TOPIC: NAME CHANGE?!

I am racist too

therefore this won't be allowed. And because there's no way not to use this word in a racial way.

Hey fren, come here, lean in real close, I'll tell you something that you may not know

hello there was never one definitive English language, new words were introduced a lot. the difference is that the n-word is specifically racist but spook has a less recent, more widely known definition

Just to clear up any confusion, the user is not currently banned. He is appealing his name change not his ban because it does not exist.

You obviously don't mean the name in it's racial context so why should it be changed? This is really stupid and the arguments against it are just pathetic. Hope it gets resolved soon.

Morgan also denied my refund request of my signatures even though technically it was a server sided issue seen as the senior staff did not tell me to change my name until a few months after.

Also decided to join our gang channel and banned To Be Continued and myself.
<20:54:12> You were banned for 1 day from the server by "Morgan" (Disrespect)
<20:08:38> "`To Be Continued" was banned for 1 day from the server by "Morgan" (Disrespect)

You've pissed a lot of people off, including myself.
Also wouldn't remove the ban after I did something for out of kindness right after you banned me and then you were ignorant and ignored my steam message.(then saw you in the event 40mins later).

Wrong - there are people, including me, who thought he was banned for it.

If we make that argument here, a community wide statement needs to be made because clearly we cant have things two ways. Suddenly the n-word being used in popular songs and music videos is racist, but then those same people saying that make the argument you're using right now. It just seems to be a major double standard and something that needs to be clarified.

The N words definition, has ALWAYS been the same, from the time it was first used.
The term Picnicis a racial slur, So we can no longer use it, or we will get in trouble, same is "Cracker, Redneck, Casper, calling a white person a Ghost".
term 8Mile, also a racial slur.
"Ace Of Spaded".

And also in the american side, the word "Coconut" is also racial.

So, from the statements provided and used in this post, currently states that we can no longer use so many words, such as coconut

There are no double standards for me, at least.

If the word "-snip-" is said in a song, literally who cares - it's a song.

If you're calling some one the same word, then yes it is racism.

Same thing with "spook".

Lewis_is_java wrote: Am I wrong though? No sense quoting me on that part unless I was wrong. Also, I'll say it again for the other replies I got, the word is pretty much only used here as a racially offensive word. I don't recall ever hearing the word used in the sense you're trying to say it is where I'm from ever in my life actually. I'll also say again I didn't even know it meant ghost until just recently just as you didn't know the racially offensive definition of it until recently.

Morgan wrote: Well very rarely will a popular song include the n word with its hard pronounced ending ("-snip-"), normally it includes the word "-snip-" which in itself is not actually racist but is a term of endearment used between African Americans. In the case where the word "-snip-" is used it is racist.

Morgan wrote: Then n-word is straightup harmful from it's popular known definition, meanwhile "Small Spook" isn't in most areas and he doesn't intend on having the name in it's offensive term you may see it as, so there is literally no need in forcing him to change his name. I and many many other people didn't even know the name was racist (Americans on the otherhand do find it offensive in a racial term), this entire time it's been no harm to anyone whatsoever.

Dramn wrote: Also most songs say "-snip-" which is the greeting of one fellow black american to another with a rhythm and well known melodic tune to it.

Morgan wrote: Who's gonna clear this up? Us? the SSRP lead team? Because that would be an absolute stupid thing for us to do. This is something which impacts this guy everywhere, SSRP, Forums, TS, and wherever he plays.
If anything this should either be something the community as a whole should decide upon, or the Community Team alone.
But I'd rather have the community as a whole decide upon this since everyone here clearly seems to be wanting to give their word & Vote in the matter.
