Why do people get away with Racism?

Atwar is a very fun game with a bunch of great players from around the world, but recently I've noticed some blatant racist comments on room and game chat using words such as "Nigger" and "Foreigner", I personally do not understand why someone feels the need to insult someone by their country's origin or culture. I think that to maintain atwars diverse community of many wonderful people, mods need to take action against these bullies instead of focusing on personal conflicts (on atwar), ultimately this is the purpose of a Mod but it is not being fulfilled, please fix this.

I support this, Get the fck off with this tik-tok dude, he said in room chat to kill all african people and we should not give them anymoney and they are not worthy our time and money and they are scum because they are black and stuff.. and mods didnt do any fking thing? But by muting people who actually say something about it -.-

Stop speaking for everyone else like you always do in your bigoted and narrow minded comments, it's ironic how you commented on this post when you are one of the main racial abusers as stated in OP. I don't know how you are still unbanned, mods need to look at off topic forum more..

Lets check some of the atWar rules shall we:

Chat Behavior
5. Harassing, threatening, embarrassing, or doing anything to another member or guest that is unwanted is not permitted. This includes posting insulting, offensive, or abusive comments about members or guests, repeatedly sending unwanted messages, attacking a member or guest based on RACE, sexual orientation, RELIGION, heritage, etc. Hate speech is not tolerated, and we reserve the right to end any conversation to avoid further escalations.

Guidelines
2) Discussion of political, sexual, or religious topics is discouraged in game and on forums.

This is neither political or sexual or even religious. I'm stating what I've seen throughout atwars chats. What is your point?

You don't expect a game full of Turks and Serbians to be not-racist do you?

It's a game with a much more diverse community than just Turks and Serbians xD

No, i'm saying there is a substantial amount of Turks and Serbians.

It's quite odd to see racism towards Turks, not sure about Serbians though, I know Balkans as a whole are looked down upon..

Because we have come to a consensus that anyone here who is not white is a subhuman.
Duh.

Actually he is right, nobody cares, welcome to the internet.
To be honest, I can't quite follow your problem with this. I couldn't care less about being called a Nazi, Kraut or whatever racial slur you want to use against Germans over the internet,.
In return this doesn't mean I won't call you a nigger, a filthy zionist jew, or whatever comes to mind. If this affects you, report it to the mods. They will, or will not take action, according to their personal feeling about the matter. Also Tik had a valid point when he said that we should render negroes exinct or stop the financial aid, it leads nowhere. But that's a whole other topic to discuss. Feel offended? Here is the exit:

https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Offended.

Problem is that once the mods actually enforce the rules you will have dozens of little retarded teenagers popping up threads on how they were treated badly, how the mods installed a faschist regime over the community and loads of more drama. So I guess the mods have become more easy on them. There's many faggot mods too tho, who are part of what you complain about. I suggest you get used to this, It will not change.

No Support, this is not daycare online.

Unleashed won't be able to keep arguing on this thread, he will take a 3 days vacation from the forum.

Also, I want to make clear that me (and other mods) don't support or ignore racist acts, as it was stated before in-game and at the forums. What we need is more backup from the community to show that we aren't alone on this cause. Check this thread, for example.

This is 2014, not 1814, we shouldn't be allowing this bullshit anymore, whether or not it's a daycare or not.

1st of all the op has already been rascist to me in a thread.

2nd.nobody cares.As ordnung said,this is the internet dude..grow up and get over it.You need to understand what internet is and what are your rights there.Theres no police here.And the internet is not a woman that you can just slap (cause you already said you think men are so much more superior than women) Sure there are mods and rules, but as Pinheiro very well said, its the community also that "shapes" things.Its not too hard to put people on ignore, nor is it te report if someone gets ultra abusive.You (the op) and other little kids here, need to understand that there always will be rascist and bad people.You need to find ways to deal with it, cause sometimes theres this thing called freedom of speach.Witch hunt topics like this are always bad news

What's the point of having mods if they don't enforce their own rules, if the community doesn't like it then they should stop playing, play by the rules or not at all. A child I may be but I still have way more sense than you. It's a shame nobody cares about these hate crimes (say these inrl and get arrested (: )

Someone called you a foreigner on the internet
boo hoo poor you

Mods already enforce the rules, just because you consider the word "Negro" or "Foreigner" doesn't mean those words are reason for a punishment, where i come from, the word "Negro" is accepted and widely used, now the term Foreigner isn't bad at all, is just a way to describe people that aren't from certain country...

Now, there is a difference between using this "rude" words and being offensive.
if a player constantly pr's you with such rude words or insults you in global, you can always report him. if he uses them in room chat in a more general manner, you can always ignore him, but there is nothing more that you can do.

2nd: the mods are members of the community too, they where normal players that where chosen either for being mature(or recommended by a fellow mod).

if you find the community of atwar rude or intolerant, you are welcome to leave, but there is way worse places in the internet where you will actually find REAL racism and trolling.

this website is a example of what true racism/trolling is: https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Atwar
https://encyclopediadramatica.es/AtWar/Users

If it means anything, common terms like "Nigger", "Faggot", "Kike", "Nazi", etc, are just words. If you truly feel offense to it, please just ignore the fucktard (With the ignore button) instead of causing mod/forum drama. If they consistently harass you, then do inform the mods and get them muted. Someone like the lovable racist Tik-Tok spouting his personal opinions in [room] chat should be ignored, rather than muted. Someone like the less-lovable baal blatantly calling you a "_____" and consistently ruining your experience with personal harassment, should be muted.

@ end
Dude please stop crying and make such a drama act cause somebody called you a nigger.I mean seriously?grow up.If you or others are too young, i feel for you, but the community cannot become kiddie playground or it will be boring for all of us.
@ goblin
The thing is i lived in the real world and i dont live in a bubble.That is the real world.Out there everybody has their own opinion and it should be respected.I despise and hate nazis and fascists but i will defend their right to express their opinion.Beat them with words..its not that hard..

This might sound harsh but we are on the internet. People here rely to using harmful words or phrases because we are safe behind our computer screens. To get offended by what some fat-22-year-old-college-dropout thinks of your race or religion is pointless. Yes the game has rules against it but this happens in every part of the internet. Best way to get over it is to move on and if you cant deal with it then click the ignore button. Complaining in the forums will never solve the problem as when 1 racist is banned 3 more take his place.

Marcus Cicero summed it up. 95% of internet offenders wouldn't even have the courage to say a word to you in real life and that's why they relieve their personal frustrations with the world in the internet, where they think they're safe from anything.

I suggest you to use the ignore button mainly, but as I said before, the mods are there to solve bigger problems, you only need to use report (and that is meant to everyone else aswell). I will close the thread since I think your doubt was solved and to avoid it to turn into another kind of discussion.
