My 3 Cents

Its a game get over it. Morons are morons. I do agree that labeling characters profane or racist names tends to reveal something decrepid about the indivduals that play the game. Also, I am sure there are people who take offense to such names. If people worry about such insignificant things then they are validating the players actions. Why else would they name a character a racist name, why for attention of course. There is no suitable justification for the names. As in most cases on the internet freedom of speech is less threatening. If someone were say such things in real life, it may lead to trouble. But in this quasi-fantasy world, you can't really do anything now can you except half-heartedly complain that players who display derogatory names are mean people. Let them have their stupid kicks and let them belive that what they are doing is cool. As long as they are the only ones believing then they are also the only ones being fools.

Doomed to repeat history?

bottom line is it's not entirely fair that a small footprint in history can shape the paranoia of everyone's future. Just because KKK meant something awful for a brief period of time (in the millions of years the earth has been around) should it be taboo forever? People still name their kids Hitler, Sadaam, etc. If all words associated with hate crimes, criminal activities, catastrophes were banned.. we'd have no names left after all the murderers and hurricanes and hate groups were weeded out.

Hmm.

i could perhaps understand if the Guild/Team was Called Ku Klux Klan, but even that i have a problem with. but its Kool Kids Klub. people should be able to name whatever they want, I can understand blocking a User named ***** Killer or something Equally Racist and Dergitory. but just because the organization is known for racist or sexist beliefs doesnt mean you can be against a name. its a name, Lighten Up.

I Was Called a "Racist"

Im sooo annoyed with the whole racisim problem, i myself was called a racist in the game and i was banned for 3 days, i had no suport and no warning just "get out" i feel victimised by blizzard and there system is gross'ly unfair some one tells a gm somthing, gm takes action, should be some one tells Gm, Gm speaks with player in question, some sort of judment then action. ive felt like quiting so manny times but i have gone so far i wouldnt like to loose my progress.

:(

thats not very fair people are racist to us but we dont report people im fed up with them puting people like us in the same server as them its just a game yes but it still isnt fair
