Omega - Too stupid to know the rules

[Chef C Green]

my job to upload demo. your job to watch it. get to work.

Hmm, no where do I see THAT in the TOS for normal admins . Doesn't matter who you are, a little less ranting and more proof helps move things faster (you were there, ergo you would know approximately where it was (1st 1/4 of game.... 3rd round... etc). If you don't mind waiting then by all means don't .

Anyway...

Ticks:

9000: New Round
10700: Omega Comments “Admins not supposed to be racist”
Checkster follows by elaborating on the rule “Racism is fine so long as it’s not directed at someone in the server” basically.
14000: Omega direct checkster/Nemisis to rules (dunno which )
20500: Warning issued to Nemesis to mute
20800: Mute issued

IMO, Yes there is nothing in the rules that says you cannot use racist language so long as it does not pertain directly to a player in the server. This is supported through: Admin TOS > "5) Be respectful and non offensive of our community and its members regardless of race sex, or religious beliefs." HOWEVER, if someone in the server (thus being a community member) says to stop because he is of the race being offended, and you do in fact profile the race, you are in fact breaking that rule. What it boils down to is this, racism is permitted so long as it does not offend a community member (through direct connection or if you're stereotyping about the whole race...).

Is this admin abuse? No, I personally do not think so. Omega was sparing in his use of admin commands (a mute for 5 minutes is hardly something to whine about...) and you were not allowing the admins to converse over this dispute in rule interpretation (Server Rules > Respect > 3 > A) A player that nags an admin repeatedly despite being told to :chill: ).

Omega, in future you should be discussing matters pertaining to rule interpretation in ADMIN CHAT if you do not have their friend request (this is done by team chatting and using "@" before your message). Why all this should be going down in the server over voice chat and possibly offending other players is beyond me. If this option does not work, it should be brought to the Admin Forums.

I will review this, however next time be more respectful when posting.

once again... Racist terms are ALLOWED... racist jokes are ALLOWED....

Racist anything is NOT allowed when it is directed at someone....

example...

nemesis, is a dumb nigger - this would not be acceptable, it's directed at someone in the sever.

what the nigger was that? - acceptable, not directed at any 1.


so once again... racist jokes and terms are allowed provided they are not being directed at any 1 on the server.

do not make up, or enforce your own rules... it wont be tolerated.
