Why I got banned

[Fit of Rage]

It's not as easy as that, Veh. Moderators of squad forums aren't technically forum staff, so we don't have powers outside our individual forums.

Technically you have mod powers on the forum, so you close it yourself.

Technically, he doesn't Hes Mod in Cripples forum, he would have to be a SuperModerator to close a thread in this forum.

it's obvious this thread has lost its original meaning, so i second the notion to close it.

Cracker has been used so much that it doesn't really offend someone and if you're offended then maybe you should take a more relaxed approach to the game and life. All racist words can be used so much that it doesn't have an affect or as much as one. I bet in all of Trench War's history there was maybe one black guy who got offended by someone saying the N word which is sad compared to the number of players that have been banned for using the N word.

10$ on that guy being nasir

sry nasir i <3 u yet =p

I'm guessing that just because it is used alot means it's not offending. But people don't get banned for saying homo or fag, when that is punishable by law in some states (or at least schools).

EDIT: I mean punishable by law meaning fined for saying it, some stupid kid called a teacher a fag, and was slapped with a fine and a 2 week suspension. We don't like nay-sayers in our school.

That's a very naive way to dismiss the issue of racism.

If you all stopped caring there wouldn't be a problem, or a thread, or a reason for me to check this thread every day just so i can move it to Useless crap as soon as it strays too much.

I'm sorry but if everyone laughed at racism rather then taking offence to every other word someone says then maybe people wouldn't be so angry. And I'm not saying that if you're not black and someone calls you the N word you shouldn't complain about it. It's just funny how a white person or an asian person takes offence to someone calling them an insult which doesn't even insult them.

Excuse the cliche of referring to Hitler as a example, but should people ignore what he did if they weren't Jews?

Let's put it on less grandiose terms then.
You don't have to be the target of a racist act to feel insulted by it. To except racism just because it's not your group that's being targeted is naive, because it could very well be yours that is next on the list. It's not like how a mother tells her child to ignore a bully and he will go away, (and we all know that that doesn't even work). Just the fact that some racist comments are considered to be acceptable is a sign of the problem, not a reason to ignore it more.
