    I think this might be the place to say something that used to be on my mind.

    A few years ago I was banned for megaphoning a message that admittedly, took me some time to realize that it can be offensive to some people. In no way I intend to direct attacks towards an entire race of people but I guess I should have replied differently.
    https://royals.ms/forum/threads/hate-speech.93885/

    I said that offensive line after being bombarded with unfriendly comments in megaphones and whispers in game but honestly, I still stand by my opinion that I don't think it's offensive to the players I directed to. And yes, I could have presented myself better but heh I just wanted to be stupid in a stupid situation.

    Now, why is my disrespectful thread locked right away and this uncivil thread isn't?
    Isn't this drama and harassment? Is my thread wrong just because it has a monetary value to it? Honestly, I don't see how that a thread that publicly declares me a blacklist to a whole nation is acceptable.

    My case doesn't exactly fit in this context but I agree with the sentiment of cutting the bollocks and look into the context instead of just the presentation.

    You need to give other examples beside the 1488HH, not all the GMs would know of this word

    If you reported the IGN and provide the definition - they will take action, simple as that

    Could you give other examples of the rules not being enforced consistently?

    So you want to justify your case or close down this thread?

    Little late isn't it? haha and no, I am just trying to say context matters and rules should be applied uniformly.

    If you said "should be applied uniformly", which matter was not applied uniformly?

    For the context, I believe the "N" and "Noggers" was clarified

    Okay, to clarify, the matters I am referring to are the threads I mentioned in my first post, I believe that the rules weren't applied uniformly. However that is not what this thread is addressing. And I just want to agree that context matters really. Make sense?

    I think his point was that it's such an uncommonly used, and known term that not many people would report someone for having that name or saying it, but you can report them.

    How the hell did I miss this thread completely? Lmfao

    Chrissy I love you, but everyone knew what you were hinting at.
    I saw the screenshots of the chat, nobody was talking about ice cream at all, so slipping that in there wasn't the smartest move..
    :'(

    Mati wasn't just banned for "Thanks N"
    That's what HE told everyone.
    He told a lot of people a different story, including me, and none of it was close to the truth.

    The real reason, was summed up pretty well right here, if I do say so myself.
    https://royals.ms/forum/threads/get-it-off-your-chest.7415/page-169

    Funny how it's always the same 4-5 people getting nailed for this...
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    It's a private server of a 2007 game. The fact that you guys have to act childish over it really shows your maturity level.
    Which is a shame considering most of us are well over 20 years old.
    I'm all down for edgy jokes n shit, but you also need to know when to tone it the fuck down, mate.

    Might as well ban anyone with the letter N in his name at that point

    His permanent ban wasn't due to the N word

    I honestly don't have an answer to this lol, I haven't taken part in it and have no influence over it either.
    I'm not into that kind of stuff, just memes !

    why black people? if you want to be racist, at least dont single out a group and instead go for everyone... and to the fact that the gms have responded to this particular thread instead of taking it down and instead working on something worthwhile; is appalling af and makes me really rethink my support of this server

    It wouldn't be racism if it were applicable to everyone. And simply deleting the thread would immediately spawn another, so responding once rather than constantly deleting threads is the better course of action.
