Tracy Han Viziam Amarr Empire 0	Posted - 2013.02.11 19:45:00 - [1] - Quote Ok, I recently encountered an incident of racism in System Local chat. I found the language used racist and entirely offensive, so I petitioned it. I immediately (fastest petition reply I have every received) got a message back to say it would be investigated, no feedback would be given and the petition was closed. Having just seen the 'person' (used lightly) fly through local, I can only assume that the 'person' received nothing more than a slap on the wrists and a thank you for continuing to subscribe. I guarantee I'd get more of a punishment if I named and shamed the 'person' though. I don't expect people to name and shame, but am I the only one to feel that this persistent problem is not met with a harsh and public punishment?

Tracy Han Viziam Amarr Empire 0	Posted - 2013.02.11 19:48:00 - [4] - Quote How does everyone else feel about the 'N' word? I appreciate that between friend it does not carry the same meaning, but when used in Local, where you do not know who is present, it is offensive.

I appreciate that between friend it does not carry the same meaning, but when used in Local, where you do not know who is present, it is offensive. From what I understand, people who use such language would get a "gag order" if petitioned. Such a "gag order" would last a half hour or so for the first offense, and escalate after that (to eventual banning, I assume). If you're not already part of a bloc, this is the best guy for CSM8.

Whitehound 730	Posted - 2013.02.11 20:00:00 - [12] - Quote Tracy Han wrote: How does everyone else feel about the 'N' word? I wish I could use it, because sometimes there is a use for it. I give you an example: A black fella who lived in my house constantly drank and played loud music, day and night. he did not really live there, had a girl friend who he stayed with, and only came to his room to party. I asked him a few times to turn it down when he asked me: "Are you a racist?" He was drunk, not listening at all and obviously tried to make a joke. I said "I hope not!", but I really wanted to ask him back: "Are you a N**??" It would have been the right response, only it is not appropriate to use the N-word.

Unsuccessful At Everything The Troll Bridge 2034	Posted - 2013.02.11 20:01:00 - [13] - Quote What would OP deem as the necessary 'Harsh and Public Punishment'? Would you like the ISDs to warp in, drag them out of station in their most expensive ship, announce in local for everyone to warp to the station, and then publicly execute them because they used a naughty in local? Id tell OP to HTFU...but id probably get petitioned. *Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?*
Tracy Han Viziam Amarr Empire 0	Posted - 2013.02.11 20:01:00 - [14] - Quote Karl, if you are right, then this falls right into my 'slap on the wrists' category. You get banned for botting and muted for half an hour for racism. That is balanced. Mire, lol, you innocent little thing!

Whoa there, I was thinking more along the lines of naming them, and banning them for 1 - 2 weeks.... but now you mention it, public floggings outside Jita would be an improvement on the local scams.
Arduemont Tempest Legion 1213	Posted - 2013.02.11 20:07:00 - [16] - Quote It works on a strike system. They will get a slap on the wrist, sure... If they do it again that slap might cost them a hand. Sorry, couldn't help myself. I quite like terrible metaphors ^^ Racism does get punished. I've gone ape ** at someone in my alliance who started yelling racist stuff in local. He of course argued back, so I AWOXed him... Twice. Alliance leadership took my side, and then they AWOXed him, and then kicked him from his corp. We then proceeded to camp him into the station so he couldn't get his stuff out. Eventually he tried to make a mad dash in a cloaky Transport ship. We caught him and destroyed everything he owned in nullsec. It was awesome. It is easily the best I have every felt about doing something that could even be labelled griefing. CCP should be harsher on racism I think. Especially the more obvious examples of it. But frankly, if someone is being a **, then get them killed. A whole load of times.

Oh, and welcome to the internet- you must be new here Nope, been here a while, but was obviously brought up with different standards if that sort of language makes me 'delicate'.
Skorpynekomimi 416	Posted - 2013.02.11 20:10:00 - [18] - Quote HTFU, amarr scum. I have far bigger concerns than someone's hypothetical skin colour. You don't know anything about racism anyway. You've never been enslaved, or repressed. You don't know what it's like to be looked down on by a quarter of the galaxy just because of where you were born.

Josef Djugashvilis Acme Mining Corporation 967	Posted - 2013.02.11 20:13:00 - [20] - Quote If anyone was to use the 'N' word to a good friend of mine in real life, they would find that their visit to A&E is proof that the safest place to use such words in on the internet. This is not a signature.

Are you saying that racism shouldn't be punished so harshly? Or are you saying that it is okay if your alliance members are racist? Or perhaps your saying that racism is okay altogether. Racist deserve it. If racists were a race, I would commit racism... but only... wait... "In the age of information, ignorance is a choice."
ArmyOfMe Caldari Provisions Caldari State 136	Posted - 2013.02.11 20:22:00 - [26] - Quote Niggah please Suleiman Shouaa> And you still think you're taking risks? NightmareX> I do. I take risks every day. But i do whatever i can to make sure i'm not ending up in a loss.
Karl Hobb Stellar Ore Refinery and Crematorium 1075	Posted - 2013.02.11 20:22:00 - [27] - Quote Tracy Han wrote: Deal with things with vigilante mob justice. Yes, well, IRL you don't have the option to camp someone into their house and then kill them when they come out (well, you do, but the penalties are much stiffer). There are plenty of non-violent solutions, however. Video Game =/= Real Life. If you're not already part of a bloc, this is the best guy for CSM8.
Desmond Strickler Helghan Imperial Armada Apocalypse Now. 5	Posted - 2013.02.11 20:24:00 - [28] - Quote Is racism punished in the real world? No. So get over it.
Kate stark 95	Posted - 2013.02.11 20:26:00 - [29] - Quote "the bad man on the internet called me a name!" honestly, really?

Racism is something I inherently abhor, but I tend to block offensive people. Not that I'm easily offended.
