additionally, sexist and racist sarcasm is actually rarely humorous and mostly just serves to highlight the general douche qualities of the individual communicating it.

Now, I have linked and said a ton of garbage over the years in EVE channels without anyone actually being bothered by it - especially in the Ships channel (cheers from Hitomi folks) - thus it was quite a surprise to me when I received an official warning over something I have linked which offended somebody else which, according to CCP, violates the EULA

Now I don't disagree with CCPs approach in general but - use your ******* brains mates
Here's the actual quote to get that off the list

n++[ 2013.12.07 18:09:12 ] Tenchuu Khaan > ansonsten, wenn ihr sexistischen Sarkasmus schon nicht versteht dann zumindest rassistischen oder? ;) http://static.fjcdn.com/pictures/Super+Ultra+******+9000.+NOT+OC+Thought+it+was+funny_d99aa8_3671083.jpg

Now, prior to that linking we had a convo on TS which went a bit like this
"Align to new broadcast.... squad warps, squad warps"
And I'm like
"Could a man repeat that please? I'm don't really like taking orders from women"

Which somehow was taken seriously
To point out how it was meant I dropped the line above which translates to:
"Now, if you don't understand sexist sarcasm, what about racist sarcasm? http://static.fjcdn.com/pictures/Super+Ultra+******+9000.+NOT+OC+Thought+it+was+funny_d99aa8_3671083.jpg"

Several hours later I received a neat mail from CCP pointing out that I have linked something which violates the EULA
Since the only other criminal thing I have linked around that time is a song by the Kelly Family, I could only assume that CCP talked about mentioned picture above.

And that pretty much concludes my EVE Adventure for today.
I can only hope that CCP Support Staff gets it through their skull that they were being trolled by a player who exploited the Reporting function and that I'm not a white supremacist trying to recruit pilots for the Ku-Klux Klan :D

So you belong to ku klux klan and still you arent wrong?

CCP please just perma ban this guy, we dont want hus gansgta kind in here.

At least it displays poor taste and/or judgement.

Funny how the trolls that cry to GM's tend to be more offensive and violent then the people they pretend to be bothered by.

CCP would do a great service to the community and themselves by reminding poeple about that amazing /block feature.

In before ISD edits, in before you get another warning or a forum ban.

If you can't see how somebody wouldn't be offended then I feel sorry for you.

Reading isn't about recognizing patterns which ultimately leads to recognizing letters and later on words or sentences. It's about making sense of it.
You Sir, have failed that task and ended up in the "complete retards" section of my contact list. Now **** off and annoy someone else's thread

It's not anyone else's fault that you are too dumb for sarcasm. Nice try though attempting to convince us that it is.

I like EVE.

If it is not coming across as sarcasm, then you're doing it wrong and should adapt your messaging to the receiver.

Also EV is true: derogatory humor rarely comes across as humorous unless the target (at least) takes it literally.

Personally, I think the only suitable punishment for cretins as the OP is to be skinned alive and submerged in fine salt.

So you posted some racist crap in a chat channel and got an official warning ...
and now you want to discuss the GM actions and post the same crap they warned you not to post again?

Very smart.

We might as well blame teachers that our kids aren't geniuses

Of course, a joke is always a dialogue and you have to know your audience in order to drop the right joke at the right time.

It's not like I dropped this thread because somebody didn't laugh at my joke, - I doubt I have to explain that to you.

The matter at hand is that CCP sent me an official warning over something an obvious troll reported... just because it somehow fits the racism line in the EULA. And to remind you, it was in the Fleet channel .

Let me rephrase all that well-said garbage i just spit out: Do you believe that I did try to spread racism and thus I am a threat to the EVE Community?

6.A.5: (...)You may not submit any content to any chat room or other public forum within the Game that is harassing, abusive, threatening, harmful, obscene, libelous or defamatory, encourages conduct that could constitute a criminal offense or give rise to civil liabilities, or is unlawful in any other way, including without limitation the submission of content that infringes on a third-partyGÇÖs intellectual property rights.(...)

Actually, i didn't spread any racism - that's the whole point
Was it politically correct? Hell, no
