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?

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. |

In local you know exactly who is present, unless you were in a Wormhole.
Seeing you can tell who is the 18 year old girl from the 50 year old guy from a list of names, any chance of this weekends lottery numbers? |

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! |

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.
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. |

Obviously first time offenders receive a warning. I do not know what happens with repeated offenders. What would you like them to do? Banhammer someone instantly for offending your delicate sensibilities?
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'. |

Yep, I completely agree in an isolated group of friends. But would you walk into a bar and use the same language?

I think you'd find that you would go to court, find they have all given each other alibis, and you would be charged for racial abuse. |

Yep, not what I expected at all.
They are all coming out of their little racist closets. |
