I can't speak for the EU servers, but at least on the NA official servers the admins are pretty fast about kicking people who start spouting of racial things. If they keep at it, then they get banned.
Now homophobia on the other hand...
Freedom of speech ofcourse. But I think you should be able to shield yourself against those things that people say. I really don't care if people call me a f**** Dutch TAQWA or something. It's the internet..I don't take it that seriously. The people don't even know me.
Maybe you should try not to feel offended so easily. You can expect this everywhere on the internet. Especially in games..
bla, bla, bla
I think maybe he has met Panos and that is what the thread is about. :mrgreen:
Different cultures have completely different takes on racism, its hard to really put in any rules against it, cause being against racism is against some people who find racism the norm.
I mean being english, somebody makes an apparently racist remark at me, i generally find it a laugh, and think of something to say back about where there from. yet some place at the otherside of the world its illegal to be racist, so putting in rules against it pretty much takes the freedom from those who see racism is not a problem, and so long as it hurts nobody, it does just that. hurts nobody
So, my opinion. no rules on racism if it was my choice.
No. Trust me - he HASN'T met Panos.(click to show/hide)

The french equivalent of frog for english people is beefsteacks. But this is somewhat out of style. Although the beef steack is already terrible, they prefer mocking other parts of the horror museum called english food. Like boiled lamb with mint.
i was once victim of a racist attack, only beacause i'm white... the worst experience of my life, i was unamred and so scared... luckily a friend with a white tunic came to rescue me.
Here it's what happened... my mate on the left tried invane to talk with the angry attacker(click to show/hide)
Terrifying moments, my friend was about to get stabbed to death... i remeber i cried loudly "run away, run!!!" the guy with the shield was laughing and didn't lift a finger to help my buddy...i though it was the end...(click to show/hide)
but my "brother" kept a cool head, he jumped back and hit the "angry villain" with a tramendous strike to the head...(click to show/hide)
i couldn't believe my eyes, it was over! here it's my buddy checking the body of the angry man... the guy with the crossbow stole some money from the pockets of the racist offender and run away...(click to show/hide)
Racism is a bad thing, that experience shocked me, i was a happy,peaceful guy before, now i keep having nightmares and i'm afraid of everything, i lost trust in human kind... i will never be the same again...

I thought it was Roast Beef, or it was like 7 years ago
Some french girl was working in the same bar as me for a month or so and her bf was with her.
They spend all night saying "roast beef" and pissing their sides....
LOL!
Racism is very sensitive subject. Real life racism I mean, not the internet mumbo jumbo.I am a Turk, i born in Turkey , i am a muslim but anyway fuck Turks for the love of panos !
I think that's perfectly okay for me to speak bad about Turks. I'm not a Turk, I don't live in Turkey but I look like one, have black hair, I was born in a city where majority of people pray to Allah (but no I'm not a muslim). Also country where I live currently have been under Turkey for 500 years (no wonder I look like a Turk, lolz :mrgreen:).
But if some nordic dude with blue eyes and hair is talking bad about Turks I find that unacceptable.
You know, it's the same with N word. It's okay if a homie call another homie like that but it's not okay if a white dude call a homie like that :wink:
Racism isn't something universal. Racism has it's roots in reality and many people were tortured and died because of it.
So no, I don't think there's real racism on the internet. Believing there is racism on the internet, in the form of words, is making fun of all those people who actually suffered because of racism. Only true forms of racism on the internet are sites of already existing RL racist organisations whose names I won't mention here (most people know them).
But there are those silly rules on every message board on the internet (those rules are there to cover asses of board owners), and admins are always harsh when it comes to "so called" racism. Somehow I doubt if those people (admins on forums) were put in some real life situation where majority would act against certain group of people (black people, jewish people, minorities, homosexuals), would they do the right thing and try to protect those people.
What I want to say is, you can't prove shit on the interwebz. Proving grounds are away from the keyboard :wink:
And Panos talking shit about Turks is so funny (and Cicero and his crew talking about Greece), because of that Turkey vs Greece thing which going on for so long. Most people who live in those countries or on Balkans know about it. Not my problem you scandinavian dudes don't know about that :P
While I'm at it why don't throw something fresh and very "racist":
Italy is the new Greece, take that cmpx :P :P
I am a Turk, i born in Turkey , i am a muslim but anyway fuck Turks for the love of panos !
This is not racism and it is weird that a Swedish guy offended by Panos's trololol about Turks . Grow the fuck up.
The question still arises about whether it's acceptable when someone is insulted by it, whether they're from turkey or not.
I see you'v meet panos and his alts
But once it happened me and another man being called "useless turks" and was blamed for loosing the round.Maybe because you screwed up the round ? Most likely. Grow up and deal with it.
Get that fkin old avatar back!

