juuonsee Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) In-game name when banned: Antti What message displays when you attempt to connect? You were kicked off the game (Battleye: Admin ban (racism/Antti/stan)) Why do you think you were banned? in short, i was flying a chopper and a fellow thanked me for a ride by saying "Thank you my man". I replied in direct chat "maa nigga" after which I was banned for racisism and now cannot join back in Why (in your personal opinion) should your ban be lifted? Because using the word "nigga" cannot be considered as racism. I'd understand if I was calling people "niggers" in side chat (although even still going as far as saying that that is racism might be pushing it). Anyway, I wholeheartedly agree that racism should not be tolerated in any shape or form. But being banned for being a racist after using a word you have blacklisted is just....ehm.... odd Which administrator banned you (if known): dont know When were you banned: today (June 22 2017) So apparently I'm now a racist and a promoter of hate speech. Not to mention that I broke rules which you do not mention ANYWHERE (i.e. using specific words in chat). Sure, hate speech and racism are both phenomena which I'd gladly see disappear. But accusing me of those things just because I happened to use ONE specific word which you have blacklisted is just idiotic beyond all logic. I already wrote this to Origin (the person responsible for keeping me banned) but he refused to discuss the matter. Hence, I'll write it here as well: "If I use a sentence: ' "nigga" is a word used to generally describe African-American people. It can also be used when talking about friends even if they are not African-American" then am a racist? Am I promoting hate speech? Am I offending someone? No, I'm simply using a word which you seem to think is offensive. I'm sorry, but it's just a word. This is how totalitarian societies work. Not those which operate under free speech.
