No but deliberately using it in order to try insult or offend someone is TOU since it can be seen as racism

Sorry, but the logic is flawed

EDIT: Klaprefot's report I was talking about in the first sentence btw^

It's mostly based on the context, saying the word or calling someone black isn't racist but it can be used in a racist context and that makes them racist, for example when Raeker commented on Skeleton's application "I don't want you to be accepted because you are a black man" is very racist as it states that he doesn't want someone accepted purely because of the skin of their color. Saying something like "What's up black man?" isn't racist because it's not used in a racist way.

Sorry, but I'm actually dissapointed to see where SSRP has gotten to as far as leniency goes. I'm all for stricter punishments, but this is practically abuse and you guys are allowing it.

But what if we want racism

Raeker wrote:
I never agreed with Skeleton's ban though, I don't think it should of been placed but it is valid at the end of the day so it's too bad if you disagree with it - you can go talk to Skeleton about it.



It isn't practically abuse because the punishment is valid but a ban was not needed however due to a recent announcement it is a straight up one day ban therefore there is no wrongdoing here. Most of the time in SSRP, people are given verbal warnings and such a lot so you have no idea what you're talking about especially when you don't even play the servers about leniency against players who break rules.

watch me get banned for racism

Clarky wrote: I can still make an observance and give criticism based on what I see. Saying "Black man" isn't racist, saying "die in hell, black man" is also not racist. Nobody was offended by it.

Just like how we have different opinions on what racism is and means, we also have different opinions on the meaning of abuse. I find harsh punishments abusive because they do not help the server. This user was friends with the user that he was "racist" towards. Nobody else could hear it. The term wasn't that offensive, even if you do see it as racism you have to agree there.

There was no reason to punish this user aside from Skeleton going on an ego trip. Your power should be used to help the server, not to punish users for the sole reason of punishing them. It says more about Skeleton than anything else - perhaps I shouldn't have used the whole server in that analogy. My apologies.