I'll have you know that Roast Beef can be tender and full of meaty flavour. All of a sudden I miss home...
I am a Turk, i born in Turkey , i am a muslim but anyway TAQWA Turks for the love of panos !
This is not racism and it is weird that a Swedish guy offended by Panos's trololol about Turks . Grow the TAQWA up.
welsh
scots
my god the whole world is turning into a bunch of pussies
If Turks are considered to be caucasians, how can this be racism?
I always thought racism involved racial groups, NOT nations. What you guys are talking about is some kind of bigotry towards another ethnic or cultural group with attributes of fascism, nationalism and xenophobia.
This thread is very misleading.
Great example of the new millennium online generation, brainwashed into prejudicing anyone into political context.

For the love of all things holy, Turkish is not a race!

I have never stated that the Turkic peoples is a race...I'm glad that you can quote the Great Debaters. Have you never played an online game/mod outside of cRPG? You need thicker skin if shit like this still bothers you. No matter the rules, no matter how they're enforced, shit will still happen. Welcome to the internet.
Racism is the belief that inherent different traits in human racial groups justify discrimination. In the modern English language, the term "racism" is used predominantly as a pejorative epithet. It is applied especially to the practice or advocacy of racial discrimination of a pernicious nature (i.e. which harms particular groups of people), and which is often justified by recourse to racial stereotyping or pseudo-science.
Please keep this topic off these forums. There is no internet community that can discuss about this thing in this time and age. But if you really think that I am racist when I tell Curtis on ts that he is an English cunt, you should remember that I didn't think he is a cunt because he is English, but because he is a cunt that happens to be English. So same goes for that Turk thing. If some team had lots of Turkish clan players and they lost, someone decided to joke around with it. They are not useless because they are Turks, but because they were "useless" at the time and they still were/are Turks and therefore ---> useless Turks. It means nothing and happens to many other clans as well. It just happens to be that there is some clans with only one nationality in their member base. What about: "Useless Fallens", "Fucking old nab Fallens" etc... Is that racism against Fallen Brigade? No it is just common asshattery :D. And no racism because we are international clan. And it would not be even if we were only Indian Cherokees or what ever you might consider as some kind of a group of people that are pushed around.
I don't want to see "racism" based bans on EU servers. The reason for this statement is that real racists are not smart enough to find Mount & Blade Warband or neither to install cRPG mod to their computer, and that is a fact.
And to OP I would like to quote an old friend of mine:
"Go troll in a hole!"- Decimator
You mister, have a nice avatar! Approved
You should see what they say about friends.
And why arabs, turks, africans always speak about racism, what i've seen u guys are the biggest racists.
Turks are often annoying and highly nationalistic, and it doesn't help that a certain genocide in 1915 ''never'' happened, at least according to them.
Ah right cRPG, no notion of history.
Armenian genocide.
How many people fron Dresden can you fit in a mini? - About 25000 if you've got a shovel!
Heard about the new German-Chinese restaurant? - The food is great, but an hour later, you're hungry for power.
German: "Two Martinis, bitte."
Barkeeper: "Dry?"
German: "Nein, I said TWO!"

"Who's there?"
"Gestapo!"
"Gestapo who?"

A house, inhabited by a Greek on ground level, an Italian on first floor and a German on second, got on fire. Who survived?
The German. He was out practicing marching.
Tommy, a young English guy, 18 years old, is going off on holiday abroad for the first time in his life. He reckons he's going to get lucky while on holiday. He wants to be prepared so he goes to the local chemist's shop.
Tommy: "I'd ...er... like some condoms, please."
Chemist: "Yes, sir. What size pack would you like?"
Tommy: "What pack sizes do you have?"
Chemist: "Well, they come in packs of six, nine and twelve."
Tommy: "Ah, right. So who uses packs of six?"
Chemist: "Oh, well, they're really popular with the Italians. Once every day but never on Sundays."
Tommy: "Ah, right. And who buys packs of 9?"
Chemist: "Oh, they're very popular with the French. Once every day and twice on Saturdays and Sundays."
Tommy: "And the packs with 12 in them?"
Chemist: "Very popular with the Germans, they are. Once in January, once in February..."
American and a German are out hunting rabbits.
German aims, shoots and misses by 10mm to the left.
The rabbit remains still.
German reaims, fires again and this time misses by 10mm to the right.
German slings his rifel on his back and walks off.
American asks, why not shoot again, your sure to hit this time.
German replies "on average ze rabbit is dead"
Don't feed the trolls...
Come on, don't tell me racist jokes were not funny. I know a shitload of nationality jokes, and to prove that those are only jokes I will start with making some about my own nationality: German!
Why are there so many tree lined streets and leafy lanes in France?
Germans like to march in the shade.
Maybe ur emotion center is fucked up cuz all of the steroids u guys eat and hallucinate about racism. (1
Maybe u should try to speak english instead of spamming turkish in main chat, u have teamspeak where u can use ur fine language. If i want to interact in turkish i just order kebab. (2
Besides how could racism be a crime here if it is not a crime on every country? And why arabs, turks, africans always speak about racism, what i've seen u guys are the biggest racists. (3
