Change to Racism Rules

[Demonic]

"pussy" is now on obscene.txt, so names with it are no longer allowed. This is a side effect of the new racism rule, as most things are instead added to the obscene.txt (some of which I can't even understand WHY they are on it).

Aye needs a cleanup, I will sort that out in a bit

IN saying that, nothing has been added to obscene yet, so I don't see why he cant login now, and certainly has nothing to do with obscene heh

[Shaddowknight]

Are you sure nothing was added yet? If he WAS able to log in before, but not now, what else would cause it?

[Exalt]

exalt, are you schizophrenic? You either write a post supporting staff and saying we're trying our best in well written english and the next post you go off effing and blinding and saying staff are terrible and incapable and throw in different texts and lots of !!!!

Wouldn't this mean bipolar rather than skitzo? T0ne is skitzo lol. I'm just bipolar on the internet. It happens.

[Exalt]

this will change the face of this game forever!!!

blackface?

wait... I can't say pussy anymore in trenchwars? How else am I going to explain the female sexual organs to all the virgins? Clitoris and Labia and Vagina are also banned too? What about penis? That too? Is dick banned? Cock? Shlong? Balls? Nuts? Poor Deez Nuts.

This is pretty funny. I CAN log in with the name "Electric Vagina," but I CAN'T log in with the name "clownpenis.fart."

[Shaddowknight]

Penis is obscene, haven't you got the memo?

There are some words that honestly have no reason being on the obscene list: yehg, Holocaust, Nazi, Bastard (random insult, no more obscene or meaningful than "Moron" IMO), Redneck (the "obscenity" of this one is highly subjective, and 99%% not offensive [Jeff Foxworthy would like to say hello]), Uckfay (igpay atinlay isay inway), and many more.

For years we had Oen Izan flying around without anyone saying anything. I’m confused.

[Shaddowknight]

Yeah, Demonic had said it needs a good cleanup, and I don't see how removing some of those would be harmful.
I understand why many are there, and can figure some others out still. It just seems some random things were added because they CAN be offensive (Nazi, Holocaust) if used in certain context, but are not offensive/racist by default.

I vote for the words "you" and "is" on the list as they are most used in combination with racist or obscene comments like "you ***" or "x is a ***".

Trench Wars is turning into a japanese pornagraphy... We can all use giant twisty straws to suck live fish out of each others assholes and cover our women in a suspiciously white sugar substance, but god forbid my penis is visible because genitals are just wrong.

Well as long as I don't add newb or noob etc or we will be in silence everyday.

Not in favor of this change.

I don't see how we can't let someone with the name PENISGOBBLER in the game, yet we allow people like oderus urungus to spam "fuck all gooks, useless fucks" or "dumb fucking kike"

I turn obscene off because this game is almost nonfunctional with it on. Shaddow listed a few, but even words like 'gay' or 'shit' are blocked. I thought the system we had in place previously was fine.

GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS SYSTEM!!! :-)

lol those words have always been on obscene for some god unknown reason, certainly not changed due to what this racism policy was about. I am unsure who actually added them but I would love to find out. Started systematically removing the stupid ones, and just leaving the obvious ones on there.
