being deaf i fully support this thread....
i would also like to point out that there was a competition once, that i was not able to 'access' to stand a chance of winning the prizes due to my inability to hear .....
I have flown with many pilots in the game that have been incredibly understanding of my disability - you guys and girls know who you are <3 you all, whilst there remains a few that have not shown the same level of understanding - testament is the post earlier in this thread 'i am blind need braille' you sir are a sorry state of affairs, and I can only hope CCP see fit to put you in your place for trying to be a smart arse when on the contrary you were being a naive at best and ignorant at worse ....
I have even been called a r.e.tard for not being able to hear ...... yes .. well ... go figure |

Unfortunatley in this day and age that is the way things stand. Do not get me wrong, i do agree with you, as it really doesnt take much effort but they have no legal obligation to do it.
But i wish u the best of luck
Under UK law, all business' must make their services accessible by those with disabilities (Disability discrimination act applies), now there is a grey area when it comes to 'web content', however, I understand there are guidelines in place for web content and accessibility to those with disabilities i.e. In 1999 the Web Accessibility Initiative, a project by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), published the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG 1.0. In recent years, these have been widely accepted as the definitive guidelines on how to create accessible websites see linkie :- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Accessibility_Initiative
If CCP are providing content within their web pages akin to videos then at the minimum they need to consider those guidelines. By doing so, it would enhance their reputation for supporting what is a minor request for a small minority of players in the environment ... the value added far outweighs any legal obligations tbfh !

Idk whats more sick, people crying about this or the fact others think that this should have been done in the first place.
you are an example of the ignorance in game and in rl that i despise .... i do hope that one day karma does smack you between the eyes should you have to deal with a disability in your own life .... ******* moron ... lets hope you get a perma ban for being such a arrogant **** |
