    slur: a derogatory or insulting term applied to particular group of people.

    here's a list of a shit-ton of slurs. probably not all of the ones out there. i hope you understand where i'm going with this.
    are we expecting staff to warn for words like hillbilly, bumpkin, russki, or fucking "eggplant"?
    the answer is practically no.

    "it's all or nothing"

    see, you can't expect staff to instantly warn someone for calling someone else a fucking eggplant. but, if the user were to complain about it, fine, warn him, i don't give a shit.
    nigger and faggot are the most predominately offensive slurs used on the servers, so no shit people were warned immediately after the use of it

    god you people are dense

    This has gotten out of hand and I can't afford to waste my time and everyone elses' debating over logistics. Everything important that could have been said, has been said.

    I am asking an admin to close this thread. It should only be reopened by @Highwon with his response to the matter, if he chooses to give one.

    Feel free to vote.

    After an hour long discussion between Highwon, Pacifist, and myself, I regret to say we will not be reversing the slurs change introduced on July 13th.

    Because any attempt of a poll to determine if our players want to reverse the change will be affected by,
    • Trolls
    • People who don't play on our servers.
    ​
    We will not be listening to any polls regarding the issue.

    Statistically it is unlikely any change in player counts can be attributed to this change.

    So as of the discussion of our Leadership Meeting, there will be no reversal of the slurs change.

    We might leave the door open for more discretion regarding slurs.
