UNBAN or don't, you should reevaluate your policies. Options

[Outraged Duff]

So one of your dutiful admins took upon themselves to ban me from all =SM= servers for chivalry. No this isn't a please unban me thread although i can see by these forums that this isn't an uncommon event.

This thread was created to question your entire approach with regards to moderation and how much it contradicts the very nature of the online community, and especially competitive multiplayer gaming.

If my memory serves me i was banned, cited as being racist. The actual 'racism' was my friends, and me being me i decided to stick up for my friend. I argued that merely saying the 'n' word does not make it racist. One of your admin informed me that saying the word makes anybody a racist. I counter argued by saying he had just used that word, therefore must also be a racist. To which they replied 'no' and promptly kicked me for being racist. Now may come across as smart ass -like on my part but it surely not kick and ban worthy?

People will be people, and gamers gamers. People will say stupid things, swear, trade insults, etc... you could police them, but it appears to me that you are rather heavy handed at it. I can accept that when i play online games, language, racism and homophobia invariably will happen. If i don't like that i would mute said players or switch of chat entirely. You are not the moral arbiters of the Chivalry community, you run a server. I stand by what i said because i know that I am not racist and wasnt trying to be deliberatly provactive about it either.

I will always use coarse language and occasionally fling insults around. Any other game this is accepted, i haven't ever been banned from any online game for the over 10 years i have been playing video games. For some reason Chivalry is different, i have lost count of the number of servers i have been banned from. Mostly i guess from rubbing people up the wrong way, or just friendly fire. At the end of the day i just want to play the game and have fun, and i am only writing this to appeal to your better nature to revert my ban and stop being so aggressive in banning other people.

There are very few good servers for Chivalry, i regarded yours as one of them until this unfortunate incident.

Going back to the term "Nigger" I would seriously like to smash this "Racist" quote on the head for all those people that actually find this racist you may be shocked to find out it generally isn't a racist term, examples: slaughterhouse house rules a brand new song by a rap group mentions "yes niggers we're back again" as their introduction line I would like to know if they we're to log into these amazing servers would you ban them? Eminem is also well known for his use of the term niggers and word nigger so would you ban him?

As admins it's not your place to decide if nigger as a racial word or not that is for the legal system and until they officially say nigger is racist it's not so please go back to filtering hackers and other abusive players and team killers.

Also if anyone throws abuse at me do I have the right to claim they are discriminating against me because I'm disabled seeing as I have Aspergers, If you want to play touchy with nigger then I can play ball with that surely?

Just remember it's not your job to enforce a law that isn't legally there let because I doubt anyone that admins these servers knows anything about laws and I wouldn't be shocked if one or more of you has voted for a "racist" party before so maybe you should include a full background check on the admins?
