Really, alex? Really.

something -> somethin'
dunking -> dunkin'
n*gger -> nigga

Nigga is n*gger just shortened for slang. What a waste of a thread considering you know you're wrong. Arguing semantics usually only happens when the person in question knows their wrong but does not have the balls to admit it. Man up.

Christmas you may be right. But think about it... if that word is allowed it would be use more in the server. Nigga will be said on mic and us admins will wonder whether he or she said nigga or the other n word. yes either one is offensive to me and i'm sure to others who play on the server. when i was in high school and college my friends and i use word nigga every two sentences why? because they know me and i know them and we didn't feel any offense using that word. Its totally different when you use it with people you don't know like players in Counter strke servers. Nigga is a moderate word from the original n-word. a bit harmless but still considered a racial slur to me in Ibis server unless the people upstairs say otherwise.

Christmas, perhaps you should research on the word and what it means to others instead of saying: "Nigga isn't racist" with nothing to back it up. simple minded. start with
this web: http://www.abolishthenword.com/history.htm
and if you want something more simple: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigga

Ness your arguement is so far the best compare to other arguements against me (thats a fact). But you have to understand how others would feel if they heard you say that.

I shall say no more.. actually there is one other thing. Christmas i really like the hax you did today ("...abuse... i don't care...") take care buddy:

What black people are offended by the use of the word nigga? He even said it the way it is said in normal context. He didn't call anyone the word. He just said it within the proper context.

Your first link has to do with the actual N word. Nigga is used once in there explaining how blacks call themselves the word.

On the second, here is a quote from your own link.

In practice, its use and meaning are heavily dependent on context

The context was fine in this case.

like i said, do more research. did you find any articles to support your argument? or still pole dancing in the North Pole?

[Christmas]

like i said, do more research.

Well since your "research" gave me nothing of real context other than the fact that using the word nigga is dependant on the situation, perhaps you should be taking your own advice.

He did call someone nigga. "Nigga I AM the fishtank" is clearly calling someone a nigga. Nigga is a racist term regardless of context as it's root is n*gger. This is in reference to server rules, not dialogue between buddies.

The context of how he said it is important.

And where in the server rules does it say that?

[Perry]

look the point has been made by nem shockingly lol.

using the term to associate or comment on a person is in fact racist.

oh nem your a big fat potato lol

Although I disagree about the context thing I realize I'm wrong about the server rules. I honestly thought there was a rule regarding this issue but I now realize I'm referring to another server's rules that I used to admin for. My bad Christmas, sorry for the troll.
