NAME CHANGE?! 7 years 3 months ago #663256

Warning: Spoiler! [ Click to expand ]

Here is my view on the situation. The word itself is clearly offensive to SOME people and other people don't even know it is racist (me). Both people in my gang that have this word in their name are from the UK so most likely like me they also didn't know about it being racist. I agree with akemi here. Both people use this name in the zarp community as a standard role-play name. So this should not be voted upon my just the SSRP lead team. I think that their are three options. They are as followed:

-Either let the community managers deal with it and ONLY them.

-Let the community vote on this as it affects the entirty of the community and it would be justified as there are just as many people who take offence to this as the amount of people who find the word meaningless.

-Let the entire lead team vote on this (SSRP, Deathrun, Bhop, TTT, Murder, TS, Prophunt)

This is my opinion, so let it be that.

I made a vote, but it was locked since we are supposed to keep it on one thread. My opinion is that that post should be unlocked and we should have the vote as many of us initially intended.

And what would that vote change, exactly? That we suddenly allow racism in the community?

I've got nothing against the word "spook" nor have I ever heard of its racist use in the US before today, but if people feel offended by it (don't forget that a user did report someone because they didn't appreciate the apparently racist name) then I don't see why we should allow such things to occur. If there's any issue I have with it it's the fact that it's seemingly got some kind of priveleged position, as you aren't allowed to say the N-word no matter what but you are allowed to say the word "spook" seemingly.

A vote won't change the fact that people are offended and have reported users for it.

As stated I am neutral on the topic. This doesn't allow me to anwser as I would. But we can for sure all agree on that the N word is racist. That is the reason why it's prohibited. On Spook there are very different community opinions. It's easy to be ofended by something, thats the problem.

Me being rightfully angry because he denied a valid refund request, my loss of money was due to the staff team.
Which the server should take responsibility for.

Why was it valid? You paid for artwork. It has nothing to do with the servers.

Why would he pay 120mil for a signature when he's hardly active and has 145 posts on the forums tho

Lol not only that but he also got ripped off for it. 120m for something that doesnt even look that appealing.
