1st kick:
You prop pushed a guy off the edge in Crummy cradle.
That is against the rules, even if he was AFK.

2nd kick:
You said Orel is pretty good "for a Jew".
Meaning you think lowly of Jews and you expressed it, which is racist.
Racism is not tolerated.

Racism is not tolerated.

1st kick: Prop killing who have been AFK for too long is allowed, AFAIK. Done it many times before, other people did it too.

2nd kick: Being a Jew is related to Judaism, and it's not a race. "Jews" is not a racial class. Orel was not offended by it, he told me himself and it's a joke I commonly use on him.

Also, calling someone a Jew is not an insult. I can call you an American, a Muslim, a Tengriist. If you are offended by these words, then you are a discriminator yourself. What's so bad about being one of them after all?

What you said was "He's doing pretty good for a jew"
Which is, whether you intended it or not, a racist remark. I asked you to stop, I explained several times, I think this video of your response will clear up everything.

Also, Orel is Israeli. Jewish is a religion. American is not. Your argument makes no sense, which I tried to explain to you in a calm and mediating demeanor. However, I got this as a response.


<insert video here after upload>


And, referring to your prop pushing of AFKs, that is not allowed. Regardless of what you've seen in the past. Those people were in the wrong too.
Besides, I am the one who asked cogs to remove you. He agreed with me and did it on his own reasons as well.
If anything, you should be filling this report on me.

To give all of you an idea of why sonerin was being a dick, I have decided to include this picture, FREE OF CHARGE.

And calling someone a Jew in an offensive manor is kickable.

Sherlock solves the mystery. That's why I can't be racist for calling him a Jew, or if I say that he's doing good for a Jew.

Speaking by your logic, being a Jew is an offense.

No, by my logic: Discriminating against someone for being a religion, whether meant in a joking manner or not, becomes an offensive statement.

You were causing a disruption in the server, and you were removed because you did not stop. Instead, to further prove your point, you continued making comments which could be construed as offensive. Which we do not allow.
Hence your removal.

Discriminating people for their race, sure. I might offend people by that. But I didn't offend anyone, I didn't discriminate anyone. Simply calling Orel a Jew won't make me racist.

Sonerin your arguments are incredibly irrelevant, and cogs has done nothing wrong. Any other VIP would do the same in such a situation with you, otherwise I don't quite know why they're VIP. Let's face it anyways, you aren't exactly a "model player". cogs isn't the only one that's had to manage your in-game behavior such as the prop pushing. He's done nothing wrong, you were rather caught in the wrong, and banned. >for 10 minutes
You now know either way why you were kicked, and know what NOT to do. So don't do it in the future.
Lock thread please.

The ending is my favorite part.

Notice, Orel saying "Israeli" rather than "Jewish".

No. We are the moderators; We will enforce the rules. If you are breaking a rule, whether or not it is directly offending someone, and then coming up to us going "Oh its fine, its a joke", then this is the result.

You failed to listen to warnings, and as such you were removed from the game.

You could say it before kicking me, so I would stop.

It doesn't matter if NO ONE is Jewish: if it can be construed as offensive, we will ask you to stop.
Which we did. You said "its not"
So you were kicked.

Also, we are not punishing you. Your punishment is over. You are back to playing, still going on about it, blah blah blah. This isn't a report on you, and I'd like to keep it that way. The argument happening in this thread is officially pointless.

Cogs did nothing wrong. Please, lock the thread.

You did not.

I don't have to be the one offended. It CAN BE offensive to someone, who will most likely NOT speak up about it. Therefore, it becomes my job to ensure that you are not offending anyone. Whether or not they would tell you "Hey I'm offended by that."

Rule #1 on the servers is respect, and your comments were not.

"Hey Jew." is not an offensive word. If people are offended that they are going to be traumatized about it, they tell me and I stop. Orel was not offended, and he is okay with my jokes. No one else was offended too, so there's no problem.

It can be misunderstood as a racist term, which is why we told you to stop. Instead, you continued arguing, like you are now, causing a disturbance.
To prevent others from coming into the server, finding our ranking members ignoring what they believe is offensive, sends a bad message to them. It shows that we do not care. We want a nice, controlled gaming environment. No racism, no over-the-top shit-spewing, no RDM, etc.

Respect. For you, for me, for the admins, the vips, the regs, and yes, our guests.
They are our guests, and we will treat them as such. If you are causing a problem which we think can disturb our other guests, we will take disciplinary action against you. Which is what happened.

You do not get to pick which rules you will follow, and you do not have the power to not follow a rule until someone is offended. No one does.

You don't think you were.
But discriminating against someone based on race, religion, color of their hair, skin color, sound of their voice, gender, etc. IS offensive. You're right; racism might be the wrong word for it. But you were disrespectful, and as such, you were removed from the game.

I don't know about where you are, but where I live, that is discrimination. Discrimination=offensive. Also, going back to the video; You notice Orel saying he would rather be called Israeli than Jewish. If it were him, he would call the person "Israeli". So, you see, discrimination, whether you MEANT to do so or not.

Sonerin, by the sounds of it, you were identifying people by their religion in a negative way. Whether YOU know people were offended or not (you don't...) it doesn't exactly create a good environment for people to be playing and having fun. It seems the way you were acting, is similar to previous ways I've seen you act, and it simply makes the game more tense and less enjoyable and it CAN OFFEND PEOPLE. We don't like to see people act that way, so don't do it, and quit arguing about it... All the same shit's just being repeated again and again. Lock and move on.

Nah. Calling someone a Jew is not racist in any countries. Sarkozy is a Jew, Netanyahu is a Jew, Orel is a Jew. I'm not being racist now, I'm just stating the facts bro.

Sonerin,

Let me explain

Calling someone a Jew is in fact not racist. For that you are right. You're allowed to state that someone is a jew/muslim/buddhist etc... etc...

But when you say it in an unrelated way when nobody asked you if that person is _____ then it can be considered racist. On the internet, we can't see it when you type something that it's supposed to be a joke. It could of offended anyone even if they haven't said anything

In short, Cogs/Deacon will not be abused. He/they kicked you for a fair reason, and you could of simply stopped, as they demanded. Now can an admin please lock this?
