hall, it would be griefing because you' be saying it SPECIFICALLY to annoy the admins because they couldn't ban you for racism. doing something just to cause grief to other players, is called griefing. an you' get a time-out
I've always held people who throw around "The N Word" in contempt. As best as I can tell, if an admin warns against such a thing, and is in turn ignored and baited, then the player in question has at least a mute coming. Racism is not a fine line, and in this case I agree with Dennis. The word is offensive, and should be banned from IBIS servers. If you want to be racist, and ignorant of racial tolerance, then you can play somewhere else in my book.
Yeah. I'm an admin. What of it?
unless it's directed at a certain person, you can't ban... if it is directed at someone you can, and given they fight the ban, it wont matter cause you were following zero's rules...
there's really nothing more 2 discuss regarding this. it's been brought up many times and the end result is always the same
-Racist jokes and terms are permitted provided you're not directing it at any actual person.
also it only falls under disrespect if you direct it at someone.

It's hugely offensive to me, and therefore is disrespectful providing they disregard my warning. It's not a word that people need to use to get a point across, and therefore they shouldn't have an issue with not using it following a warning. Otherwise I'd consider it baiting in addition to disrespect.

your personal feelings regarding this rule do not matter. you can't punish ppl for saying racist terms or jokes if they're not directed at any 1. It's a rule made by zero, follow it, or you're abusing, it's quite simple.
Ibis is a dictatorship. There is no debating zero's rules

I found the fault in your statement in your first sentence. Well you don't own the server Zero does... and here his opinion over rides your own personal beliefs or opinion on the matter.
See the problem with your logic-
What if I felt a word like "omgbears" (just as an example) was hugely offensive to me and said "I find that word highly offensive and if you continue to use it after my warning your disrespecting me." Would I be ok to ban a player because I personally had a problem with it? Of course not.
In reality when you threaten a player who knows the server rules than he cant say the "N" word (when they know clearly they can if its not directed at a player) you are baiting that player.
Well said... this issue has been covered to the point I feel people are just repeating themselves. Clsoing Thread.
