- Report Racism (Archived by Pipa)

[Pipa]

The team had a short discussion in members to get a uniform position on this matter:

The underlying problem of this all stems from the fact that we have had, and still have, an influx of players from Saudi Arabia. If the majority of them would abide our rules this wouldn't have caused an issue, however most of them are fairly ignorant of the rules and it is difficult to get through to them, may that be due to the language barrier or them refusing to cooperate.

This causes more stress on the admins and the users, as they have more work dealing with/reporting rulebreakers.

This is not an opinion, but an objective look at the situation as a whole and our logs and the opinions of serveral admins/users support this.

So while the outburst from "[GLOW] Martynas" and "[CSR] Toni [NMC]" were not helpful nor well thought through, they were certainly not unprovoked and stem from the underlying problem i have pictured above.

Also we do treat insulting,bullying and racism fairly serious, however we have established that this does not fall into such a category. They weren't adressing their "rant" at anyone in particular, but kept it as a general opinion. Their opinion may be poorly worded and not well thought through, but an opinion nevertheless.

While we are not the government and have no obligation to allow free speech, we do value it very highly.

We understand that opinions can be hurtful and offending, but we regard free speech higher than those and aslong as their opinion is not an direct insult you will have to endure it.
