my career takes of ... and oh, good luck with you career @ fast food restaurants :bigups:

Nice assumption, I'm a receptionist as of right now which is a damn good job considering the fact that I'm 17 years old.

Congratulations, you have a professional job. Ayden, ID and I are all under the age of 20 You can't compare yourself to young girls/women because you don't fall into the same category. With your "professional job" shouldn't you have something better to do than play a spaceship game with a bunch of teenagers?
By the time I'm 30 (which is your age, I'm assuming by the pictures) I expect to have a career aswell.


BTW Telcat, I remember you calling me fat... what happened to you calling yourself a size 4 was it?
http://gallery.trenchwars.org/telcate1.jpg not the tiniest anymore, eh Telcat? Puttin on some pounds you hypocritical whore?
I don't blame you for looking so bloated though, you look like you've got some sort of obstruction in your intestines (that's the only reasonable explanation I can come up with for that stupid look on your face)


Someone ban this stupid cunt again..

[tahkis]

Wow totally pwned her. gg

[Volcs]

You'll note in all of those pics, she cuts them off at her tits. Whether this is to hide her pudge or to flaunt her tits, I'm not quite sure.. but for argument's sake I'll assume both.
If she's willing to show some tit to impress people online, god only knows what she'd do for a job..

So Telcat, where's your professionalism now?

[Ezor]

On the corner.
