That's great now I'm being cornered. Let me explain. Svanz, was shitting and talking how the server rules are shit, talking about how you can easily get banned or what not, pretty much trying to make the server look bad. Ilikeblenko jumped stating that he had been banned for calling someone a retard. Note that before he said it people were chatting about how the server is too harsh etc and just causing a full uproar. When he said the word retard, I got offended and clearly it's a disrespectful word that shouldn't be used. I don't care how it was used, you don't need to use it ever. He was obviously trying to cause more reactions by saying it. If you think I was too harsh I'm sorry, but I got offended by it, and I think that should be held into perspective.

[quote="Raeker" post=899575][quote="Miia" post=899565]Someone has to argue the other side so i guess i will. We have a zero tolerance policy towards any form of discrimination on all zarp servers, this can mean that even saying a word that can be classed as discriminatory can get you punished regardless of context. As for what you actually said while petty the word in question is still used as a form of abuse to people with mental disabilities, i get what your point was but you still should not have said it.[/quote] This was used as an example in the situation though. He didn't say "You are retarded" or "What a retard" or anything along those lines, he simply said "I got banned for calling someone a retard", which is a fact. That isn't discrimination in the slightest and I don't see why he should be punished for it.[/quote] That's great now I'm being cornered. Let me explain.
