oooo warns me for "triggering bots"

[kthx]

So, this has turned into a racism argument instead of a innocent people silenced and warned for having a conversation about an ESPN article argument. Wrong!

Mobey, if I had just logged in for the first time, and all I see is racial slurs thrown left and right, I would quit and never play the game again. There's a lot of shit on the internet. Goatsee is on the internet. Doesn't mean we should have an LVZ of some old man bending over spreading his gaping asshole apart as a fucking greet message.

[renzi]

mobey putting it plain and simple

[Zeebu]

ban everyone for excessive faggotry

[Mobey]

C 1:Mobey> racism should just be legal
C 1:Mobey> this game is dying, how many people have quit over being called a n****r? 0, how many people have quit due to staff? many
C 1:Mobey> no one cares about racism on the internet
C 1:Mobey> if they did, they wouldn't be on the internet
C 1:Mobey> racism is everywhere
C 1:Mobey> the only reason we have trolls is because we give them troll food i.e racism
C 1:Mobey> tell how one person that has genuinely quit this game because they were offended by racism
C 1:Mobey> you can't
C 1:Mobey> the rule is dumb and out-dated
C 1:Mobey> no one cares anymore
C 1:Mobey> the only other reason i can think why racism is still illegal is to give staff something to do and add to quota
C 1:Mobey> upperstaff are too '90's' to abandon the racism rule
C 1:Mobey> go ANYWHERE on the internet where you can chat in a group and you'll find racism
C 1:Mobey> back to the original point though, the racism rule was made back in 96 or 97, its out-dated and the current social structure of the internet allows for petty racism, its everywhere these days, removing the rule wouldn't make us as low as 4chan
C 1:Mobey> there wouldn't be so much shit though, they'll be a bunch of people saying 'you n****r' for a few days then they'll get bored of it
C 1:Mobey> it should be classed as harassment and like chips said, be put in obscene
C 1:Mobey> obscene is auto on for most players
C 1:Mobey> don't think i've ever seen a REAL racist in TW in all of the time i've been staff
C 1:Mobey> what i mean by real is someone who supports neo-nazism groups like combat18 etc

From staff chat because I'm well too lazy to construct a decent paragraph on why the racism rule should be removed, my two cents.

[kthx]

I expect two things.

1. Don't use personal bias in the decision making process
2. Don't talk back to your elders.

hey lets go play cheese zone and distension

[Miku19]

Do you expect to start getting treated better when you treat everybody like shit?

[kthx]

shut the fuck up fis, got like three useless staffers whining about several useful players here.

[Money]

how much more does this guy have to fuck up before he gets axed? vys would be a better mod

[fiS]

stop acting innocent.

Threatening to quit the game because of getting stomped for a reason is getting kinda old. I just wish you had been constructive about your effort to make trench wars a better place. Instead this just degenerated into another useless "flame staff for all evil" thread. I agree with Vati about removing the automatic racism detection. The only reason I feel using racist remarks is a problem in this zone is because people will always try to break the rules for kicks. If there were no racism rules all you trolls would just tk in pub.

This thread obviously gives a very one-sided look at how things went down. Having heard both sides I think everybody could've just taken it a bit easier, talked it through, and been over it in 15 mins. Without taking sides on what originally happened, I feel like you could've handled what happened after way better than to start trolling in-game and forums. If you had presented your case without all this flame and trolling you might've even got something done.

Also, I find the parallel of "spending a night in jail" kinda funny, because that's exactly what you did.

[kthx]

The key thing to remember here is (see vatican this is why I have to repeat things)

If you aren't making the game a better place, you are making the game a worse place, and staff should never make this game worse by fucking with people who aren't bothering anyone.

About time! Well deserved punishment. Now hopefully you'll realize you're not cool for starting this thread and you can become a respectable player like myself. ~stop ruining the game for people like me and the rest of the community by annoying staff with your childish antics! Continue? ...9...8...7.
