He's a fucking man in black dude, don't report him or you'll disappear.

I've spoken with several LT members and all of which I have spoken to about my roleplay name have agreed that my roleplay name is completely fine and doesn't break nor compromise any discrimination/racist rules.
Myself and Big Spook and from United Kingdom were the 'term' Spook is non existent as a derogatory term for black people, I've only recently myself and Big Spook have only recently learned about this slang phrase, there was no intention to offend/upset any members of the community, harmless.

Did you know that big spook could mean something thats big and scary?

sorry to hurt your fragile heart.

Next thing yaknow my name will be seen as Derogatory in some 3rd-world country

The term is up there with the n-word from where I live at in the United States, but it's non-existent apparently in the United Kingdom. Most of the people from the US including myself have wondered why you guys were allowed to even use these names.

I'm from the UK and I've heard about it...

EDIT: But in the UK as they've mentioned it has little to no meaning.

Hello,

After reviewing the report I can tell these names are offensive. Both players will need to change their names, here at ZARP we understand words have different meaning from country to country, however, this is an international community and that is why we need to look at it from an international perspective. If the name is offensive or clearly racist in one part of the world, and is creating controversy, we'll need to take action. Both players won't be punished - however, I expect both players to change their names even if they didn't mean or know the word was offensive.
