Resolved  Ban for spray/racism
#1
This is absolutely ridiculous... I got banned for spraying this http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb4 ... 88c_CD.jpg
3 points I'd like to make are...
1st : This is in no way a racist spray... even look at the definition of the word "nigga".

nig·ga
  /ˈnɪgə/ Spelled [nig-uh]
"Nigga  is used mainly among African-Americans, but also among other minorities and ethnicity, in a neutral or familiar way and as a friendly term of address."
*see: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/nigga?s=ts

2nd: It seemed to me like the admins are delighted at any opportunity to exercise their power regardless of themselves actually feeling "offended" and especially if they are being repeatedly killed by the offender. This is a big issue as I feel that I have been targeted solely because I killed and then sprayed on the admin and then banned!

3rd: This spray is simply a joke. Its very funny (to me and a lot of other people who have seen it). Its my favorite spray, I use it all the time and will continue to, and in no way is it meant to be racist or offend anyone like that.

P.S. If this server is too sensitive about funny subjects like this then maybe you shouldn't un-ban me. I love the warlords servers (I have even applied for admin and working towards the 5day time requirement) but I'd rather play in a server that isn't so immature as to get offended by such meaningless jokes or have admins who like to exercise their power childishly.

TL;DR
I love the warlords servers, but if they cant distinguish between a joke and something that's actually meant to be offensive then this server isn't for me and I shouldn't be un-banned. I seriously recommend this video about the word "nigger" to people who actually care about racism http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xa18UJVKr5s (the first 2 min really illustrates my point)

Told you twice to change the spray, you ignored and continued to spray it.

I asked another admin about it too, he said to warn and unless he changes it, ban.

Racism isn't tolerated on the servers.

Its a 1 day ban.

I completely agree racism isn't tolerated on the server. My whole point of this post is that the spray isn't racist.

Quote:Your spray is in a racist way. Go on streets and say "NIGGA", if you do this in my city, you're dead! Also did you ever watched TV? They dont let the sound/word be said completely..

"NIGGER", "NIGG", "NIKKA", "NIGGA", "NIKAH" are = to "NIGGER", so yes, it is in a racist way and very disrespectful.

We enforce the rules, we CAN NOT take it personal, we dont ban people because they "own" us, or for silly things.(Unless you keep doing it after warnings)

Please DO NOT use it on wL server, otherwise you will get banned and banned.

NO! We care about other's feelings, and this is not a "little subject", if something is offensive, it needs to be taken care of, and thats what happened.

This server is the best because we have rules and we enforce them, otherwise other communities. As I had said this is an offence. About the admin thing.. please read this : http://sourcebans.war-lords.net/index.php?p=home, It shows up on my screen the following rule:

Quote:Inappropriate sprays. Shock sprays and hardcore porn is not allowed.

Snyper945 it is racist.  Just a friendly warning; bans get longer if you continue to use racist words in your postings or in-game.  Its not that complicated.
#6
I also would not tolerate that spray if I saw it in the servers.

So ban stands still, also DO NOT do things out of rules again, if you have any questions, click here and check the rules. Or type MOTD in-game to see the rules.

Don't resolve threads by yourself especially when it doesn't pertain to servers you have admin on. Leave the decision to the banning admin or a root.

In my opinion, let this thread wait for a root admin to establish the final decision on the situation. Their input would weigh the most.

Personally, I wouldn't allow the spray out of respect for server rules as that spray does include a racial slur (yes it is a racial slur even if blacks call themselves that- its still derogatory). If an admin tells you not to spray your spray, you should listen.

REJECTED

You were banned for choosing not to listen to an admin. The limitations on what's an acceptable spray isn't limited to racist/hateful sprays. If an admin gets complaints from users about a certain spray (a prime example would be decoy sprays), then at the admins discretion, they can ban you after giving you adequate warning and a chance to change it. You disregarded multiple warnings to change the spray and thought you were above the rules, so you'll thus need to face the consequences of your actions.
