Banned for 30 days? Oh man... Leecher is going to miss OLDZ weekend again

It doesn´t matter what its been used for. The bad meaning stays cause the word "Nigger" togehter with its familars is unambiguously pejorative and a ethnic slur no matter how you use it.

If you let people join the server and go "whats up my nigga's" without harm, then calling people nigger's is only one degree away from that, and people won't see the difference between the two.

So I'm with gizmo here.

If I went in work tomorrow and said to my boss, "what's up nigga", I'd be without a job very quickly.

Some people, including myself, will get annoyed only by the "non-Jew" meaning of the word (even though it's completely unrelated to Nazism); perhaps because I can easily imagine Nazi scum to use that word to game the rules. But that's not the point; some people are annoyed by "goy", others are annoyed by "fag" and we both know what those words mean. And this matter is not really something that can be reasonably argumented.

And yeah, I'm with giZmo / iRobot about the nigger / nigga thing.

Besides, just look at the players history. Banned for racism first offence, then banned for joking about the holocaust, then banned again for racism.

This guy obviously isn't learning. Maybe 30 days will be better encouragement to stop being offensive.

Actually, it does. I used the word in a non-racist way beacause I'm not a racist. So yes, it matters. Its not an uncommon thing in language for a word to have more than one meaning in case you havent noticed.

Yes, look at the player history, please do. I'm playing this shit for 9 years now and the only place I get banned for racism is on LDG. First time I wasnt much into assault at that moment, thought it would be fun to repeat the word nigger countless of times to get banned by Aza. Lulz were had. 29 jan, I wouldnt know what I did there but since I'm not a racist I doubt I did a whole lot wrong there. The rules didnt state that making a joke about the holocaust is the same as nazism so fuck that because its not. And in this case I was using the word nigga as synonym for friend so fuck that learning curve I'm supposed to have. If you are going to be such a nitpicker about words why is ultrabloxx not banned for openly showing hatred against homosexuals.

I used to get banned for aimbotting, which I never did. Now I get banned for being a racist which I'm not. The rules suck dick or are not put into practice properly.

Yes, I'm sure its a problem with the rules when it's only you who has the problems.

Must be the rules, of course

I suggest we put our new strategy into effect and poll the entire server on whether to ban for the use of nigga in this context.

It will be interesting, let's poll!

Then what? You are going to ask a bunch of random people what I ment by the word nigga in this context? What the fuck, I'm right here and I will explain once again: I used it as a synonym for the word friend. Its not that hard, you can see that perfectly fine yourselves.
I'm just pointing out that my ban is useless since I'm not a racist and did not make a racial comment.
