Why can I type 'fag' and 'chink' but saying 'n****r' or 'j*w' gets me banned?

[Mr. 420]

If you restrict something, people are more likely to find ways to get away with doing it.

If you police something, then anytime it is done, the punishment should be the same.

More times than not, if you just let it slide, it becomes "not the thing to do" because there is no risk involved with doing it. I agree, you will get people who will do it to an extreme and I believe that is what "*shutup" is for (fitting command too, whoever thought of that one is one sharp mind). Make that the punishment. Silence them for a duration.

Banning should be the LAST OPTION! Except when major rules are broken; lag cheat, software cheat.

I'll bet you 9 out of 10 times, if the offender is dealt with person-ably and without anger, they too will calm down, see the error in their own ways and even sometimes become one who will point out the next time it occurs.

Then again, what do I know... I can only suggest it be tried.

Stopping the restrictions will only encourage attention getters, people who want others to react to their comments.

Sure they won't have friends...but they also won't shut up.

[Ducci]

I just don't see why people have to complain all the time? No rules will ever be perfect. The best we can do is try. It's really up to the people not to say racist things. You can also do ?cheater calls for the words that are racist like "chink" or "fag" which isn't really racist but discrimatory. One simple soulution ep would be to just not say any of them to start with... Then we by-pass this entire problem...

[JabJabJab]

I agree with maverick, but that's why the rules "no spam" and "no disrupting events" come into play.

I like the fact of being safe, but being stagnant on a ever-going situation is a bad thing in itself.

I've always been against banning for racism and especially against extending
bans if the guy was banned for racism earlier. I'm against extended bans in
general if we want to have anyone playing this game (I've seen racists and
teamkillers get banned for months and that's just out of all proportion). Racists
can be silenced but why should we kick them out? Banning for evading the
silence to me is ok, because at the current system we can't silence aliases.

Racism is actually one of the most talked about topics in private staff forums,
putting it to an open discussion wouldn't hurt because we doing the rules for
your enjoyment.

Great staff...I got warned for calling violence a spic...but his player didn't get a warning for calling Paky a brown skin. Paky may not have cared, but I did. Got silenced for calling Tyler a n*g after he left arena while I was in the middle of discussing what happened. Fuck staff. Not going to be a pussy and not speak my mind on shit, but to leave arena while I'm talking to you, straight up ho shit, Tyler. SMD.

This is just another example of how Staff cant track down actual racism. They cant see and they dont care about the context or how a person was actually racist because they only depend on the bots. Tyler comes to arena and silences Rasaq without listening to what he is actually saying. Orgazmo gets away by calling Paky a brown skin but Rasaq is silenced/warned for calling someone a spic?!(which btw was in retaliation to the brown skin comment, so Orgazmo should be dealt with in the same way, otherwise Staff and this game loses the little credibility they had to begin with)

Doesnt this count as racism?

[Paky Dude]

I was asking Tyler for help till when he did the same thing to Rasaq. In the middle of my questions, leaves to an AFK arena. Look at screen-shots below. USELESS staff, I really start to wonder WHY our zone is dieing. It's run by ignorant staff like Tyler.

[genocidal]

Nobody cares here, go whine in-game where someone might care.

[Sube]

Fucking ridiculous, everyone get a life and act like a man, u cant control racism unless u silence everyone. thats that. Police it! Not hard! Tyler suck my john thomas, u sucked in Halo and now here, reality check needed for u....arrogant piece of shit. I got banned for saying the n-word in a friendly way, absolute bollox.

...getting banned for racism in ?chat=TWD is pretty funny, too.

Why is this funny???????????


I got a warning because I posted rap lyrics from this black rapper... ara is a big faggot

[freddie]

Ara warned you becuse you used the word nigger? No need to whine since you knew it was not tolerated. It was his job, since rules currently says you are not allowed to say it. You just wanted to shoot the messenger.

This post is also great example how Im getting warned for racism when I wasnt racistic at all. (But Im fine with the warning cause I clearly broke the rules).

[soup]

No you are wrong, I knew there was N$$$$$ in it so I edited it but it didn't show the whole message so there was still 1 left.

And that's not the reason why I got banned.

[Jason]

i smoked a fag.
there was a chink in his armor.

can't really think of clever ways to use the other two. someone help me out.
