acer 636 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) https://streamable.com/u8doas https://streamable.com/es1ho0 I figure that it might be common sense not to call people "f*ggots" This ban is light, the full homophobia ban is a month, I let you off easy.

exile917 4 Posted September 6, 2021 Topic Author Share Posted September 6, 2021 Sorry just checked there was a post about homophobic terms and slang being used and if i read right it says and im quoting the actual post by nutter "As with all things there will be exception, IE: a member with an urban upbringing who's speech includes some foul language may be excused with a verbal warning, but generally, expect this procedure. First offense: Verbal Warning/Optional warning (depending on severity) Second offense: Warning & Chat mute Third offense: Warning & Elongated chat mute & jail time Fourth offense: Server ban for a 3 day period Fifth offense: 1 month ban for repeated hatespeech/racism/homophobia Sixth Offense: Community-wide ban."

Currently the forum posts for MilitaryRP say for OOC only, however Garnet made an announcement since those were posted, clarifying the Community's stance on this type of incident, and they are not permitted in any form.

Zedd 93 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 -1 from what I have seen from those lips and from what I have seen in the past , I genuinely do not believe that you are sorry , you only got a 1 week ban you are very lucky. Just leave as is and learn not or say stupid stuff again Link to comment
Kyle_Death 34 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) i gotta go with a -1 as well i saw the clips and was their for the ban and you said that in front of the worst people possible. just serve out the ban as you were let off with a fraction of what it would normally be and work on improving that mindset.

I'm not sure of any urban upbringing where calling a group of people "f*ggots" is allowed my friend. We were told when those new guidelines came into play that depending on the severity of the act, that we could act based on that. I grabbed a second opinion from both Head Admin's that were in the channel with me at the time, and they agreed that a week ban would suffice. I was also told that earlier in the day you had been given a verbal warning for either racism or homophobia (can't remember which one). Considering those facts, and the fact that you are a genuine member of the community, not some random person that just came on out of nowhere, I figured that you should know better. Do what you will with what I have provided, and best of luck! Link to comment

Do what you will with what I have provided, and best of luck! You're right I am a regular player and I should've known better but wasn't aware of the rule. And I wasn't given any verbal warning prior. I had been removed from a db but that was for not using pts. And growing up in a southern state the with a Hispanic family using the word f*gg*t wasn't a super derogatory term and was taken lightly. My main thing was I was banned in game and server with this being the only known incident regarding this Link to comment

It is your job to read and be aware of server rules. If @Fonza could elaborate on the verbal warning, I'm all for it. Link to comment
Mr_Fortnite 43 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) The post saying that all homophobic/racist comments aren't allowed isn't pinned on the forums. He may not have know about this and I think it is best to follow the punishment guidelines. Even if it was his second offense like acer said, it should've been a warn and a chat mute. +1 for the unban. The punishment guideline is there for a reason, and it is meant to be followed EDIT: exile's forum account was created July 10th. The rule overhaul was created in may. How would he have known about this if he didnt even have a forum account? The only rules that talks about homophobia is under the section "chat rules". As the video shows, this is an in character moment Edited September 6, 2021 by mrfortnite 3 1 1 Link to comment

As the video shows, this is an in character moment I know that DRP is different, but in-character racism/homophobia is strictly prohibited as well. We see it as an excuse to act in an extreme manner. Like I previously stated, we've been instructed to handle punishments in the way we see fit based on the person's actions. For example, saying something like "gays r weird" would call for a different punishment than calling a group of people "f*ggots". I agree, the overhaul should be placed in the rules section for MRP, but that's a different conversation. The overhaul posted by Garnet actually gives more leniency than before, which I'm sure wasn't the plan. Link to comment
StarWarsRP Management Team Theos 423 Posted September 6, 2021 StarWarsRP Management Team Share Posted September 6, 2021 Accepted Your ban will be removed, but you will receive a server warn for Homophobia. Also due the ban appeal, and now the perfect clarity regarding this type of comment, any further breach of this rule will result in the 3-day ban punishment, and carry on with the order of punishments thereafter. It is also worth noting that lack of reading the rule does not excuse the behaviour, and your upbringing in a Southern state has no bearing on future punishments @Jake Please lock and move 1 2 Link to comment
