Your name implies illicit drug use, I am very offended.

[DiMe]

Nice example Dime
How childish
Im not trying to get anyone banned but prevent people from leaving our shard because our community looks like a buncha ignoramuses. You stated earlier that if I dont like it quit thats exactly what I dont want to see happen. Even if you are my enemy I like the fact your here and are a active player. I hope this shard grows and this type of behavior stands in the way of true growth.

Because it is lol. Bunch of kids going OMG PWNT KILLED N***** PWNT PWNT PWNT on the forum IRC and in game.

OP, its people like you that are responsible for the world becoming a gigantic nanny state, where no one is allowed to voice their opinion without being punished. I am not racist or sexist or anything, but if someone wants to be ignorant and say the "n word", that's their right as an individual. Likewise, if a black man called me whitey or cracker, I would be offended, but I would respect his right to say whatever he wants.

Also, if GMs somehow tried to censor text in-game or in IRC, it opens up a GIGANTIC can of worms for them to deal with. Give the GMs a break and stop being such a sissy. I find it hilarious that someone with the name "Bong Hit" complains about racist language..what if someone else is offended by drugs or marijuana? Should you have to change your nickname because of that?

At the same time you said we are supposed to be able to voice our opinion you just told people they shouldn't voice their opinion about you voicing your opinions. Opinions and name calling are not the same. No matter how you try to justify it.

PS: To another post, I would rather be a bleeding heart than a cold hearted monster. Everyone is always going on about how they wanna change the world.....but at the first signs of change they complain about it being against some 200 year old ruleset written by people with slaves.

i dont really mind i a person calls me a or if they call others a nigger for you it would be the worst thing to ever happen for me it would be tuesday.

[marmalade]

racism and sexism are both just signs of immense ignorance. censor them if you take offense. i just laugh.

[GuardianKnight]

Let's just all agree that Racism here is fine. Thread end.

[Derrick]

A better closing note would I think be that failure to forcibly prohibit something doesn't grant an endorsement of it.


Any other logic would justify me deleting any post on this board that i don't like, or maybe only ones that I really don't like; which is a completely subjective rule.

I would consider adding a server side word filter if anyone would like to offer up a list of naughty words.

This is a MMORPG and to make sure everybody plays nice with each other Derrick would have to completely re-write this shard to make a land in which no one can do anything bad to anyone else. Wait, that was done already, yup I believe it was called Trammel and it killed UO. So I guess if everyone wants to make a perfect little world that caters to "playing nice" with one another then let's have a "bring back Trammel" poll.

I don't like the immature assholes running around this shard any more than I enjoy hearing their weak-ass attempts at trash talk and griefing, but to censor them would open up a pandora's box of issues as far as where do you draw the line with censorship on this shard?

Cant you simply squelch other players in-game, as well as create your own client filter for speech?

People can't be expected to take personal responsibility for this. The only solution is to take up a "cause" and demand "justice" until all of everyone's whiney little demands are satisfied.

Tbh...i was just joining in on the conversation. While it's taboo for anyone in my family to use racial slurs, i really don't care either way on the internet. People on the internet are just nasty and it will never be changed until china finally plays it's final card in the secret takeover of America.

I live in the South and I put up with alot of racial slurs daily from ignorant rednecks....the best i can do is friendly methods of slowly fixing them. You can't confront people like that , so the best method is to get them to like you and then alter their perception.

[Stranger]

here are too many people that think they can get away with saying whatever they please.

I thought we had once what was known as freedom of speach? This racism is really stupid and childish just ignore it for god sakes. Its this same kind of stupid mentality that had an investigation launched and a 16 year old kid being arrested and charged for saying "All black people leave walmart" I mean give me a break. There isnt this much investigation put into a non high profile murder, yet a child is arrested for saying that wtf kind of society is this. If he'd have said all white people leave everyone would have laughed at it would have never even made the damn news. Grow up and get over it who cares.

Why add what's already built in?

Paperdoll -> Options -> Filter Options (bottom right)

Done.
