Racial slurs on Forged Alliance Forever games.

Postby greatgm » 29 Aug 2012, 17:48

You know just about what....10:30 A.M. on August 29th 2012, I saw someone title their game "Nigger get on the boat".

Now look that is a very offensive racial term to use. Now I know the makers of this did a wonderful job bringing SupCOM-FA back for everyone to enjoy and I give them great credit for this. I thank them for this wonderful service. However if there are people using racial terms to title their games, maybe the moderators need to ban these people. Using racial terms to title their games is very offensive to some people such as myself.

Therefore to the moderators, I suggest that they either

1. Prohibit those names from being used
2. Anybody that uses racial slurs should be banned from this site permanently.

This is really disgusting that I come to a game only to see racial slurs used in such insulting and frivilous ways. That needs to stop. :x

I noticed that game title last night as well. I agree that some measure should be taken by moderators for things like this. I am not sure how to go about reporting something, but try PMing someone who you know is moderator about it. Hopefully ,you made a note of who created that game. If it makes you feel any better, I do not see things like that very often on FAF. That was the first time I noticed something that bad in months.

Game lobbys are moderated too. Write a private message to an admin/chatmod and we will take care about it.

Just double click their name in the right side of lobby. I already PM'd a moderator about it and they are taking care of it.

Double click on their name in chat to open a PM window. Or send a PM on the forums to the "IRC moderators" group.
