andjj@andjj.f9.co.uk 0 Posted June 30, 2012 I apologise if this has been answered elsewhere, I searched but couldn't find anything. I wanted to know if server admins / owners agreed with banning for name, or if the devs have given us information on where we stand with it. I believe that player names are part of the language they use, and if their names contain racist or hate language, I'd consider that good grounds for a ban. What do you guys think?I ask because I banned a player for his name tonight, see if you can spot which one:http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/9518/arma2oa2012063023593516.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lvg 1690 Posted July 1, 2012 Not sure if there is an official stance on it, but the community i'm apart of is strictly against racism, so i would ban for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrsherenai 64 Posted July 1, 2012 I think there is no discussion needed on that topic. I banned a guy named judenbengel...and i honestly dont care if anyone thinks this is wrong, if people come on my server using racist/warcriminal or whatever insulting names they get booted with no mercy.In addition rocket said once that racism and stuff is a legit reason to ban, I think your guy can be treated that way.

U.B.C.S. Ravin 326 Posted July 1, 2012 A guy named Faggot Slayer was banned from our server.We kicked him twice and told him to change his name, he didn't. So we removed him from the server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Freedom 34 Posted January 22, 2013 I think there is no discussion needed on that topic.

I am not sure if "Judenbengel" would classify for a racist name. I don't know if you speak German, but that name means translated as much as "naughty jewish boy". "Bengel" meaning as much as "naughty boy". And he calls himself a "Judenbengel", so he is calling himself a Jew. The other name in the first post, "Adolf Nigger-Zerstörer" is quite clear. "Zerstörer" meaning as much as "destroyer". That's clearly racist, but I have the feeling that calling "Judenbengel" racist is making the word "Jude" or in English "Jew" a racist word, what would be a racist act itself.So, how do you explain that this name is racist?
