i have pics of people abusing me on LFS S2:irked: knowing that i am black calling me a "ni gg er" and what not...i would like something done about this...very soon.
Thank you MODern SPEED DEMON
Don't post any of the pics here, you should contact the devs on this matter.
Goto the LFS Main Site and contact the developers via their contact form. I imagine they would ask for evidence to support your claim, so make sure you have that.
send usernames to the devs (with screenshots or replays if possib) and ask for ban, also let u give their real names and send it to police i would do so (no matter if the chance of justice is low)
You're not going to want to hear this, but I'll say it anyway
AFAIK, calling someone a ni gg er is not against the law, even if it may be anti-social. Unless they follow you around from server to server harassing you, your best bet is to leave the server / ban them and avoid them. All servers in LFS are private and hence not controlled or moderated by the owners of LFS, and due to different servers having different standards, without proof of you being continually harassed on more than one server you haven't much of a case. Either way, even then you'd need proof that you didn't provoke them. Just IMO, and please take note of the sentence below.
Gl though, I'm against this sort of discrimination.
It may be or may not be against the law, depending on where you live. But it can get you a ban:
So if this is a case of persistent harassment, you can send a complaint to the devs. But to have a case, you should save a couple of replays that contain the offensive language/behaviour.
(This won't help against misbehaving demo users, though.)
They are some idiots in an internet game. Why do you care about them?
Laugh about their stupidity, leave the server they are on and join another one. If there are any sane people on the server they will get banned for 999 days anyway.
Some things shouldn't be ignored; racism, sexism and so on. Even if it might be an easier way than going the whole nine on them you should complete that form and send it to them togheter with any replays/logs.
I don't think the devs will take any action, as it is clearly the job of the admins to keep their server clean of such people. In extreme cases maybe the wrecker barricade might be an option, but in practice that's about the maximum you can expect someone to be punished with for verbal abuse. Though, at least trying by filing a complaint is surely not a wrong thing to do.
Contacting the police, however, is just ridiculous.
It's not big, it's not clever and it shouldn't be tolerated! This is only 1 incident that someone has made public, just imagine how many other incidents take place that we don't hear about because the victim keeps there mouth shut because they don't think anything can be done.
Well aren't we lucky that your opinion isn't the deciding one eh? I suppose you would ban everyone who doesn't have the same political view as yourself, or support the same football team?
Ok he read the word "n¡gger" big deal? Black use the words among themselves and seem perfectly cool with it, and when someone calls me a "kraut" I take no offense to it. Its even prohibited to use the word "n¡gger" on this forum but its perfectly acceptable to say "kraut" "limey" "beaner" Get what I'm saying?
'Sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me'
I've had a few sticks and stones thrown at me in the past, and none have broken bones. A few hurt, a few broke the skin, but the most annoying were repeated pokes with blunt sticks. But I suppose 'Sticks and stones might annoy me a bit, but words are totally harmless' doesn't sound as good.
This racist thing is getting more often. The other day I saw few guys mocking on another guy called him "****" and other offensive names. It's not very nice sight not in a game or real life and definetly those racist people shouldn't be allowed in this community or any other.
It's the responsibility of individuals to behave, i'm not responsible for your actions if you are on a server I operate. I can get rid of you if I or another visitor to my server find you offensive, but that doesn't make me responsible for you. You are responsible for yourself.
Personally i'm very much against all 'isms in the online world. I've seen enough prejudice in my time sim racing to last me well into Humanities future.
Unfortunately some small groups of people use the word '****' and '******' as an off the cuff general insult, it's important not to confuse this with racism but in the same breath it's important to realise that this sort of off the cuff insensitivity presents a very ugly picture of the person who says it.
A better example in a different context. I hate it when the term 'rape' is used to descibe being "/pwned". I hate it because it brings back memories for me that i'd rather forget, you can figure out the rest.
So I do understand why a "insert politically correct term" person finds it uncomfortable to be called these things.
For my own part I shall ensure that the badwords list on the CTRA servers includes a few derogatory terms, other than that all I can offer is moral support.
I have to ask a silly question, unless these ppl are ppl you associate with how would they know your skin colour? or religious persuasion or anything for that matter?
The one aspect of the internet ive always enjoyed is that racism and the other isms rarely happen unless you know the other people, lets face were all colorless on the interwebby..
The person who thought that up was obviously never bullied at school. Nor was he/she ever in a bad relationship.
People can be stunningly clever in finding the words that really hurt.
Yeah, i have seen that allot LFS and other racing games and other games too...
After they do that i make fun of then and then they shut up...
But yeah its stupid they think they are all that because they think there cool by saying the N word...
God those people are dumb..
