Children play the game.... they don't need to see that sort of stuff...Turn off Chat if you don't like it. No idea who the guy is or what he said but you have the option to turn it off.
Quit your crying...if you don't like what someone is saying put them on ignore.
Doesn't work on Atlantic. The ignore list has a relatively small cap and it's by character not by account. All they have to do is change characters and you'll see it again. When people have multiple accounts like they do, one guy can take up the whole ignore list all by himself.Quit your crying...if you don't like what someone is saying put them on ignore.
Why should the decent people have to change something. That person should be the one who needs to be modified.Turn off Chat if you don't like it. No idea who the guy is or what he said but you have the option to turn it off.

Too bad you can only like things once... I give this one a +10...Why should the decent people have to change something. That person should be the one who needs to be modified.
Taught them a lesson . . .Probably got a solid 24 hour ban!
Just take them for what they are, sad little children that have nothing better to do then spout their nonsense (I think of them as Howler Monkey's, lotta noise, little content) do not give them power over you , and they will have none.The whole world is going to hell in a hand basket, some people's only joy is to make others miserable.
There is no "freedom of speech" in game.. period.. there is TOS and once that is violated (most especially with someone continually spamming highly racist "jokes") that should be stopped, which it was. The guy even logged on another character (*same-character-name*2) and was headed back to Luna a few minutes after apparently getting the first character 'banned" but before he could get to Luna they banned that character.. or banned his IP address (which I hope that was the case) because the things he was doing was indeed that bad...Turn off Chat if you don't like it.

I think they taught him a lesson when he was running the other character to Luna to repeat what he was doing earlier. He bragged about having creating 10 "trial accounts" to keep doing his crap with. He never made it to Luna though... thankfully.Taught them a lesson . . .
Preeeeety sure saying racist **** is against the ToS, so...Turn off Chat if you don't like it. No idea who the guy is or what he said but you have the option to turn it off.

This incident had nothing to do with trash talking other players or people being "too sensitive". This was outright derogatory, racist comments and jokes that should not be tolerated, let alone encouraged, in any form.I didn't see this guy, but I always considered the chat part of the game. I don't see why you're allowed to kill other players but not trash talk them or dirty talk them into frustration. It's an MMO. If you want to be the guy that trash talks, be the guy that trash talks on one character.
Obviously there is a line that many people here have experienced that went way too far out of game. Too far out of game meaning anywhere out of game. I may trash talk or be crass, but in Discord or Vent I'm balls less. It's just fun sometimes.
The UO community is so sensitive to stuff that it became more fun and more engaging to do it in chats. My favorite guild on Atlantic doesn't allow cursing like we have a bunch of pre-adolescent kids playing the game with demons and succubus, but a curse word will alter their behavior.
You're assuming he would be punished in real life. The likely thing to happen in your scenario would be the physical aggressor being in more trouble. The advise in real life is the same... "Just ignore him."Crude is crude no matter the platform and people should not have to be subject to such things. If the guy had the balls to say things like that in rl he would not have too many teeth left in his head after doing so.. so why should they also not pay a price in game as well?
Did you see what was being said? or just speaking in general?You're assuming he would be punished in real life.
No, I didn't. But I can't imagine anything being said angering me enough to hit a stranger that I could easily ignore and separate myself from. We don't have to be animals.Did you see what was being said? or just speaking in general?
Having seen quite a few things he was saying.. umm yeah.. he wouldda been popped a few times by a few folks.. and the "aggressor" would seldom be convicted if they went with a trial by jury due to the words being used.
I struggle with this... your words are not making a greater impact either...Quit your crying.
If you have a problem with some racist troll getting called out, then simply leave the thread and never come back. That way, you don't have to read, write or whine about it. Works even better than ignore.
Umm... I am in the US as well.. only in Ga, have had quite a few cases where people got their butts whipped and the one doing the whipping walkedEDIT: We all live in different countries... I'm in the US. We may have different values and considerations on what is considered correct. The server is US as well.
What you said is called Lynching and it is very much illegal.
I'm in Georgia as well and it doesn't apply to words or situations that you can easily leave.Umm... I am in the US as well.. only in Ga, have had quite a few cases where people got their butts whipped and the one doing the whipping walked
and.. nowhere near lynching... stand your ground applies to quite a few things...
I did catch it when the guy said that but... wasn't he spamming in "General Chat"? Free Trial Accounts are supposed to be restricted to "Help Chat", right?He bragged about having creating 10 "trial accounts" to keep doing his crap with. He never made it to Luna though... thankfully.
Good point. According to uo.com that is still the case.. but yeah, he was in General chat.I did catch it when the guy said that but... wasn't he spamming in "General Chat"? Free Trial Accounts are supposed to be restricted to "Help Chat", right?
Thank you for cleaning this up Captn.This thread took a sharp turn into real world political discussion... which is not allowed on stratics.
Thread has been cleaned up with 9 posts removed.
Please refrain from involving real world political topics in Stratics threads.
Also please don't post the "oh if I posted this I would get a warning for it, unfair, what punishment did that person get" type of posts. That does not help the situation at all, it just spins off into more drama.
If a post doesn't disappear right after it's reported, it doesn't mean we are ignoring it... we just haven't seen the report yet or are at work in real life and can't do much about it at the time. (I'm on a phone from work now, but saw this needed cleaning up as soon as possible before it got even worse).
Thank you.
Not sure but I think both sides are now being investigated to make sure the player spews those nasty words were provokes into saying them. I seriously think the people who provokes others and it is prove in should get the 24 hour banned.Did they get more relax with the rules? I remembered more than 10 years ago, there are certain words that get people instant banned.
.
yes he should, but the ones who also encouraged his behavior should also pay the price this way others will think twice about provoking others in the game.Crude is crude no matter the platform and people should not have to be subject to such things.

Pretty sure Broadsword doesn't have rules anymore, so do whatever you want!Did they get more relax with the rules? I remembered more than 10 years ago, there are certain words that get people instant banned.
