There have been a number of posts on the forum that have crossed my attention and I am sure many many that I have not. Which are blatently posted for no other purpose that to bring nationalism or racism into the game.
For example: Link
Imo this is completely unnecesary, in the world of Eve everybody is created equal, whatever the race / skin-colour / religion / nationality of the pilot behind the screen is, it is completely irrelevant to the game.
I would like to ask the CSM to ask CCP to enforce more severe reprocussions on the anyone involved in this. It is not only offensive to those it is aimed at, but also to others reading the forums.
And just for the record, I am white, english and aethist, so none of these threads that I have seen have been directed at me. --------------------------------- (c) CJ 2009 |

I'm just as offended by overactive censorship as I am by stupidity and bigotry. There's a grey area here.
I suppose I support the intent behind the thread, I just urge the person judging the level of offensiveness of a thread to use a lot of good discretion and judgement.
For the record I really enjoy the fact that the galaxy we play in is so diverse that the language spoken in local and the times people are awake change by the region (especially in deep 0.0). Awesome and realistic.

/signed totally agree, but ... if we'll be talking about some amarrian scum, we should allow that!

There's an obvious solution to this. Wardec his corp, and pod him stupid. Well, stupider. Either that, or report the thread and get it locked, like somebody already apparently did.
I'm not against what you propose per se, but what sort of punishment did you have in mind? ----------- Herschel's Cruiser BPC Store |

I guess i must not be as hypersensitive as some people beccause i read through the whole thread and saw nothing that i would consider a "serious" and "blatant" prejudice against any particular group of people, i saw a thread that was loaded with sarcasm and humor. Take a chill pill.. maybe you should go after joe starbreaker who called for a jihad against archura players.. that was far more overtly and deliberately racist.

Warning, followed by temporary ban for a second offensive, followed by a permanent ban for a third.
By ban I mean from the game, not just the forums. --------------------------------- (c) CJ 2009 |

Perhaps the thread I linked is not the worst, I am not normally overly sensitive to such issues. I guess when there is so much of it in RL, it is annoying to see it in game. But most of all, I truely believe it serves absolutely no positive purpose in the game. Therefore there can be no harm in CCP doing everything possible to stamp it out. And I am not talking about players who happen to use terms that can be deemed offensive, I am talking about those who specifically target players of other races / nationalities. --------------------------------- (c) CJ 2009 |

ITT: People who are too easily offended ask CCP to crack down on anyone that violates their delicate sensibilities. Yawn.

CJ, you're such an utter pansy.
Now let it be known I'm no racist - I made my judgement based on the content of your post, excluding the personal information you placed in the last line.
I'm sure you'll be comforted to know that.

Is this why the Minmatar race naturally trains ships and weapons faster, or the Achura are naturally the most versatile race? How about the entire back story of EVE, the Gallante-Caldari War ; the Amarr-Jove War ; the entire premise behind faction warfare? Face it, race is a part of EVE.
Also, I don't support thought crimes or any other communistic policies that have people second guessing themselves before they speak.

To be quite blunt, I totally agree and it isnt just in the forums it is also in the game, people seem to think that EVE is their soap box for social issues outside the game. Just because a persons primary launguage isnt English isnt a good reason to get stuck into them, or because they dont fly the red, white and blue, or whatever.. From my point of view it shows them up as being too immature to be actually allowed to play the game with their parents permission, which is probably quite shocking because some of them would be over 18

lol @ "define Russians..."
Relax, take deep breath, then look at the 0.0 map. Most of the drone regions and a sizable portion of the south/south east is controlled by explicitly Russian alliances. As in they either support Russian as a second, primary, or exclusive language and recruit said speakers a large number of whom, if you can believe it, are of Russian decent.
It's called reality people, stop hiding from it. ---

I have reported posts that used terms like "rag-heads" and "towel-heads" before, but not seen any action taken. So yes, I would support this.
